Though the 5 masks are individual, they can also be combined. Just like your skin needs to be treated with different products depending on the area, the scalp, lengths and ends of your hair have different needs.

At Shine we have created 4 multi-mask experiences to satisfy most of our clientele hair needs;
1. Shine on: To give extra shine while cleansing the scalp and restoring vitality to the ends.

What Are The Benefits of Having Blonde Hair?
We love all hair colours here at our salon in Stoke Newington but as we’re talking about blondes, here are just a few reasons you might want to join the blonde brigade! Blonde is somehow innocent and sexy at the same time. Blonde is feminine but can also have a ‘surfer dude’ quality about it. Fun pastel colours or hair chalks really show up well on blonde hair. Blonde is a real head-turning hair colour. Marilyn Monroe. Cameron Diaz. Brigitte Bardot. Need we go on…?
Are There Any Disadvantages To Having Blonde Hair?
If you opt for an all-over new hair colour, you will need to pop into the salon to have your root regrowth touched up every eight weeks or so. Highlights are much less obvious and you can have a T-section cover-up every eight weeks or so. Balayage is even lower maintenance and you may not need to pop into the salon for even longer. Having said that, we reckon you’ll want to come in for a toner or glossing treatment to boost your colour – and we all love a spot of pampering at Shine, don’t we?
Why Should I Use A Purple Shampoo?
You can also prolong the life of your blonde hair colour by using the right hair care products. Professional colour-enhancing or colour-safe shampoos and conditioners are a must if you want to stop your blonde shade from looking washed out or brassy. You can showcase the beauty of grey, white or light blonde hair with a clarifying purple shampoo which has a neutralising effect to get rid of unwanted brassy tones. When hair is lightened or turns grey, its natural warm tones become visible which can look yellow. A deep purple shampoo can also nourish and protect the hair and give a welcome boost of shine.
Which Products Do You Recommend for Blonde Hair?
We highly recommend alternating between;
Natural blonde hair – MELU shampoo and condioner as those lentil seeds extract based products will prevent breakage and at the same time will give silkiness and light to the hair.
Treated or coloured blond hair – NOUNOU shampoo, conditioner and mask. Its Tomato extract is obtained from the pulp which is extremely rich in proteins anti oxidants with a strong nourishing properties, perfect for bleached, highlighted hair. Ask your stylist for more information.
How Do I Remove Brassy Tones From My Blonde Hair?
A toner is a great tool for neutralising unwanted yellow or brassy tones from blonde hair. Just like a purple or violet-toned shampoo, a toner can neutralise the brassy shades, while also adding shine to your hair.
Do You Offer Colour Correction Services?
If you’ve had a hair colour disaster with an at-home hair dye kit, we can help correct your hair colour. Book in as soon as possible for a consultation so we can assess your hair and work on a plan to get it looking healthy and a beautiful colour once again.
