    Thumbs up Great product for blondes!

    I just wanted to share this product, John Frida "Go Blonder" controlled lightening spray. It has gradually dyed my black regrowth light brown-ish, so it's MUCH less noticeable and it's helped me to dye my damaged hair less often . It is heat activated though, so if you are avoiding heat treating your hair, then it's probably not the best choice. http://www.johnfrieda.com.au/Product...ghtening-Spray

    oo I just wanted to add that I've been using the "Go Blonder" shampoo and conditioner and that alone has lightened my hair so much I haven't needed to get my hair re-highligted yet (got them done 4 or 5 months ago). I haven't tried the spray but a lot of reviews say that it fried girls' hair so I'm afraid to try it. But definitely HIGHLY recommend the shampoo and conditioner for blondes who get highlights!

    Sun In is also a good one like that. Be careful though! If you get these lightening products at their maximum strength or with lemon added into them, they can literally melt your hair which causes it to break and fall out! I've had it happen soooo many times. It's hard to upkeep blonde! Make sure you're using heat protecting products. I've had to unintentionally cut off all my hair when I was younger for not properly caring for it. Good luck to you and rock that blonde!

    Ooh I also had the Sheer Blonde shampoo and it did really well on keeping my platinum hair toned and not yellow! It was pretty comparable to the Paul Mitchell purple shampoo!

    My hair dresser recently told me NOT to use these products (if your hair isn't damaged, it should be fine though). Of course, getting a toner at the salon is better. But, in the mean time or when you are on a budget you have to do the best you can with over the counter products.

    Which products did she say not to use and why? I'm a purple shampoo addict.

    ^All of them actually. Apparently I should even avoid purple shampoo . I was using it a few times a week, along with other products. Like I said, it depends on how damaged your hair is-so don't worry! My last hairdresser literally fried my hair and I'm determined to nurse it back to health and keep the length. I honestly have noticed a difference since I stopped using the purple shampoo etc (it did dry my hair out, a lot).

    My hair is FRIED. Chemically cut in places! (Luckily nobody knows but me and the hairdresser who screwed it up, it just looks thin and frizzy. Thank god for buns and extensions). The shampoo and conditioner don't even seem to matter anymore at this point so I've just been going with the ones that at least give me the color I like. I'm know I'm late to the coconut oil circlejerk but it's seriously the only thing that makes a difference.

    ^I live with my hair in a bun and ONLY wear it out with extensions too (sneaky!) . Mine has broken off in places as well (from a bad hairdresser blenching over foils etc ). It's frizzy and dry too. I know what you mean about the shampoo not mattering, but if you haven't already, try the Kevin Murphy range (born again treatments and the young again rises are GREAT. And the blonde angel purple shampoo is gentle and good for a colour refresh. Avoid the purple treatment though, if your hair is that damaged). Also, mix a bit of Moroccan argan oil (about the size of a coin) with your conditioner in your palm. This helps. Having a good shine spray makes a difference too (I like the Kevin Murphy one and the Delerenzo one)Having damaged hair is devastating...but we have to rock it!

    Since I'm more white blond/platinum/violet toned, would you still recommend the John Frieda stuff? If my hair gets brassy, I get grumpy. I'm concerned it will have a Sun In kind of effect.

    Purple shampoo and conditioner for life! Try AVEDA's Blue Malva as it is plant & flower based.

    I think they have different kinds for various blond shades..I am using on & off, the Matrix one for blonds, it's a purple shampoo conditioner, my salon gave me samples of it.

    Just wanted to add. Please be careful with lightening sprays like sun in! I tried it a few years ago in the summer on the beach, and my hair which is always very long and healthy, started to break off... I guess I left it in too long or sprayed too much. My hair is light blonde, rather thick, but super fine, which is another issue. Everyone asked if I was getting my hair cut in layers. It took about 3 years to grow it back to waist (and slightly below) length, and now I'm deathly afraid of that stuff. Maybe plain lemon juice is better, but I'm not taking any more chances. A product that I recommend is an oil free non spray shine serum like at Sally's. It makes hair mirror-shiny, and protects from damage. I also never use heat styling appliances which can dry hair. Biotin is great too.
    good luck!

    ^If you're a white blonde (that's what I'm working towards-love that look ), it would probably make it kind of brassy. You're probably best sticking to the purple shampoo or whatever your hair dresser recommends .

    I used the Aphogee last night after bleaching my roots and so far I'm impressed. When I pulled on strands that were about to break off it took much more force than it normally would. It's more like preventative care than something that will make your hair look instantly healthy (in my case at least) but I'll take it. Definitely will use again. I also recommend their shampoo for damaged hair for washing bleach off at home. My scalp instantly felt better.

    I recommend Tresemme Platinum shampoo and conditioner for blonde. My hair is in better condition than it was before I bleached it because of this stuff. The John Frieda purple shampoo/conditioner is good but it doesn't leave it feeling as soft and smooth, it just tones the colour. The tresemme stuff is only about $5 for a big bottle, it's the best product I've found and I recommend it to everyone! And to tone your hair just use some toner from a beauty supply store

    Edited to add: I use drugstore boxed bleach too which is usually not good to do but this shampoo makes it so I have NO breakage or damage at all
