Once you have successfully colored your hair blonde, you will want to learn what you need to do to maintain it. Maintaining blonde hair is different than maintaining other hair colors because of the long process that you have to go through to color your hair blonde. Going blonde usually means using harsh chemicals on your hair, which can cause a lot of damage to your hair.

The first thing that you want to do when maintaining your hair is to restore your hair to its natural healthy condition. To restore your hair you will want to use a deep conditioner each time you shampoo your hair. However, you do not want to wash your hair every night, you only want to wash your hair every two to three days because you want the natural oils in your hair to have a chance to repair your hair. The deep conditioner only needs to be used for the first four weeks.

If you are going to be using any kind of heat styling products on your hair, including blow dryers, you will want to use a heat protecting spray on your hair. The reason you want to do this is because it will protect your newly blonde hair from turning into something that resembles hay (basically stringy and dry hair).

When you are going outside into the sun you stand the chance of your blonde hair turning yellow, which is something that you really want to avoid. To help prevent your hair from turning yellow you will want to use an SPF spray in your hair to protect your hair from the UV rays of the sun.

However, the sun is not the only reason that your hair will start to turn yellow, most women who have colored their hair blonde find out that time is the biggest culprit in turning their hair yellow. To help prevent this from happening your best chance is to use a purple-based shampoo. This works because it places cool tones into your hair to prevent the yellow from coming out.
