A guide to caring for bleached hair

If you've had your hair coloured, chances are you've had your hair bleached.

And chances are you would be well aware that bleach can cause some damage, particularly if you neglect your hair care routine off the back of your colour treatments.

So here we are with a list of ways to care for your bleached hair it doesn't, ya know, fall out or whatever.

Hair slugging is a bit of a hair care trend at the moment. It involves oil and a sock...

Try and wash your hair only once or twice a week at max.

Avoid chlorine as much as humanly possible - or if you're into swimming for exercise, try lathering your hair with coconut oil and throw on a swimming cap.

Use a purple shampoo - but don't go overboard.

A little recommendation, if we may - L'Oreal's Chroma Creme Purple Shampoo.

Use a repair mask - K18 should be your bestie.

Sleep your pretty head on a silk pillowcase

Try not to use heat styling tools ALL the time.

Use a heat protectant spray before you style. EG De Lorenzo's Thermal Shield.

Try to wash your hair with cool or luke warm water rather than piping hot. Heat = damage.
