Below are listed all of the products needed: – Goldwell Oxycur Lightener and 30 Vol. Topchic Developer: Mix one scoop of lightener and 30ml developer. Leave on for 30 minutes up to 45 minutes max. If you’re going platinum, you would need to bleach 3 times all together and then apply a purple based toner. This product ‘foams’ during the developing time, so don’t just “paint” it on. Use your hands to work the bleach in. Make sure you apply just enough so it doesn’t get dry before the 30-45 minutes, it’ll really damage your hair! *DO NOT USE HEAT WITH THESE PRODUCTS! ALSO make sure to buy the measuring bowl so you can measure out the developer correctly! You can buy these three products from hello-gorgeous.net Additional products: the following products can be found online, or in most drug department stores. – Hot Oil – Dumb Blonde Reconstructor – Silver Expressions shampoo & conditioner – Fanci Full Ultra White Minx toner (temporary- washes out in one shampoo) – Igora Gloss Iceflower toner (fades after about 10 washes) Like I said, it will take awhile before your hair is manageable again. Be patient and very gentle with your hair! Don’t blow-dry. If you do, make sure you use the setting where it’s cool air, not hot. Don’t shampoo for the FIRST week- just use conditioner, hot oil, and the reconstructor. Have fun going blonde guys!

Great Hair on a Fixed Budget

With the economy hitting wallets, some people may not be able to afford all the services provided by hair salons. However, hair salons offer valuable tips on how clients can maintain their hair in between appointments.

Despite limited budgets, people still like to feel beautiful and stylish hair means a higher self esteem and makes people feel good. People don’t have to spend a lot of money to make their hair look great. Hair salons realize that people are on fixed budgets and want customers to still look great despite their money woes.

How to Maintain Beautiful Hair

Hair salons encourage clients to keep up with their hair appointments. For customers on a fixed budget, hair coloring appointments can be done every few months (if monthly hair coloring becomes too expensive). Many high-end salons offer discounted prices for a cut and color, and offer 2 for 1 bargains on hair products.

Salons encourage customers to buy at least one quality salon product to help them maintain beautiful hair in between appointments. Clients should advise with their stylist as to what product works best for their hair and prioritize the products (if they can’t buy the products all at once).

The following professional hair salon tips can keep hair looking great in between appointments:

Don’t wash your hair every day. This can dry out hair and allows the natural oils to hydrate your hair. Take a break from hair dryers, curling irons and flat irons. Heat can damage hair so let your hair dry naturally a few days a week. Use a rich, hydrating conditioner or hair masque once a week to moisturize hair and to maintain shine. Less is more when using products. For natural-based, botanical products don’t use a lot of product. Because these products are more concentrated, you don’t need a lot when you wash and condition hair. Make your own hair products if you can’t afford to buy high-end hair salon products. Lemon juice makes blonde hair shiny and smashed avocado mixed with olive oil hydrates and adds shine and luster to brunette hair. Rinse hair with cool water after conditioning. For long hair, keep end trimmed on a regular basis so hair continues to grow. Split ends make long hair look unhealthy and dry.

I don’t want to go out and buy a kit or anything? What can I use at home to give my light blonde hair red highlights?

Whether your hair is a crowning glory or a daily embarrassment has everything to do with hair maintenance. If you don’t take care of your hair, it will show! These hair maintenance tips will keep your locks shining and stunning all year round.

Regular Trims

Because hair grows unevenly, proper hair maintenance requires regular shaping from a skilled professional. Unless you really know what you’re doing, don’t cut your own hair. Do-it-yourself haircuts usually look it. They can also result in blunders that require a salon visit to fix. Save yourself the trouble and get periodic trims to refresh your style and keep your mane from looking raggedy.

Maintain Color

If you color your hair, you already know the importance of keeping the roots colored as they grow out. Dark roots with blond hair or gray roots with any color can completely ruin your look and tell the world you color your hair. Whether you color your own hair or visit a salon, be sure to color roots every 3-6 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows. And remember to refresh the color in the rest of your hair to prevent drabness and fading.

Remove Buildup

Most of us use styling products like hairspray that can build up over time and cause hair to look dull and damaged. City smog or a few hours in a smoky club can coat hair with a sticky substance that can be difficult to remove, even with a good clarifying shampoo. Routine hair maintenance should include regular treatments to remove buildup. Mix a tablespoon of plain baking soda with a few drops of water to make a paste, add a tablespoon of shampoo, mix well and use to wash hair. All the buildup will wash out.

Keep It Clean

Hair maintenance means keeping hair clean. Oil and dust can build up and coat the hair, making it look dull, greasy and weighted down. Use a gentle shampoo if your hair is delicate, otherwise any clarifying shampoo will remove daily dust, oil and other buildup. Follow with conditioner unless your hair is very oily. In winter, conditioner will remove static electricity while in summer, a proper conditioner can reduce frizz caused by humidity.

Brush Daily

It may sound old-fashioned, but brushing your hair 100 strokes every night will help it to look its best. Flip your head upside down and gently brush from roots to ends, moving the brush after every few strokes to include all areas of the scalp. Brushing your hair in this way will increase blood circulation, stimulate the scalp and distribute oils evenly throughout the hair. Regular brushing will increase thickness, make hair shinier and help it to grow faster.

Growing It Out

Growing out a haircut, especially a short one, takes patience and a willingness to forgo the regular trims that keep it looking its best. To keep hair looking good as it grows out, keep the bangs trimmed and have your stylist trim only the tips every 3-6 months. Wear your hair up, pulled back, or in a ponytail to keep it looking neat and well groomed as it grows. Add a baseball cap or headband for variety.
