We asked our team member, Chelsea Riggs (brand president), to give you a glimpse into how she integrates our blonde collection into her hair routine.

“Because I’ve been bleaching my hair for more than half my life, I basically only see myself as blonde. Sometimes it’s an ashy blonde, sometimes I go for warm. Right now, I’m in the middle… like Beige. And I’m always on a mission to keep it as blonde and bright as possible! My hair is stick straight, fine and easily weighed down… but also dry & porous because of the bleach. My constant struggle is balancing the nourishment with getting greasy, flat hair, so I’m always cocktailing and experimenting with different combinations throughout the week.  

My routine: 

I’m lucky if I can go 3 days without washing my hair, and I can’t even skip a day without dry shampoo. I’ve tried nearly everything out there and there just isn’t anything else like perk up dry shampoo for me. It absorbs oil, sweat etc. without feeling chalky and keeps my hair looking like I did wash it! It also helps when my roots start growing back in to soften the look.  

I alternate my 3 weekly wash days between the kure bond repair shampoo and conditioner (2x) & bust your brass cool blonde repair shampoo and conditioner (1x) in order to keep my tone fresh, but not overdoing it on the purple. I also alternate my treatments, so 2-3x a week I complete my wash with the kure multi-task repair treatment and 1x per week I pick up a hair mask… either soulfood nourishing mask or bust your brass cool blonde intense repair mask. I have to keep a treatment with each wash, otherwise I’m dealing with tangles galore.
