MODERN SALON 100 alum and Artist Connective member Shonda Harvey-Gayle(@shondasharee_) loves when a good blonde gets even better at the shampoo bowl. To accomplish this, she relies on Schwarzkopf Professional’s BLONDME Bond Repair line, the perfect haircare steps to complement beautiful blondes. Not only can you find toning power and gentle cleansing in this line, but it also helps protect healthy hair from environmental pollutants and keeps it looking healthy from the inside.
See all the ways in which Harvey-Gayle likes to use BLONDME Bond Repair products to give her clients their best blondes.
This one-two combo is Harvey-Gayle’s ultimate secret sauce for pre-toning: BLONDME Bond Repair Purple Shampoo and Nourishing Shampoo. The purple shampoo lays the groundwork for the perfect blonde tone, eliminating any brassiness, while the nourishing shampoo provides a thorough cleanliness, all without compromising the hair strands.
Harvey-Gayle loves BLONDME Bond Repair Nourishing Shampoo for its ability to cleanse gently, including after lightening and coloring her clients’ wigs and extensions. Nothing is stripped from the hair; the integrity of the hair is protected, and the result is big-time shine and softness.
Sometimes a client comes in just wanting to restore their blonde's original brightness. With the power of BLONDME Bond Repair Brightening Shampoo, it couldn’t be easier. Check out the difference in Harvey-Gayle’s client, whose blonde strands look fresh and new. BLONDME Bondfinity Repair Oil is the final step for added insurance against damage and dullness.
