Why does bleached hair need extra care?
Bleaching changes the hair structure, so strands may feel drier, tangle more easily and become more sensitive to heat. A sensible routine gently cleanses the scalp, supports smooth lengths and limits avoidable damage.
A practical routine
For many people, a suitable shampoo, conditioner and occasional mask provide a useful foundation. Choose products for your scalp and hair condition, not just your hair colour.
- Choose shampoo according to your scalp's needs.
- Apply conditioner mainly through the lengths and ends.
- Use a hair mask only as directed; leaving it on longer is not always better.
- Use heat protection and moderate temperatures when styling.
Should you use purple shampoo every time?
Not necessarily. Purple pigments can visually counter unwanted yellow tones but do not lighten hair. Follow the product instructions, especially on porous or very light strands.
