Blondes may have more fun, but maintaining that gorgeous colour during summer? That’s a whole other story. Between sun-soaked beach days, salty swims, chlorine dips, and endless heat, your bright blonde can quickly turn dull, dry, or brassy if you don’t show it some love.
Whether you’re rocking icy cool tones, buttery golden highlights, or a natural sun-kissed vibe, the right routine makes all the difference. Here’s your complete guide to keeping your blonde looking salon-fresh, soft, and vibrant all summer long – with the HASK Blonde Care collection as your secret weapon.
Why blonde hair fades faster
If you’ve ever noticed your blonde losing its sparkle faster than darker shades, you’re not imagining things – it really does require extra TLC. Here’s why:
● Porous strands: Blonde hair, especially if lightened, tends to have a more open cuticle. This means it absorbs and loses moisture – and colour – faster than other hair types.
● UV exposure: The Aussie summer sun is intense, and UV rays can break down colour pigments, leaving your blonde looking faded or brassy.
● Salt and chlorine: Beach days and pool dips might be fun, but they wreak havoc on your strands. Salt draws out moisture, leaving hair brittle, while chlorine can leave blondes with a greenish tint.
● Frequent washing: With the heat, humidity, and beach trips, you’re probably washing your hair more, which can strip natural oils and speed up fading.
The good news? The right blonde-care routine can counteract all this damage and keep your colour shining all season long.
Your blonde care routine
1. Purple Shampoo and Conditioner
Every blonde’s best friend, purple shampoo and conditioner, are must-haves for fighting brassiness. The HASK Blonde Care collection is specially formulated with violet pigments that neutralise yellow tones, leaving your blonde bright and fresh.
How to use:
● Swap your regular shampoo and conditioner for the Blonde Care duo 2–3 times a week (or as needed).
● Let the shampoo sit for a minute or two before rinsing – this gives the violet pigments time to work their magic.
● Always follow with the conditioner to replenish moisture and keep your strands soft and silky.
2. Deep Conditioner for weekly rescue
Summer heat, UV exposure, and salty air can leave blonde hair feeling dry and brittle. That’s where a deep conditioner comes in. HASK’s Blonde Care Deep Conditioner delivers an intense moisture boost, helping restore strength, smoothness, and shine.
How to use:
● Apply a generous amount from mid-lengths to ends.
● Leave it on for 5–10 minutes to deeply hydrate and repair stressed strands.
● Rinse thoroughly and enjoy instantly softer, healthier hair.
For extra nourishment, try using it after long beach days to counteract salt, sun, and chlorine damage.
3. 5-in-1 Leave-In Spray for post-swim protection
Chlorine, salt, and UV rays are tough on blonde hair – but you can protect your colour before the damage sets in. HASK’s Blonde Care 5-in-1 Leave-In Spray is the ultimate summer hero, providing hydration, detangling, thermal protection, shine, and frizz control, all in one bottle.
How to use:
● Mist evenly over damp hair before heading out for a swim or into the sun.
● After swimming, rinse your hair with fresh water and reapply to detangle and protect your strands.
● It also doubles as a heat protectant for styling days.
Extra TLC tips for blondes
Sometimes, a little extra care goes a long way when it comes to keeping your blonde vibrant and healthy. Here are a few bonus tips:
● Wear a hat: A wide-brimmed hat or cap protects your strands from direct UV exposure, keeping your colour from fading prematurely.
● Rinse with cool water: Hot water can open up the hair cuticle, causing colour to wash out faster. A quick cool rinse seals the cuticle and locks in shine.
● Reduce heat styling: Summer heat plus hot tools equal stressed strands. Give your hair a break by embracing air-dried styles and beachy waves.
● Use a silk pillowcase: Prevent friction while you sleep and wake up with smoother, shinier hair.
Bonus: clean formulas = no build-up or residue
The last thing blonde hair needs is heavy build-up weighing it down or leaving residue that dulls your shine. That’s why HASK’s Blonde Care collection is free from sulphates, parabens, phthalates, gluten, and drying alcohols. You get vibrant, healthy hair without any nasties – just clean, effective formulas powered by nourishing ingredients.
Plus, all HASK products are cruelty-free and vegan-friendly, so you can feel good about what you’re putting in your hair.
