Top 5 tips for looking after your blonde hair

 1. Invest in a quality shampoo & conditioner. Blonde hair can go brassy or yellow over time and the best way to combat this, is by using a violet shampoo at least every second wash. Blitz stocks several toning shampoos, my fave is Keune Silver Reflex. These products work immediately as the pigments are quite strong, they actually feel nice on the hair too  and aren't drying like other brands can be. RRP $22.50

2. Put the hairdryer or flat iron away. Have a few days a week where you don't use these appliances. Get creative with braids or wear your hair up. Heat damages hair over time so try and minimise this if possible. When you do use heat, be sure to use a heat protectant spray on your locks.

3. Make time for regular appointments. Every 6-8 weeks will keep your blonde hair in optimum condition. Get your stylist to apply a toner after your colour, have the split ends cut and maybe indulge in a treatment. Your hair will thank you for it!

4. Indulge in a hair mask once a week. These are generally much thicker than a regular conditioner. A protein mask will strengthen hair, great if you've just had a bleaching session while a hydrating mask will add softness. Keune has some beautiful masks, simply apply wrap your hair in clingwrap and wait 10-15 mins. Or longer if you have time ")

5. Finally have some fun with your blonde hair. Its great to experiment with different shades. Popular at the moment is the grey ashy look. Easy to achieve with a toner. Ask your stylist
