Blonde Like A Boss!

Whether you're a natural blonde or considered going blonde at some point you may or may not know that to do it well, requires commitment. As a blonde, you're bound by upkeep but with that said, when your blonde hair looks healthy and shiny, it's well worth it. 

For the best ways to upkeep blonde to keep it vibrant, healthy and shiny,

check out the tips shared by the team at mien! 

1. Find the right shampoo routine.

You will find your hair texture and condition has changed after colouring your hair, so your shampoo routine should also change accordingly. We recommend Aveda because it doesn’t have any nasties in it like chemicals, sulphates and parabens that can strip your hair and coat it with an artificial silicone .

2. Use a treatment that will repair your hair. 

Going lighter can break down the integrity of your hair. This is why we recommend you use a treatment at home. This will rebuild your blonde strands and keep them strong to minimise breakage. Our favourite is Aveda’s Botanical Repair range. You can use the light or the rich version and if you have time, wrap it in a warm wet towel for optimal results. 

3. Find the right styling routine. 

Over stylying with heated tools will damage your hair. Although heat styling is a great way to complete your look, using a leave in treatment like Aveda’s Botanical Repair Leave in Treatment will strenthen the bonds and protect your hair from the heat at the same time.

4. Invest in a good paddle brush.

You’ll be surprised at how much your hair stretches when it’s wet! Using a paddle brush from roots to ends causes a lot less stress on your hair! This is because the bristles are alot further apart therefore using less tension on your hair. Our favourite is Aveda’s wooden paddle brush.

5. Get a toner/gloss once a month. 

AVEDA gloss acts as a treatment improving the condition and shine of your hair. Who wouldn’t want that? Ask us next time you visit mien– you won’t regret it.
