For me, having faux blonde hair and soft, glossy strands were mutually exclusive. No matter how much conditioner I used or heat I avoided, my lengths always looked dry and frizzy. I'd all but lost hope of ever really achieving ultra-silky ends until a certain leave-in shine spray entered the equation.
Now, don't get it twisted. Having shiny blonde hair is, of course, possible, but in my case, it has been more elusive than expected. While I love my blonde, highlighted strands, intensive colour treatments (even with four to five-month breaks in between) come with a price - and not just a monetary one. My hair is fairly damaged, and when you combine that with my penchant for bouncy blowouts - via the best hot brushes - breakages ensue and crown my head in a halo of frizz. Thus, I often turn to hydrating products in a bid to mask and illuminate my struggling strands, and as of this year, I may have found my favourite yet.
