Shampoos – Invest in a purple or silver shampoo that is designed specifically to maintain and protect color. Most are not overly clarifying and are sulfate free to help prevent dryness.

Conditioners – Most shampoos will have their conditioner partners so it makes sense to have one compliment the other. Keep in mind that bleaching is very drying and a good quality conditioner is a must. Gently combing through with a wide tooth comb will carry the product thoroughly through the hair.

Masks – Regular use of a hair mask is a great way to boost condition and fight damage caused through chemical processing.   If your hair needs a pick-me-up then a mask is the go to product to keep problems at bay.
