The Ultimate Guide to Scalp Lightening

What is scalp lightening?

Scalp lightening, is a technique that involves lightening the hair at the roots, extending the colour seamlessly from the scalp. The process requires precision and expertise, as the bleach is carefully applied to the roots, ensuring even coverage and minimal damage to the hair follicles. Scalp lightening works for a variety of hair types and textures, making it suitable for everyone. Whether you have fine, straight hair or thick, curly locks, our skilled stylists can tailor the technique to ensure a stunning, healthy result.

How to care for your blonde hair?

Your brightest blonde isn't just achieved in the salon! Caring for blonde hair requires the use of products specifically tailored to maintain its colour, health, and shine. Here are some essential tips for keeping your blonde locks looking their best:


1. Use a Purple Shampoo: Blonde hair is prone to developing brassy or yellow tones over time due to factors like sun exposure and environmental pollutants. Incorporating a purple shampoo into your hair care routine helps neutralise these unwanted tones, keeping your blonde hair looking fresh and vibrant.


2. Condition Regularly: Blonde hair can be more prone to dryness and breakage, especially if it has been chemically treated. Using a moisturising conditioner regularly helps hydrate the hair, restore its elasticity, and prevent split ends. Look for products specifically formulated for colour-treated hair to ensure they're gentle on your blonde locks.


3. Limit Heat Styling: Excessive heat styling can cause damage to blonde hair, leading to dryness, breakage, and frizz. Whenever possible, allow your hair to air dry naturally or use heat styling tools on a lower heat setting. Additionally, always apply a heat protectant spray or serum before using hot tools to minimise damage.


4. Schedule Regular Trims: Keeping your blonde hair looking its best requires regular maintenance, including frequent trims to remove split ends and prevent breakage. Aim to visit your hairstylist every 6-8 weeks for a trim to maintain the health and shape of your hair.


5. Protect from UV Rays: Exposure to sunlight can cause blonde hair to become dull and faded over time. To protect your locks from UV damage, consider wearing a hat or using hair products that contain UV filters when spending time outdoors.


6. Deep Condition Weekly: Treat your blonde hair to a weekly deep conditioning treatment to replenish moisture and nourish the hair from within. Look for deep conditioning masks or treatments specifically formulated for colour-treated hair to help maintain your blonde's vibrancy.


7. Avoid Chlorine and Saltwater: Chlorine from swimming pools and saltwater from the ocean can strip away your hair's natural oils and cause blonde hair to become dry and brittle. Before swimming, apply a leave-in conditioner or coat your hair with a protective oil to create a barrier against these elements.


8. Sleep on Silk: Switching to a silk pillowcase can help reduce friction and minimise tangling, breakage, and frizz while you sleep. Silk pillowcases also help prevent your blonde hair from becoming flattened or creased, allowing you to wake up with smoother, more manageable locks.
