### 🔥 If you use a hairdryer/straighteners

ghd Bodyguard Heat Protect Spray is my first choice. British Vogue's 2026 testing guide rates it highly for thermal protection and says it's suitable for all hair types. www.vogue.co.uk

For a glossy blow-dry, Color Wow Dream Coat is particularly good; it needs to be activated with a blow-dryer and tension/brush to achieve its smoothing effect. www.vogue.co.uk

For damaged, coloured or frizzy hair, Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil is another strong option and also provides heat protection. www.vogue.co.uk

### 💷 My shortlist by hair type

| Hair / style | Product I'd choose | |---|---| | Fine, short hair | Fudge Matte Hed Extra | | Thick, short hair | Slick Gorilla Clay Pomade | | Textured/messy style | Hanz de Fuko Claymation | | Natural, medium/long hair | Moroccanoil Styling Cream | | Frizzy hair | Color Wow Dream Coat | | Heat styling | ghd Bodyguard | | Damaged/coloured hair | Olaplex No.7 | | Slick/shiny style | American Crew Cream Pomade |

If you tell me your hair length + whether it's straight, wavy or curly + the style you want (e.g. messy textured, curtains, slick back, quiff, fluffy/voluminous), I can narrow this down to the 3 best products for you, including the best budget option.

For most blonde hair in Britain, Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Ultra-Violet is the best premium choice: it neutralises yellow tones while helping protect bleached hair.

Good alternatives:

- Best overall purple shampoo: Olaplex No.4P Blonde Enhancer-strong toning and suitable for highlighted or bleached hair. - Best budget: Pro:Voke Touch of Silver-around £3 and effective for occasional brassiness. - Best for frequent use: Fudge Clean Blonde Damage Rewind-gentler toning designed for more regular use. - Best for dry or damaged hair: Redken Color Extend Blondage, which combines blonde toning with colour-care benefits. - Best non-purple brightening shampoo: John Frieda Sheer Blonde Brightening Shampoo, especially for natural or highlighted blonde hair.

Use purple shampoo once weekly to start, leave it on only as directed, and alternate with a moisturising shampoo. Overuse can make blonde hair look dull, grey, or slightly violet.
