Cool blonde: how to preserve the colour and the health of your hair with the Color Bloom Mask toning care mask?

Cool blonde is a classic that always looks modern and stylish. But achieving a beautiful shade and keeping the hair healthy after bleaching is not easy. Incorrect colouring, aggressive haircare products, and frequent use of hot tools can quickly turn the dream of a perfect platinum or ash blonde into brittle and dull hair.

Let’s take a closer look at how to achieve a cool shade as gently as possible, how to maintain the structure of the hair after bleaching, and how to choose the right home care routine to keep your blonde bright and healthy.

Why is cool blonde hard to maintain?

Blondes face several typical issues after colouring their hair in cool shades:

• Yellowing and warm tones — the most common challenge. Hair after bleaching or colouring may develop yellowish or golden undertones that ruin the cool-blonde effect.

• Breakage and dryness — bleaching damages the keratin structure of the hair, making it fragile and prone to split ends.

• Fast fading — cool pigments wash out more quickly, especially with frequent washing, sun exposure, or the use of hot tools.

To avoid these problems, it’s important to approach colouring comprehensively — from preparing the hair to correct aftercare.

Preparing your hair for a cool shade

1. Assessing hair condition
   Before any bleaching, it’s best to evaluate the health of your hair. If the hair is dry, brittle, or porous, it’s better to go through a recovery routine first — for example, using deep nourishing masks like the RepairPro line by LAvHAIR, which strengthen the hair structure and improve elasticity.

2. Pre-moisturising
   Well-hydrated hair is easier to colour and suffers less damage during bleaching. Special care masks can help.

3. Proper bleaching
   Many blondes aim to achieve the lightest shade in a single session. However, drastic bleaching damages the hair and may cause yellowing. It’s better to lighten the hair gradually and use professional low-concentration oxidants.

How to achieve the perfect cool tone?

A cool blonde shade requires regular maintenance — colouring techniques and home care work hand in hand.

• Toning masks and shampoos.
  They neutralise unwanted yellow tones and give the hair a clean platinum or ashy finish. But it’s important to choose a product that won’t dry out your hair. That’s why the Color Bloom Mask in Platinum Ice is a real lifesaver even without a salon visit: it delivers a cool-toned effect while keeping the hair soft and silky.

• Maintaining the hair structure.
  Cool pigment applies more evenly on restored, healthy hair, so combine your toning routine with masks containing proteins and hydrolyzed keratin — this helps achieve a deeper, cleaner shade.

• Exposure time control.
  Avoid overexposing a toning mask — the colour may become too cool. Follow the recommendations and check the shade during the process.

With the caring toning Color Bloom Mask, you can maintain your cool blonde at home and enjoy a clean, beautiful tone without damaging the hair.

Home care for cool blonde

1. Hydration and repair
   Cool shades are especially prone to dryness. Use deep-repair masks and conditioners enriched with keratin, oils, and vitamins.

2. Heat protection when styling
   Blow dryers, straighteners, and curlers greatly affect cool pigments. Always use heat-protectant sprays and avoid temperatures above 180°C.

3. Gentle cleansing routine

• Use cool or warm water.

• Avoid washing your hair daily — excessive washing accelerates pigment fading.

• Use sulphate-free shampoos — they help preserve the cool tone and maintain hair structure.

4. Protection from sun and external factors
   Ultraviolet rays and chlorinated water speed up the loss of cool tones. Use UV-protective hair sprays and limit exposure to chlorinated water.

Professional solutions for maintaining cool blonde

In addition to home care, include products that support hair after colouring:

• Pigmented toning masks — they neutralise warm tones and maintain the desired cool effect. Color Bloom Mask nourishes the hair, adds shine and elasticity, helping to keep cool blonde for a long time.

• Repair masks and ampoules — they help reduce breakage, restore elasticity and shine. Using them once a week provides visible results after a few treatments.

• Professional shampoos for cool shades — contain violet or silver pigments to combat yellowing and reduce the frequency of heavy toning.

Expert advice for blondes

1. Plan colouring based on your hair’s condition — sometimes it’s better to divide the process across several sessions.

2. Follow the recommended processing times for masks and toning products.

3. Combine home care with salon restoration treatments — your hair will stay healthy, shiny, and strong.

4. Use heat protection and limit aggressive styling, especially immediately after bleaching.

5. Regularly moisturise your hair and nourish it with proteins, oils, and vitamins.
