The slogans? Shine and care. Whatever their shade, blond hair, sensitized and abused by repeated coloring, requires special attention with specific care. They must be full of nutrients in order to deeply regenerate the hair fiber. To do this, apply generously once a week a repairing mask that is left on for several minutes. Its nourishing action closes the scales and protects the hair from external aggressions (hair dryer, straightening iron, temperature changes, friction…). Thus, the hair is smooth and shiny, without frizz and without split ends.
