How to care for hair after bleaching

Bleach opens up the hair to lift out colour, which leaves it drier and more fragile than before. A few simple habits make a big difference to how it looks and feels in the weeks after.

At-home care

  • Give it a little time before the first wash, so the colour can settle. Ask your stylist how long for your hair.
  • Use a gentle, colour-safe shampoo and always follow with conditioner.
  • Add a hair mask once a week to put moisture back.
  • Rinse with cool or lukewarm water rather than hot.
  • Cut down on heat styling, and use a heat protectant when you do blow-dry or iron.
  • Detangle gently, starting from the ends, with a wide-tooth comb.
  • Protect your hair from chlorine and strong sun, for example with a cap.
  • Keep the ends trimmed so split ends do not travel up the hair.

If your blonde turns yellow or brassy

Lightened hair can pick up warm, yellow tones over time. A purple shampoo used occasionally can soften this at home; a toner in the salon gives a more even result. Ask us which suits the shade you want.

When to book an in-salon treatment

If your hair feels rough, tangles easily or breaks when you brush it, a salon treatment can help more than home care alone. These are the treatments clients with coloured or bleached hair usually ask about:

FAQ

Quick answers

It depends on how much your hair was lightened and how it feels. A weekly mask at home is a good start; we can suggest a salon treatment rhythm after seeing your hair.

The Japanese Repair Treatment (from RM238) is designed to revive damaged hair. Tell us your colour and bleaching history so we can advise.
