First and foremost we have to start with how to maintain your blonde hair and keep that blonde looking healthy and not dry.
I’ve been working with Lacy from The Salty Mane for years now and she has always given me all the tips to keep my blonde looking the color of blonde I want.
Here are 7 of the best tips to keeping your blonde hair blonde!
✨Make sure you have a stylist who doesn’t overlap highlights
✨If you go swimming in a pool you don’t know- do NOT get your hair wet!
✨If it is a pool you know, put conditioner in first
✨Use a good moisturizing hair mask after getting in the ocean
✨Keep hair away from sunscreen
✨LIMIT HEAT
✨Always use a heat protectant
The limiting of heat is what I always struggled with because as many of you know I love having big curls in my hair. Recently I’ve been on a long journey of testing out sooo many heatless curl hairstyles and let me tell you, it’s been….. interesting. It started like this:
@happilyhughes That was a fail 😳 #heatlesscurls
Then of course, my daughter wanted me to do heatless curls with her so we tried it a slightly different way and hers turned out stunning (of course) and mine, not so good.

The tips and tricks that I learned throughout my trial and error with heatless curls are this
✨it needs to be 90% dry, not 80%…not 100%!!
✨loop your curls HIGH, this is going to help with the volume
✨wrap the ends of your hair around the large part of the curl so they stay as big curls
✨tuck the heatless wire behind your head so its not sticking out and bothering you
Even though the curls are heatless and have less damage for the hair I still make sure that I’m using high quality hair products
