Lightened hair means some drop dead gorgeous looks—but it also means some serious TLC to keep you looking your best. Here’s a guide to keeping your lightened hair strong and damage-free!

Lightened hair tends to get dry quickly, so keeping it hydrated is key.
A deep conditioner or leave-in conditioner treatment is your best friend to lock in moisture and prevent damage at the start.
For the daily boost of hydration, we recommend using the combination of Bassu Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner by Surface.
It’s a blend of organic Babassu Seed Oil and Moringa Oil, which naturally moisturizes and adds shine without weighing your hair down. It’s sulfate-free, so you’re getting pure moisture without harsh chemicals that can further damage hair.
Get Regular Trims to Stop Split Ends
Trimming your hair every 6-8 weeks is crucial to stop split ends from spreading and causing more damage.
Even if you’re trying to grow your hair out, a small trim will keep it healthy and looking fresh.
Limit the Heat
We know you love your hot tools, but they can be a big contributor to hair damage. If you must use them, always apply a heat protectant.

For a protectant, the Surface Bassu Moisture Mist is a fantastic choice because it not only shields your hair from heat but also adds a lightweight layer of hydration.
Unlike other heat protectants, this mist uses botanical ingredients that protect your hair while nourishing it, ensuring your style looks great without compromising hair health.
Protein Power for Strong Strands
Bleached hair needs protein to stay strong and reduce breakage. Regular protein treatments can help rebuild your hair’s internal structure.
The Trinity Protein Repair Tonic from Surface is a standout choice because it works to strengthen hair from the inside out using a blend of natural proteins.
This product targets the weakest areas of your hair, filling in gaps, and restoring elasticity, giving your hair a much-needed boost of resilience.
Sleep on a Silk Pillowcase
A silk or satin pillowcase can reduce friction on your hair while you sleep, helping to prevent tangles and breakage.
It’s a simple switch that can make a big difference in keeping your lightened locks smooth.
With these tips and the right Surface Hair products in your routine, keeping your lightened hair healthy is easier than ever.
Remember, consistent care is the secret to hair that’s not just beautiful but strong and resilient. Let’s keep those blonde locks shining!
