But don’t worry, book that appointment in because we’ve rounded up the best masks for bleached hair to boost you back to your radiant locks, your hairdresser will be loving you for it!
The best hair masks for bleached hair
Eleven Australia Miracle Hair Treatment
Eleven truly aren’t exaggerating calling this one a miracle treatment. It boosts shine, controls frizz and works to enhance our hair’s natural body (is there anything it can’t do?!). It also has ingredients to ensure our damaged hair is repaired, it strengthens fragile hair (goodbye split ends) and protects against heat damage. And most importantly, for the sake of our dyed hair, it protects the vibrancy of the colour, and keeps our hair hydrated! With its incredible coconut smell as a stunning bonus, your hair will be calling out for a tropical vacay.

What’s your best post salon hair care tip?
Toni & Guy products are great. Haven’t tried the others above.
Yes I find them to be good quality too – but not their hairtools – I find them a bit hit and miss
I love to use a mask in my hair once a week and also apply hair oils or leave in creams to my lengths and ends which really does help and I definitely notice the difference when I don’t put anything in my hair after washing.
I have never used a mask on my hair. Does it work and help to improve ones hair?
Ola3 works for processed hair, liked aslo t&g purple mask.
Not something that I use. I’d probably make up my own if I felt so inclined
Interesting. I’ve never used a mask on my hair as I haven’t felt I needed one.
I’m a fan of Olaplex.
I’ve never tried it but heard a lot about it
