When you have blonde hair or rely on regular treatments to treat your dry scalp, the structure of your previous hair routine feels especially out of sorts. Instead of monthly root touch-ups or undergoing hair treatments, we've had to adjust our expectations during the course of circuit breaker.

All you need is a targeted product of choice—and we've got some options.

Toning your blonde hair

Your beautiful platinum blonde hair, done way before circuit breaker, is now looking brassy and dull (we have tips from 4 local hairstylists on how to care for your bleached hair). To get it up to platinum again will require complicated colour techniques best left to your colourist once restrictions are lifted (and thankfully, you'd have access to more salon services soon). In the meantime, we recommend these serums for reviving, enhancing and maintaining the tone of blonde hair.

The lavender-hued hair mask promotes colour luminosity for a brighter, shinier blonde. It also helps detangle hair from root to end, minimising the breakage that tends to happen when hair is bleached multiple times to achieve its platinum look.
Missing your scalp treatments
Since we can’t rely on hair salon treatments to treat a dry, flaky scalp, stick to leave-in scalp treatments that deliver rich hydration and lasting relief from itching and irritation.
