Available now from zitsticka.
Highly awarded hairdresser and founder of The Hair Boss, Lisa Shepherd is known for her blonde hair. She is very passionate about achieving and maintaining your perfect shade – whether this is barbie blonde or warm honey. She recommends avoiding overuse of purple shampoo as this can dull the blonde by adding an icy tone. The Hair Boss Blonde Brightener (£9.99) is a weekly fix that helps illuminate the hair. The detoxifying formula helps to remove metal and mineral deposits that can distort lighter tones, meaning blonde can be dramatically brighter in just 20 minutes without using bleach. The Hair Boss Double Hair Mask (£19.99) helps to lock in moisture in the hair and re-form broken bonds. As UV rays can lift your hair and dry it out, use 1-2 times a week during the summer to achieve strong, healthy hair at home. Both available now from superdrug.
