Golden rules to get beautiful blonde hair like these Korean celebs

Twice Tzuyu gave us proof that there’s always a new way to pull off blonde hair. By sporting a darker yellow hue on the top, she is creating a more natural-looking finish so you won’t see a noticeable line of demarcation when your roots start to show. Besides being incredibly low-maintenance, a shadow root also allows you to experiment with the pale hair colour without washing you out since a more forgiving, darker hue goes on higher (closer to the face) to complement your complexion.

As a rule of thumb, always stay within two to three shades from your natural colour. Because of the high levels of red pigment in and thickness of Asian hair, it is more challenging for the hair to hold on to colour. If you try to lighten it too much, you might wind up with brassy hair. The best way to go blonde? Do it gradually.

Compared to other hair types, Asian hair has less of a cuticle protecting each strand. That is why it is important to be diligent in maintaining the colour and condition of your hair. Make sure you get a deep conditioning treatment at least once a month for bouncy and shiny locks.

Most hair colourists agree that you should avoid shampooing your hair immediately after bleaching it. Shampooing makes your scalp more sensitive. It’s a good idea to stick to dry shampoos for a couple of days after bleaching your hair.

While your bleached hair is the perfect canvas for playing around with hair colours, you should hold off dyeing your hair until your hair texture is healthier and stronger. This could take between four to six weeks depending on how porous your hair is.

There is a reason why purple shampoo is an essential in every faux blonde’s arsenal. A purple shampoo neutralises the undesirable orange brassy tones that you get from washing your bleached hair. Besides washing your hair with purple shampoo, you can also create your own leave-in treatment by mixing your purple shampoo with your hair conditioner.

If you just bleached your hair, avoid heat styling your hair as the heat from hot tools like curling irons and hair straighteners could weaken the bonds in your hair and damage your hair

Keep those pesky roots from showing by concealing them by dusting on some eyeshadow that matches your hair colour.

Blondes do have more fun! Aside from being able to change up your hair colour at a moment’s notice, going blonde also gives you more room to experiment with different fashion and makeup styles. There is also something about the contrast between bright red lips and blonde hair that makes it look so effortless and stylish.
