Aylward, who has been a bleached blonde before, “loves” Sachajuan’s Silver collection because the “super pigmented” purple shampoo and conditioner helps remove yellowness from the hair, and “won’t alter” the bleached hair. He is also a fan of the “clean, minimal” bottles — they’re white with a purple label — that look “super chic” on the shower shelf. The shampoo earned a 4.6-star average rating from more than 150 reviews on Amazon while the conditioner received a 4.5-star average rating from nearly 60 reviews on Amazon.
Hairstylist Courtney Foster recommended this purple shampoo to help “balance out” the bleach blonde color and enhance its vibrancy. Since bleach blonde hair is “very delicate,” dries out easily and breaks if it’s not cared for properly, Foster appreciates the “very moisturizing” ingredients like coconut, sunflower oils and squalane. The shampoo earned a 4.6-star average rating from more than 8,800 reviews on Amazon while the conditioner received a 4.6-star average rating from nearly 3,500 reviews on Amazon.
This honey-based shampoo is infused with a blend of minerals, vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants. "Honey is a natural humectant that maintains the hair's natural moisture balance while giving it a really nice shine," said celebrity hairstylist Dominick Pucciarello of The Salon Project in New York. "Bleached hair needs extra moisture to prevent further damage." It received a 4.8-star average rating from nearly 130 reviews on Gisou’s site.
After Shopping Production Coordinator Rebecca Rodriguez bleached her dark brown hair, Olaplex’s shampoo, conditioner and popular No. 3 treatment became staples for her chemically treated hair. “It’s helped save my hair and it’s never felt softer,” said Rodriguez, who has used the Olaplex system for the last three years. She highlighted the No. 3 pre-shampoo treatment as her favorite, which boasts a 4.6-star average rating from more than 70,600 Amazon reviews. The treatment helps repair broken hair bonds and protect against heat damage. Olaplex's shampoo and conditioner each earned a 4.7-star average rating from more than 25,600 reviews and more than 27,600 reviews respectively on Amazon. If you’re looking for a deeply hydrating hair mask, the brand also recently released the No. 8 Hair Mask this month.
