For those who have highlights or blonde what do you use to keep it healthy?

Question

My hairstylist recommended for me to use this brand I guess they’re by numbers and she said i need to use 3 different bottles of course they’re each different

Does anybody know of a more affordable items I can use for my hair? Maybe something at SALLYS 
The only thing I use is the purple shampoo and conditioner but my hair is very dry and damage. With what she told me I would spend around $60+ and I feel that’s a lot for me since I have babies to take care of. So if I can find something that can work for a less of a price let me know please. 
Also idk if I should just touch up my highlights/blonde hair or dye like a nice brown because having blonde hair it damages your hair a lot plus the cost of having to maintain it healthy with expensive products  😫 ugh idk

I wanted to change my hair to something like this? More of brown tones
Instead of touching up blonde

Answer

Olaplex is the best. Dont cheap out on hair products. Protect your investment

Answer

My hair stylist told me to use wella shampoo and conditioner and the purple shampoo only every 2 weeks. Wella is sold at Ulta and you get points for buying it. The shampoo is 40 dlls but it’s a huge bottle so it last a long time. Here’s a pic of my hair. My hair is super healthy and feels soft.

Answer

Well the purple shampoo just keeps it from going brassy looking (I'm a "retired" stylist, I spent ten years doing hair and still keep my license active) there is reconstructive bonds in the Olaplex which helps your hair from breakage or from being over porous making the hair when wet extra very elastic like bubble gum but when dry very brittle and prone to breakage. You could always try the It's A Ten Miracle spray leave in conditioner, or the It's A Ten Miracle Hair Mask.. also Paul Mitchell has a line of products for blondes and I'd suggest any of the conditioners/masks. 
You can also talk to the women at Sally's and ask for a recommendation that is like Olaplex as they have a lot of generic brand products there that are technically like the real products.

Answer

If you’re lifting or coloring your hair, Olaplex is the best, because it really does actually rebuild the bonds of your hair that break up during the dyeing processes. Olaplex is patented, so there really is no other product out there that will work the way it does. They are just conditioners. The investment is worth it if you want to do anything to your hair as it is basically like gold. It’s not a conditioner because it specifically only works in rebuilding the bonds, so you may or may not notice a huge difference in softness, depending on how damaged the hair is. I would at least just buy No. 3 if you can’t buy No. 4, No. 5, and 6, because it will still make a difference. Those ones are a shampoo, conditioner, and a leave in. Also, if you find that your hair is lacking protein, which can be lost from dyeing hair, a good product to use is Aphogee Two Step Protein Treatment from Sally Beauty. You can buy a one time use pack that is pretty inexpensive. 
I have very light blonde that I touch up once a month. I use Olaplex No. 3 about once a week after until I don’t need to anymore. I use a good salon quality moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, and I use pure Argan Oil as a leave in to make it soft, and I do a weekly deep conditioning treatment with It’s a 10 Miracle Hair Mask.

Answer

I used that back when my hair was very dry from constant dying and it worked wonders. It’s expensive but worth it for me

Answer

My hairdresser has me use this once a week, along with the conditioner that has nutrition to make my hair stay healthy.

Answer

Yes, being blonde does require a lot of money and maintaince so if you cant afford it being a brunette is also a wonderful choice. Olaplex is expensive but it's amazing if you put your hair through a lot of abuse. I took my sisters hair from a silver to a brown back to blonde again and I know I could never, would never, do that if she didnt use the olaplex 3 at home first. It really helped it from turning into spaghetti second time around.

Answer

I never liked olaplex tbh... I started taking Sugar Bear Hair vitamins and kept heat off my hair and this is my hair growth of 7 months. Prior to the first picture my hair was STUCK at that length for I’m not kidding A YEAR AND A HALF. In between these two pictures I got my hair trimmed twice. Its never grown this fast! I went from having hair that barely went past my armpits to hair that touched my butt within half a year. 
I use all matrix shampoo and conditioners... they work best for me. And Matrix Brass Off once a week as well to keep it ashy toned.

Answer

My hair is long and pretty much silver/ white and i use olaplex once a week. I also only wash it once a week and never use heat on it. If you’re going to bleach - it is expensive to maintain and you do need to take care of your hair.

Answer

I use black hair dye to keep my blonde hair healthy
