Treat Light-Colored Hair With These Ulta Beauty Products
Here's What Your Hair Needs If You Choose to Go Lighter This Summer
Summertime is synonymous with pretty sunsets, ceviche tostadas, and low-key "I woke up like this" hair. But if you've chosen to go lighter with one of summer's key hair trends, some maintenance is still in play — if anything, color-treated hair requires more nourishment, whether for dryness, color protection, shine, or anything in between. Below are some products to keep your fresh new color in tip-top shape during the warmer months.
IGK Blonde Pop Shampoo
You did it! You finally went blond. So, what next? The IGK Blonde Pop Shampoo ($31) is a blond-enhancing product that instantly neutralizes brass and provides softness and shine. Its squalane-infused formula helps to restore moisture and brilliance while protecting and enhancing your blond strands. Purple rice, which helps to soften and strengthen hair, and heat protection are also part of the package.
Olaplex No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask
Between hair-color chemicals, swimming (in the pool or ocean), and pollution, your hair may require some extra attention at the end of the day. The Olaplex No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask ($28) is the perfect way to do a little self-care moment and give your mane the extra treatment it requires to be smooth, shiny, and ultra moisturized.
Biolage Colorlast Conditioner
The Biolage Colorlast Conditioner's ($21) mane job (pun intended) is to soften and detangle while moisturizing and extending the life of your hair color. It helps preserve vibrant salon hair color for up to nine weeks, and you know what that means – more $$$ in your wallet.
Sun Bum Tone Enhancer
The Sun Bum Tone Enhancer ($15) spray is a leave-in treatment that helps remove brassiness and bring out cooler blond tones. It contains violet extract, which protects against damage that causes discoloration, blue spirulina (which is jam-packed with amino acids), and argan oil, which results in softer, silkier, shinier strands.
Madison Reed Light Works Bond Building Cleansing Treatment
The Madison Reed Light Works Bond Building Cleansing Treatment ($30) can be used once a week in place of your shampoo to help strengthen highlighted hair and prevent it from breaking. It contains keratin, argan oil, and ginseng-root extract, all of which fortify hair, restore elasticity, and mend split ends.
Nioxin Scalp & Hair Leave-In Treatment
The Nioxin Scalp & Hair Leave-In Treatment ($26) gives color-treated hair with progressed thinning what it needs to appear thicker and fuller. It increases hair resilience, moisture balance, and fullness while ensuring that your hair color remains vibrant.
