These Products For Blond Hair Will Make Everyone Ask If You Just Went to the Salon
Whether you were born with a beautiful blond hue or sought some assistance elsewhere, you definitely don't want to let it turn drab. Of course, pretty much no one is rushing to sign up for dullness, no matter their hair color, so it's important to consider the specific concerns with light-colored looks in particular. If you do already have cool-toned blond hair, you're also probably all too familiar with the threat of brassiness — and the violet-tinged products often used to balance that back out.
Plus, lighter hair is more easily changed by sun exposure (and can be sensitive to hard water), so that's something else to consider. Oh, and don't forget that any chemicals used to change color could nudge previously strong hair over to the fragile side . . . meaning you're left with that problem to solve, too. Ack.
Well, lucky for you (and your blond hair), we've picked out the best hair care to help with all of these problems, straight from Sephora. Some of these products change up your current shade, while others just make sure your style stays as bright as you want it to be. From heat protectants to limit breakage to color-depositing masks, there's something at Sephora to tackle fading, frizz, and more.
Check out the shampoos, conditioners, and other treatments that address issues specific to blond hair ahead.

Kérastase Blond Absolu Anti-Brass Purple Mask
