Calling all stylists! Lightened hair is one of the most common client goals, and it can be difficult to achieve and maintain — especially cool blonde tones and especially over the winter. With less sun and time outdoors, it’s important for stylists to find high-quality products that bring results both you and your client can get behind. Finding the right fit can be especially difficult for sustainable salons and those looking for eco-friendly products that tackle and dye job just as well as their chemically-filled counterparts. And with so many products breaking the bank, finding a sustainable option that delivers and maintains consistent, high-quality hair color can feel nearly impossible. Luckily, we’ve found Charcool, a brand that uses all-natural nutrients to lighten and maintain blonde hair color and beat brass while locking in moisture and shine. And when your clients are looking for more, send them home with our favorite at-home upkeep treatments from Fekkai. Check these brands out, take notes, and be sure to include them on your next salon order.

Beyond Blonde Lightening Powder uses vegetable activated charcoal to fight brassy tones and eliminate hints of residual red, orange, and yellow that can be difficult to maintain with lightened hair.

Anti-brass shampoo is crucial for maintaining lightened hair, ensuring that lightening treatment is incorporated into every step of your haircare routine.
