Maintaining Your Hair: All Things After-Care

At Blonde and Bronde Salon, we believe beautiful hair is more than a look—it’s an investment in how you feel every day. Whether you’re wearing a platinum blonde, a multidimensional bronde, extensions, or the smooth finish of a keratin treatment, maintaining that salon-fresh quality requires the right care at home.

Here’s your complete guide to keeping your hair polished, healthy, and radiant between visits—with recommendations tailored to the premium experience we provide.

Color Care

Our blonding and bronde techniques are thoughtfully crafted to enhance your features and elevate your overall look. To preserve the richness, shine, and health of your color, consistent at-home care is essential.

1. Start with Quality Care

Choose salon-grade, color-safe shampoos and conditioners—always sulfate-free—to gently cleanse without dulling your tone. We recommend working within the Kevin Murphy line for high-performance care that supports both color and condition.

2. Be Mindful of Water & Light

Wash your hair just 2–3 times per week, and always rinse with cool water. Hot water and direct sunlight are two of the biggest culprits in fading color. When spending time outdoors, protect your hair with a hat or UV-filtering products to maintain vibrancy.

3. Delay Toning Shampoos

To extend your in-salon tone, avoid purple or blue shampoos for at least the first 6 weeks. During this time, stick to gentle, color-safe formulas to let your color settle in beautifully. After six weeks, weekly use of a toning shampoo can help maintain your desired tone.

4. Treat Regularly

Color-treated and lightened hair benefits from a routine of protein-rich and hydrating treatments. We recommend incorporating weekly masks from Kevin Murphy to keep your strands fortified, glossy, and soft.

Extension Care

Our luxury extensions—whether beaded weft, K-tip, or V-light—are meticulously placed to blend seamlessly and support the health of your natural hair. Proper maintenance ensures they remain flawless between visits.

1. Brush With Intention

Detangle daily using an extension-safe brush. Start at the ends and work your way up, supporting the root with your other hand to avoid tension or slipping at the bonds.

2. Sleep & Style Strategically

Secure your hair in a loose braid or low ponytail before sleeping to prevent tangling. A silk pillowcase can help reduce friction, keeping your extensions smooth and your hairline protected.

3. Wash Thoughtfully

Use sulfate-free, lightweight products. Apply conditioner only from mids to ends, and avoid the bonds to prevent slipping or buildup. Always dry your roots completely to protect the integrity of the extensions.

4. Maintain on Schedule

Timely move-ups are key: beaded wefts typically need to be adjusted every 6–8 weeks, while K-tips and V-light methods can last 10–12 weeks. Regular appointments ensure your extensions remain comfortable and undetectable.

5. Protect Against the Elements

Chlorine and saltwater can dry and damage both your natural hair and your extensions. Apply a leave-in conditioner before swimming, braid your hair, and rinse thoroughly afterward to minimize exposure and tangling.

Keratin Treatment Care

Our smoothing services feature the Cezanne Keratin System—an advanced, formaldehyde-free solution that eliminates frizz, enhances shine, and leaves your hair luxuriously soft and manageable.

1. No Waiting Period

Cezanne is designed for modern lifestyles. You can wash, style, or tie your hair up immediately after your treatment—no downtime necessary.

2. Use Cezanne-Compatible Products

To preserve your results, use only products that are free of sulfates and sodium chloride. Cezanne-compatible formulations help maintain the smoothing effect and extend the longevity of your treatment.

3. Choose the Right Treatment for Your Needs

The Express treatment lasts up to 2 months, making it perfect for seasonal control or a special event. The Classic treatment provides long-term frizz control and enhanced shine for up to 5 months with proper care.

4. Avoid Salt Water & Chlorine

Chlorine and salt water can prematurely strip your treatment. Before swimming, apply a leave-in conditioner and secure your hair to limit exposure. Always rinse thoroughly afterward to help maintain smoothness and shine.
