Featuring Joico Celebrity Artist, Jill Buck, of Salon 901
Want to maintain that perfect shade of blonde long after the salon visit? Joico Celebrity Artist, Jill Buck of Salon Nine Zero One, has created a super-handy cheat sheet after-care plan for every single blonde in the book. “It’s so, so important to educate clients on how to maintain their professional color at home,” says Jill, who explains how the right shampoo can tweak and refine a blonde look, helping it go the long haul without changing tone.
For every day: Blonde Life Brightening Shampoo
“This is the shampoo I send every client home with right after a fresh, blonde highlight,” says Jill. “It keeps your blonde nice and bright – and immediately after it’s been perfectly toned, you want to avoid mixing in any purples or dyes.”
The facts: This brass-neutralizing, sulfate-free cleanser keeps away unwanted yellow tones, while powerful ingredients fight frizz, add hydration, and take a gentle hand with fragile, highlighted strands.
Once a week for neutral and warm blondes: Blonde Life Violet Shampoo
“Clients who want to keep their neutral blonde bright – or even a touch on the warmer side – should go with this “mellow” purple-toned cleanser. NOTE: Jill advises waiting for two weeks after a blonde service to start using Blonde Life Violet; tones are still perfect and salon-fresh during that initial stretch.
The facts: This sulfate-free shampoo is stocked with an exotic blend of rich Tamanu and Manoi oils to fight frizz, banish brass, and rehydrate hair, while strategically counter-balancing yellow tones that can creep into highlighted blondes.
Once a week (and at the salon) for cool blondes: Color Balance Purple Shampoo
“Think of this shampoo as a treatment,” says Jill, who explains that the higher dye load of purple makes it perfect for clients who love that ash-blonde look or platinum hair color. “I even use Color Balance Purple at the backbar for pre-toning my blondes.”
The facts: It doesn’t just work for blondes; Color Balance Purple is also the perfect strategy for cooling down platinum, silver, ombré, and balayage looks. The unique formula color corrects, while it shields hair from the elements, boosting shine and strength; green tea extract, UV absorbers, and antioxidants repair, protect, and strengthen hair.
Every few days for all blondes: K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock Instant Shine & Repair Treatment
“Any time I’m sending a fresh blonde home, I make sure they take Luster Lock to enhance shine, and protect their color from heat styling and the sun,” says Jill. “K-PAK is one of my go-to products – and even though it’s a treatment that’s not meant to be used daily, many people only wash their hair every two, three, or four days. It becomes the perfect after-shampoo step.
The facts: Known as the “secret to lust-worthy locks,” this deep-repairing miracle hair treatment unlocks out-of-this-world color vibrancy and a dazzling, mirror-like shine that will have you touching your hair in amazement. Stocked with nourishing African Manketti and Argan oils, strands become 9X stronger and visibly healthier-looking.
