Most of us have little trouble going blonde for the Summer season - after all, the perfect sunny shade is only a hairdresser’s appointment away.

But few of us find it easy to maintain the expensive salon shade we leave with.

That is because hair consists of two main types of pigments; black and brown pigmentation and a mix of red, orange or yellow elements. Unfortunately, once the latter starts to appear after a few weeks of wash-and-wear, it can be hard to get rid of. Environmental factors can also take their toll on your beautiful, new ashen shade and leave you with a dull, brassy tone.

Here are some easy ways to maintain your hair colour for a little bit longer and refresh that lovely light hue you paid for.

Revlon Nutri Colour Cream
A colour bomb for cool blondes, it adds shine and softness to locks, too.

Redken Blonde Glam Color Enhancer Perfect Platinum
A great conditioner that helps eliminate brassiness, clarifies colour and reinforces strength.

L’Oréal Professional Shine Blonde Shampoo
If you have very light hair, some shampoos created for blondes can leave a greyish tone, but not this one. A natural shade for even the fairest of them all.

Pureology Perfect Platinum Masque
Nourishes and strengthens the hair while moisturising and protecting its colour. © Cover Media
