Winter or summer weather has a tendency to zap all the moisture out of all our hair locks. Hair tends to become dry and dull, causing colour to fade, making strands lacklustre and hard to style. Blonde hair, especially chemically processed blonde hair suffers more than others. So can you put the shine back into blonde hair without visiting a salon?
Processed blonde hair can look dull
When blonde hair – especially highlighted blonde hair – gets dry and beaten down, it starts to look dull, brassy, and warm. So when it comes to keeping your blonde tresses glistening all season long, you may find yourself visiting the hair dresser one time too many, or having to invest in salon products only to tame the brass.
Yes, you need to go purple…
We were curious to see whether a home based product could brighten up blonde locks. So we tried out the PRO:VOKE range cruelty-free Touch of Silver Colour Care and Brightening products (suitable for vegans too).
The brand promise
The brand promise is that the shampoo and conditioner helps to remove brassy tones, brighten blondes, and illuminate hair, giving you all the hair colour confidence you need!

The Longevity verdict
We asked some blonde friends and colleagues to pass the products around and give it a try. At first some were concerned that their hair would retain a purple blue sheen. However, with this product, there’s no purple effect. The end result all round was a shiny and brightening effect. We got positive feedback, especially from those who get overly brassy. The range offers woman a salon style product at a very affordable price. So yes! We would recommend it for those blondes who are looking for affordable blonde hair home maintenance.
