Blonde hair isn't as common as dark-colored curls. Meanwhile, all kinds of statistical surveys and studies confirm that it is the owners of light strands that men consider to be the sexiest. In pursuit of male attention, women are ready to sacrifice the quality of their hair in order to turn into blondes. One of the biggest downsides to dyeing your hair a light shade is the loss of pigments, and your hair will end up dry and thin.
The second disadvantage of light hair
It consists in the constant presence of yellow or red pigment on the curls. It is impossible to completely remove it, and as a result, instead of blond curls on the head, many blondes have lifeless strands with yellowness. To solve this problem, hairdressers have developed a special shampoo for blond hair. This product differs from the usual in that it helps to eliminate yellow pigment, and also tones hair in light or ashy tones. In our market, the most popular product is from the Estel trademark, as well as tinted shampoos forblond hair from "RoColor Tonic". Let's talk about these products in this article, what to expect from them, whether owners of light strands should buy them.
"Gray" and "purple" shampoos
Despite the fact that Estel shampoo for blond hair is in the greatest demand in Russia, there are a lot of similar products. You can buy the product in professional and specialized stores, and the price of shampoo for bleached hair is higher than the cost of a conventional care product. Such products are called "gray" not at all because of the color, but because of the effect that it gives. Thanks to the violet and silver pigments contained in the product, this shampoo tones the hair and removes yellowness. If you have bleached strands, or want to maintain a natural look of gray hair, we recommend trying a clarifying shampoo for blonde hair.
Line from the brand "Estelle"
Estelle's Prima Blonde shine shampoo for fair hair is very popular among "bright heads". And it is quite deserved, because based on the feedback about these products, the tool copes with its tasks well. These shampoos and conditioners are known for helping to maintain ashy tones without over-drying the hair. There are two types of Estel shampoos for blond hair from this line, plus an additionalcare cosmetics.

Curex Color Intensities
There is another worthy product from this brand, in addition to the products of "Estelle" and "Prima Blond". Shampoo for blond hair "Curex Color Intens" is also worth a try for those who care about the beauty of bleached hair. This product gently cleanses the hair, giving it a cool milky tint. Its advantage is that it "works" even without the obligatory balm pair.
This Estel shampoo for blond hair, according to reviews, has a silvery color, without bright purple pigments. As a result, after use, the hair is not dyed pink or purple, and the yellowness goes away. Women consider the disadvantage of this product to be that the effect lasts until the next shampooing. If you decide to alternate Curex Color Intensity with otherproducts, that is, the likelihood that the cold silvery tone will be replaced by yellowness. The price of the product is from 250 to 350 rubles, depending on the place of sale.
Schwarzkopf shampoo for men
This product is also recommended by blondes to maintain beautiful cool blonde tones. Despite the fact that this shampoo is designed for men and has a specific pungent smell of men's perfumes, it washes out the yellow pigment from curls.
Product from Schwarzkopf has a deep purple color. It can be used to maintain color and give hair silver tones. To maintain the color, you need to mix a cap of shampoo and one and a half liters of water, rinse the strands after washing with shampoo. Also every four to five shampoos with your regular shampoo, it is recommended to use Schwarzkopf Gray instead of your regular product. The price of this tool is from 450 to 600 rubles.
Indigo Light Hair Products
Shampoo for light colored hair of the Indigo brand appeared on the domestic market in 2016. The product, by the way, is not the only one in the line, it is positioned as a professional one. However, unlike expensive hair care cosmetics, the price of Indigo is indecently low. So, a 300 ml shampoo can be purchased for about 150 rubles, and a liter bottle costs about 400.
No positive reviews about this shampoo for blonde haira lot of. Girls who have tried "Indigo" on their own hair believe that there are more disadvantages from using it than advantages. So, the product lightens the hair selectively, as a result, after use, you can see that some strands have become silvery, while others have remained yellow. A tint balm from the same series can cope with this problem. If you take a balm or mask from another brand, then the beautiful light shades will go away along with washing off the foam. You can not ignore the advantages of products "Indigo". The product does not dry out the hair at all. In addition, the shampoo has good cleansing properties, washes away oil from the hair roots.
