My new hightlights look dull?

Question

I got my hair rehightlighted blonde last week at the hairdressers but my hair doesnt look shiny anymore. Why is this?

My hair looked perfectly shiny til they redid it!

I use a salon L'oreal professionel dry hair shampoo, conditioner and treatments.

Answer 1

shine spray, blonde highlights are prone to making your hair dry, its down to the bleach, its not really good for the hair...... Get some shine mist to spray on after you have styled it, and use a goo conditioner that is for highlighted hair....

Answer 2

it will look dull for a couple of weeks because bleach kills the hair which makes it dry and dull you have to keep using alot of conditioner to get it back into condition. try some blonding shampoo by fudge it worked for me. also use some spray for blow drying and straightnening it will stop your hair from drying out and should put a litttle shine to it
good luck xx

i went blonder and my hairdresser told me to use this l'oreal professionnel shampoo. its called "Silver Gloss protect system" and comes in a silver/grey bottle and the shampoo is bright purple! she told me to use it a could of times a week before i use my normal shampoo as blonde hair gets dull because of pollutants, smoke etc..
Ive used it now for a while and it really keeps them bright and when my boyfriend tried it on his highlights, he noticed a big difference! its about £6.95 i think but as you only use it a couple of times a week it lasts for ages :0) also use a good shampoo and conditioner like the keratase bain de force range - that makes a big difference to the quality of ure hair!

Answer 4

Getting highlights is a chemical process which requires additional care. Try a hot oil treatment, leave in conditioner, or a clear rinse. Talk to your hair stylist about any of these treatments.

Answer 5

because of the bleach used in the dye it drys your hair out and strips the oils try using a little more conditioner in the end of your hair and leaving it in for a couple of minutes before washing it out

Answer 6

The bleach drys out your hair thats why it's not shiny.Use a serum on your hair,that will make it shiny.

Answer 7

try using john frieda's highlighter inhancing shampoos and conditioners for blondes it works i use it all the time and mine look fresh and i can keep my time between salons down to a few months.

Answer 8

well i found that it all depends on the shampoo you are using. i use a shampoo for colored hair...this will prevent the color from becoming dull or fading out. you should try it. most brands of shampoo have atleast one model for this kind of use

Answer 9

Too many products. Use a clarifying shampoo or mix baking powder with some of your normal shampoo.

Answer 10

i really good product for making the hair shiny again is ghd reflection spray. its quite expensive but well worth it. you can use it on wet hair as well, it makes any nots and tangles you have really easy to brush through.
