Highlights + Hair Colour
This was the very first kit I purchased when 'balayage' became a thing over a decade ago, and it's remained a staple for me ever since. I've never experienced trouble lightening my hair with this product, and it's very simple to use. I rotate between...
Schwarzkopf Nordic Blonde Lightener
Love this product for when I want a global colour application. It's a semi-permanent colour and lasts up to 28 washes, which I much prefer to a permanent colour. It only takes 20 minutes to apply too so it's quick and easy. I typically do a root appl...
L'Oréal Paris Casting Creme Gloss
A recent but game-changing discovery! The Clairol root touch-up range is so great for quickly (and I mean literally pre-shower application quickly) blending away those dusty roots. The colour seamlessly blends into your existing, grown out shade, and...
Clairol Nice 'N Easy Permanent Root Touch-Up
This is a good bleach kit for those who want a subtle lightening effect. It lifts only 5 levels and is very low, slow and gentle on the hair. If you're dipping your toes into DIY bleach/balayage/highlights, this is a great product to start with.
Clairol Blonde It Up
I've dyed my hair blue, pink, purple, red, rose gold and mulberry. This is what I used. The Pastel range is great for adding a tint to highlighted hair, whereas the Brights will give you that fun, punchy colour. They also have a range of natural colo...
Schwarzkopf Live Colour
Toning
I always have multiple tubs of Baby Blonde and Golden Blonde Shade Variation Masks stocked in my bathroom. These hair masks are so nourishing and feel like soft butter (in the best way) when applied. They can be left on the hair for up to 20 minutes ...
Christophe Robin Shade Variation Mask
Toning in a tube! One of the simplest products to use that lets you customise your toning result. I use the shade Cali Cali to add a creamy tone to my blonde highlights. It can be hard finding toning products that aren't just purple for blonde hair, ...
IGK Color Depositing Hair Mask
The best for blondes. This stuff is PURPLE purple and really does a great job at kicking any brassiness in your hair. The product as a shampoo gives a great cleanse too and I notice my hair seems to grow quicker when using it.
Fudge Professional Clean Blonde Purple Toning Shampoo
My favourite brush for applying a toning hair mask and ensuring an even colour result. No pulling and glides right through the hair!
Tangle Teezer Wet Detangler
Hair Tools + Heat Styling
My go-to hair tool! I get compliments almost every time I use this styler. The lock system converts it from a straightener to a curler making it a versatile tool depending on how you like to wave your hair. The plasma ion technology adds hydration to...
VS Sassoon Hydro Smooth Straight & Curl
10/10 hair serum. I use this to prep/protect my hair before heat styling and after to add a layer of shine and settle any frizz.
Static Free DJ Shine Serum
Great scent and holds your hairstyle without any stickiness or crunchy feeling. No residue or flakiness either.
