What is Ash Blonde Hair?
So, what exactly is ash blonde? It’s a cool-toned blonde with grayish undertones, making it distinct from the warmer, golden blonde shades we often see. If you're tired of those pesky brassy tones that can sneak in with traditional blonde hair, ash blonde offers a chic alternative. This cooler shade is perfect for adding depth and dimension, and it suits a variety of skin tones, giving your hair that refined, sophisticated look.
How to Achieve Ash Blonde Hair
1. Consult a Professional
First thing’s first—if you’re serious about going ash blonde, you’ll want to consult a professional stylist. A colourist will assess your hair’s current condition and help you choose the perfect ash blonde shade to complement your skin tone. Trust us, this step is key to getting that flawless finish!
2. Assess Your Base Colour
Your natural hair colour will determine how light you need to go to achieve that ashy effect. If your hair is darker or has warm undertones, you’ll likely need to lighten it first. This process may involve bleaching, so it’s important to go slow and be gentle with your hair to avoid damage.
3. Choose High-Quality Products
Quality products are essential to keeping your hair looking its best. When it comes to colour-treated hair, using sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners is a must. GK Hair has a line of products specifically designed for colour-treated hair that will help preserve your shade while nourishing your locks.
4. Follow Up with Toner
Once you’ve lightened your hair, it’s time for toner. This step is critical in removing any remaining warm or brassy tones. A good toner will give you that signature ash blonde finish we’re all after, ensuring your colour stays cool and fresh.
5. Regular Maintenance
Ash blonde hair requires a little more TLC to keep it vibrant. Regular salon touch-ups are important to maintain the colour’s freshness, but you can also extend the time between appointments with the right home care. Products like GK Hair’s keratin-infused treatments help maintain hair health and keep your locks looking shiny and smooth.
6. Incorporate Silver Bombshell Shampoo
Once a week, use GK Hair’s Silver Bombshell Shampoo to help keep your blonde locks bright, cool, and free from brassiness. This multitasking formula hydrates, cleanses, and tones your hair all at once—helping to maintain that gorgeous ash blonde look for longer.
Maintaining Your Ash Blonde Locks
1. Regular Touch-Ups
Ash blonde tends to fade faster than other shades, so regular salon visits are essential to keep your colour looking fresh and vibrant.
2. Use Colour-Safe Products
Protect your hair by using colour-safe products that won’t strip your hair or fade your shade. GK Hair’s products are infused with keratin, which helps keep your hair strong, shiny, and looking healthy.
3. Limit Heat Styling
Overusing heat styling tools can damage your hair and cause colour to fade more quickly. Try to limit the use of flat irons and curling wands. When you do style, always apply a heat protectant to shield your strands from damage.
4. Cool Rinses
Wash your hair with cool water to help seal the cuticle and lock in moisture. This can also help keep your ash blonde colour vibrant for longer.
5. Silver Bombshell Shampoo
As mentioned, don’t forget to use Silver Bombshell Shampoo once a week to keep any brassiness at bay and your hair looking fresh and fabulous.
