Best Shampoo, Conditioner & Hair Care for Blondes

​
What I use to keep my blonde locks healthy, soft, and vibrant

​

As a lifelong blonde (okay, with some help from my colorist), I’ve spent so much time experimenting with hair care. Between toning brassy hair, preventing dryness, and protecting from heat styling, blonde hair requires a little extra TLC. Whether you’re a natural blonde, rocking blonde hair dye, or somewhere in between, finding the best products for your hair type can feel like a full-time job.

But good news: I’ve finally curated a routine that keeps my blonde hair looking bright, feeling soft, and staying healthy—all without a million salon visits. If you’re searching for the best shampoo, nourishing treatments, or tools that won’t cause future damage, this post is for you.

Let’s get into the exact blonde hair care products I use and love!

I found Prose while searching for a blonde-safe shampoo that didn’t leave my hair feeling like hay. You fill out a super in-depth quiz (yes, it even asks for your zip code to factor in your local water quality), and boom—they send you a custom formula designed for your exact hair type and goals.

Mine? Color-treated, fine, straight, and gets oily by day two. Since switching, my hair feels way softer and stays vibrant longer.

I paired my custom shampoo with the Prose conditioner, which was formulated to boost moisture without weighing my hair down. If you’ve ever tried a deep conditioner that left your fine hair looking flat by the end of the day, you know the struggle. This one hydrates, detangles, and strengthens with plant-based oils, all without messing with my moisture balance.

Plus, it helps protect the hair shaft from environmental damage and styling tools, which is key for those of us using flat irons or curling tools regularly.

This is my go-to product after washing—especially when my hair is towel-dried but still damp. Just a few sprays and I can glide my Wetbrush through my hair with zero breakage. It smells like a fancy salon and helps seal in moisture while protecting from my curling iron.

And honestly, my blonde hair looks shinier and feels silkier every time I use it. It also helps with frizz (blonde hair tends to be prone to that!), so it’s perfect for wavy hair and curly hair too.

This one was a total surprise hit for me. I originally bought it because I’d been dealing with buildup from dry shampoo (even the good ones can cause some congestion if you don’t cleanse regularly). DIVI’s Scalp Serum calms irritation, supports growth, and even made my hair feel fuller.

If you’re using dry shampoo regularly or have a sensitive scalp from coloring, this is one of the best products to incorporate. I noticed a difference within a single day of using it after wash day.

This lightweight mist is perfect for dry hair or damp hair, especially when I don’t want to style but still want to look polished. I spray it mid-length to ends before blow-drying, but it’s also great for refreshing hair between washes.

Love that it works for coloured hair and helps protect against heat styling damage. If you deal with frizzy blonde tones, this one’s a keeper.

This Bondi Boost treatment is magic. It’s like Olaplex meets hydration. I use it once or twice a week on damp hair, focusing on the ends. It repairs bonds broken by coloring and heat and leaves my hair super soft without weighing it down.

It’s a great nourishing hair mask option for blondes who need both protein and moisture. Plus, it helps prevent future damage, so you don’t have to sacrifice your hair’s health for good hair colour.

This brush is a lifesaver, especially for fine hair that tangles easily. It’s super gentle and glides through knots without pulling. I always use it after applying the Davines spray or my leave-in mask to avoid breakage.

Definitely one of the best products for preventing mechanical damage—especially important for blonde hair treatments where hair is more delicate post-color.

Ceramic = better for your hair shaft. I love this CHI flat iron because it heats evenly, doesn’t snag my strands, and makes long-lasting curls that don’t frizz out. Whether I’m straightening or curling, it gives me that smooth, polished finish that makes my blonde hair look fresh from the salon.

It’s also a great size for doing waves or quick weaves, if that’s your thing.

Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo in Original Scent
Why I love it: No better dry shampoo that actually absorbs oil and extends your blowouts!

Okay, I’ve tried every dry shampoo under the sun, and this is the only one that makes my hair feel clean without that weird chalky residue. It also smells amazing—like you just left a Drybar appointment.

I try not to overdo it (because of scalp buildup), but when I need to stretch my style, this is it. It really helps keep your beautiful blonde hair looking fresh longer, especially when you’re trying to avoid overwashing and fading.
