Tress Trend: Bright And Blonde

White-blonde hair is back and more chic than ever. Spotted on practically every other model at fashion week, we predict this tress trend to be the biggest of the season. While the bleached look is glam and gorgeous, it can also be a pain to maintain. If you’re considering a much-needed maneover or have straw-like strands in need of some TLC, check out these powerful products designed specifically for platinum locks and color-treated hair.

Blonde Bombshells

Rocked on the spring runways of Roberto Cavalli, Stella McCartney and Prada (just to name a few), the all-over bleach blonde manes on these models are totally worth talking about.

Shampoo & Conditioner

Investing in the right shampoo and conditioner makes all the difference. To avoid dull, lifeless locks as a result of build up, try out color-friendly products that will neutralize brass while keeping your mane moisturized.

John Frieda Shampoo and Conditioner, $7 each

Looking to channel the trend? Invest in a tone-correcting shampoo and conditioner to keep your dye job bright, fresh and white. Repeated use of this drugstore dream team neutralizes brass and won’t over dry your hair—it truly works!

Serge Normant Shampoo and Conditioner, $26 each

Whether you’re an all-over blonde or are a highlighted brunette, Serge Normant’s dynamic duo brightens blonde pigments for a gorgeous, golden glow. Not feeling the bright white look? This shampoo and conditioner is ideal for creating an au naturel appearance instead.

Repairing Mask

After bleaching, you must make time for a weekly application of a hydrating hair mask to avoid breakage and dryness. Conditioning is key!

Phyto Phytokeratine Mask, $39

Phyto’s deep conditioner restores hair to its healthiest potential without weighing it down—hello volume and shine! Even better, this dream cream is free of parabens and sulfates.

Shine Enhancer

When going platinum, bleach literally strips the natural color from your hair follicle. This process can do away with shine and luster, which is the not-so-chic price you pay. Don’t worry—you can still get a gorgeous, eye-catching mane with the right products.

Complete with a brush applicator, this bright white dry shampoo powder provides volume and absorbs oil without over-drying—a perfect purchase if you’re deciding to bleach.