Tinted shampoos and conditioners
There are also several well-known brands on the Russian market that produce shampoos and balms that can tint or radically change hair color. One of the most sought-after products is produced by Rocolor under the name Tonika. The tinted shampoo for blond hair from this brand allows not only to remove yellowness, but also to give purple or pink curls a fashionable color today. How good is this product according to consumers? Due to the low price, even a schoolgirl can afford to buy Tonic, and besides, the effect of RoColor tint balms really is, especially if you want to enhance the color of red or dark hair. But when it comes to shampoo for blonde hair, the responses vary.
Balm "Tonic"
"Tonic" really does a good job of neutralizing yellow pigments, the effect lasts up to 3-4 washes. The disadvantage of this product, firstly, is that "Tonic" significantly dries out the hair. Secondly, if you decide to give your hair a shade, then be prepared for the fact that it will lie unevenly. Girls note that as a result of dyeing, some strands may remain yellow, others will become silver, and part of the hair will even turn purple. If you have nothing to lose, then, of course, you can try "Tonic" on your hair. But if the hair color was carefully selected at the hairdresser, then there is the possibility of ruining it. In addition, "Tonic" is washed off for a long time and in parts. If you do not like the result of staining, you will not be able to get rid of an unnecessary shade in one wash.
How to use "Tonic" to neutralize yellowness? Mix a cap of balm with 1.5-2 liters of water, rinse your hair after washing with this composition. The color of the tinted shampoo is rich purple, and diluted in water, it becomes pale purple. The price of "Tonic" ranges from 150 to 200 rubles.
Concept Blonde Shampoo
Professional brand Concept is also introducing its Anti-yellow product for colored blonde hair. This shampoo does not dry hair as much, according to reviews, as it contains essential oils that provide sufficient hydration andfood. Customers believe that this is a fairly good option for caring for dyed hair, due to the low price and good quality. The cost of a 300 ml bottle of the product is no more than 450 rubles. The product is suitable for daily use, cleanses the scalp and hair well, the curls after washing are soft and easy to comb.
Why might a highlighter product not work?
Do you take good care of your hair, but shampoo for blond hair does not help you? Reviews indicate that, despite expensive care products, curls often remain yellow. The reason may lie not at all as a shampoo, but in something else. There are at least three important external factors that you may not be aware of. For example, if there is too much iron in the water you wash your hair with, then regardless of the quality of the clarifying shampoo, the hair will still turn yellow.
In addition, it is almost impossible to achieve the perfect ashy tone for girls whose hair is quite dark by nature. A sharp transition to light colors will certainly give yellowness, since it is difficult to remove the dark pigment to the end. Another yellowness of the hair may be due to the fact that the quality of the hair has deteriorated greatly in the process of reusable dyeing. As a result of exposure to oxygen, damaged hair oxidizes from the inside, changes its color and turns yellow. Best of all, blondes are worn on light brown hair, in which initially there is not much dark pigment. In this case, the use of brighteningshampoo will certainly give results. If you see that no matter what care products you use, but in the end your hair still remains yellow, then you should think about switching to a different palette to save your curls. It is unlikely that you need lifelessly dull, albeit light ash hair.
Summarizing
If you think that by dyeing your hair blonde, you will certainly get perfect curls, like Daenerys Targaryen from "Game of Thrones", then you are mistaken. Light curls need daily care, which is expressed not only in washing and combing, but also in the use of special formulations. Shampoos with gray and purple pigments allow you to neutralize yellowness, provide your hair with the desired ashy shade. A significant disadvantage of using such products is that the hair dries out, becomes thinner and loses its strength. Perhaps there is not a single shampoo that would provide the strands with sufficient nutrition. Be sure to use a balm from the same series with shampoo for blond hair. If you use a different brand of balm or mask, you may not see any effect from the clarifying shampoo after rinsing. Remember that he althy hair always looks beautiful, sometimes it is better to prefer natural tones instead of a lifeless blonde.
