Do blondes really have more fun? With gorgeous, hair-flippin’ locks, we say yes! But getting that coveted honey glow isn’t always easy with your natural hair. Blonde is a versatile, bright color with various shades and tints — from red-tinted strawberry blonde to rich, creamy caramel blonde.

Chances are, you’re not washing your hair correctly, and it’s not your fault. There’s a canon of faulty information circulating online about hair care, but most of it isn’t rooted in science or research. The right way to wash your hair is multifaceted.
