How to avoid brassiness in blond hair

Over and over again at the salon, I hear the same topic, which tells me that it's very important to many of my clients.  They want to know how to avoid brassiness in blond hair.  When I see a first time client, and they have brassy blond, the following things are often the reason: Water- If you don't have a water filter on your shower head, you may develop brassiness over time.Poor choice of aftercare products- If you are using inferior products (and you know that 50 percent of you are.......they will strip your hair color and turn the most beautiful blondes brassy)An all over base color which is much lighter than your natural root color.  A base color always creates warmth as you lighten it.  The rule?  The higher you lift the base, the more warmth you'll see.Highlights weren't lifted blonde enough, or the product chosen to highlight was strong enough to lift past the warmth.These are the most common reasons that I see over and over, and are some of the things to look for when trying to figure out how to avoid brassiness in blonde hair.  I've added a picture of a blonde client who came to me with very brassy hair due to the fact that the base color that was being used on her was simply too light, and was creating unwanted warmth.  I used a slightly darker base color and created her lightness using highlights.  To book an appointment at Megan Graham Beauty please call 617.236.8100 or book online by going to: www.megangrahambeauty.com
