A beautiful cool blonde is the dream of many women and girls. But for some reason it always washes off quickly. We are used to blaming the hairdresser for this, the dye he uses, but often it is the owner of the hair who applies time to the shade, provoking the rapid appearance of yellowness. We'll tell you how to keep your hair ashy, what habits to give up, and what hair care products to use.
Mistake 1: Using volumizing shampoo
Before tinting
After tinting
Hair volume products have a very aggressive composition, so they wash out the artificial pigment faster. Blondes need to use shampoo for colored hair, preferably one that contains a pigment that neutralizes yellowness. This is a purple shampoo, mask, balm.
Toners for cool blondes
The most effective and dramatic way to maintain platinum blonde at home is to use tinting masks and balms. Such products act as a gentle toning with an additional care effect. Leave them on your hair for about 15 minutes. The effect won't last long, depending on how often you wash your hair, but it's a great way to tide you over until your next coloring session.

Mistake 2: Regular styling with hot tools
If you have ash blonde hair, you need to reduce blow-drying and flat ironing to a minimum. High temperature negatively affects not only the condition of the hair, but also the color. They quickly acquire a yellowish or rusty tint (depending on the lightening background).
How to reduce the harmful effects on hair?
If you minimize the regular mechanical impact on the strands, then the problem of how to restore hair after dyeing and provide it with a healthy natural color will be half solved.
A woman begins every day by combing and styling her hair. In this case, a brush that is not the softest may be used, which not only combs, but also tears the hairs.
And if you use a hair dryer after washing your hair, then its hot air dries out the curls that are already overdried after coloring.
The picture of the detrimental effects on the health of strands is complemented by thermal devices such as curling irons or straighteners.
Therefore, to carefully comb hair damaged by coloring, it is recommended to purchase a brush with natural bristles or a wooden comb, which can be used to gently care for even long curls.
At the same time, it is worth getting rid of the habit of combing wet hair, because it is at this moment that it is very vulnerable.

Drying curls with the hot air of a hair dryer has a weakening effect on the structure of the hairs, the same thing happens when exposed to heat from straightening and curling devices, as well as when the head is heated in direct sunlight.
Therefore, it’s worth forgetting about the existence of such devices for at least a couple of months. If you don’t have time to wait for your curls to dry, you can dry them with a hairdryer by turning on the cool air function.
After chemical hair coloring, it is not recommended to wash your hair daily.
In this case, the fat produced by the sebaceous glands of the scalp is washed off, which means that the natural layer is removed, which should provide protection to the skin and hair from the effects of the external environment.

Therefore, even after the dyeing procedure, you can wash your strands only on the 3rd or 4th day.
If you want to restore your hair after dyeing, including your original color, under no circumstances should you perm your hair in the next two to three weeks.
The interval between these two procedures should be at least one month.
Mistake 3: Using natural hair cosmetics
Today, many women prefer natural hair cosmetics. Its composition inspires confidence, and the condition of the hair seems good after use. However, there are also disadvantages. Natural ingredients included in shampoos and masks, as a rule, are not aimed at maintaining a cool shade. On the contrary, they give the hair a warm, wheatish tone. Therefore, the only thing left to do is either give up the idea of washing your hair with natural cosmetics, or accept the fact that your hair will be golden.

Mistake 4: Using hair oils
Oils help deal with split ends and make the hair structure smoother and silkier. However, with ash blonde, you need to choose not universal natural hair oils, but special ones designed for an artificial shade. The composition of such cosmetics is adapted to colored hair and does not displace pigment, unlike natural compositions.
Mistake 5: Washing your hair with hot water
Hot water, like a hot iron, helps to accelerate the displacement of artificial pigment. As a result, coloring comes to the color obtained after the lightening procedure many times faster than with proper care. It is usually a yellow tint, sometimes orange, reminiscent of rust.
Summarize:
It is recommended to wash your hair with water at room temperature. This is useful both for preserving hair color and for the quality of hair. It is also worth using special cosmetics that can not only maintain the shine and health of hair, but also neutralize yellowness. And remember that ash blonde must be maintained in the salon. For this purpose, a tinting procedure once every 3-4 weeks is required. This is the secret of perfect platinum blondes.

Why does hair become dull? There are several main factors:
— Frequent hair coloring and curling (especially bleaching). Platinum and other shades of blonde deprive hair of shine, greatly weaken it, and turn hair into tow. Perm and dyes contain strong alkalis and greatly change the natural acidity of the hair: the bonds that maintain the level of keratin in the hair structure are destroyed.
— Hair dryers, electric combs, curlers, curling irons concentrate heat and dehydrate hair.
— Diets and monotonous nutrition do not have the best effect on hair.
— Hair is especially weakened in late summer and autumn due to prolonged exposure to the sun. Ultraviolet light strips hair of the fatty layer that covers and protects it from the negative effects of the environment.
How to restore shine to hair? There are many ways, the most effective is to carry out a course of hair treatment at home. So, “first aid” for hair is a head massage, hair masks, and certain foods in your diet.
