They say blondes have more fun. And maybe that's because of the bold and bright vibes blonde hair gives off. However, as with all types of hair, blonde hair can have its bad days. And without proper care, your blonde hair can appear dull and brassy. Luckily, you can bring back your blonde hair's vibrancy with these simple tips.

1. Use Shampoo Specifically Formulated for Blonde Hair

Blonde hair tends to be more fragile than other hair colors. Since it's typically much lighter than other hair colors, it also tends to fade faster under the influence of the sun and hair products. To prevent this, find a shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for blonde hair. Look for hair products that are labeled color-safe, highlighted blonde, and/or shampoo and conditioner with ultraviolet light protector.

2. Don't Rinse Your Blonde Hair with Hot Water

Hot water can have harmful effects on your blonde hair. Since your hair is already pretty fragile and some parts are bleached, you don't want to risk damaging it with too much heat.

Rinsing your hair with hot water can result in breakage and split ends, even when you use conditioner. Hot water also dries out and damages your hair, making it more susceptible to breakage, damage, and brittleness.

3. Use Moisturizing Conditioners and Hair Masks

Your blonde hair needs extra moisture. The shampoos and conditioners made especially for blonde hair can help lock in moisture and keep your blonde hair looking healthy. If you want, you can also apply a hair mask once or twice a week to add extra moisture to your blonde hair.

Make sure to avoid heavy, oil-based hair masks. Heavy hair masks can weigh down your hair and make it appear flat and lifeless. If you want to use an oil-based hair mask, try an Argan oil hair mask. These hair masks are specifically made for blondes and are very light in texture.

4. Go Easy on the Heat

It's best if you avoid using heat tools on your blonde hair like a blow dryer and flat iron. Your blonde hair is already prone to damage and breakage. Heat only makes things worse. Unlike brunettes and black-haired women, blondes have a little more leeway when it comes to using curling irons and hot rollers.

If you're going to use a flat iron, heat it up to the lowest setting. And apply a heat protectant before using it. Use a flat iron only when you absolutely have to. If you like using a blow dryer, use a diffuser for better results.

5. Protect Your Blonde Hair From the Sun's UV Rays

Auto-fading is real — and it happens faster to blonde hair than other hair colors. To keep your blonde hair looking bold and bright, you have to protect it from the sun's UV rays. Wear a hat or headscarf when you go outside. Use hair products with sunscreen in them.

And consider applying a leave-in conditioner with sunscreen to protect your hair from further damage. If you visit the beach frequently, consider taking your hair on a vacation of its own. A trip to the beach can cause serious damage to your blonde hair. Consider getting a beach hair makeover instead.
