26 Hair Essentials Every Blond Babe Needs to Own

I'm a level six on the hair-color wheel - the darkest blond you can get without actually being brunette. That means I spend more time than I care to admit harassing my colorist about how to safely lift my color to the lightest blond possible. (Although, I definitely push the bleaching rules when it comes to getting the perfect shade.)

My hair tends to have a warm undertone, so keeping it on the cooler side means using products that will keep my hue bright and vibrant but also restore the health of my hair. And, with maintenance necessary every six to eight weeks, it also means making sure the integrity of my hair stays intact.

Given the fact that I test products for both work and personal use, I decided to share some of my favorites. Whether you're looking for a sulfate-free option, SPF for your mane, or a brightening product, there's something for everyone - from the platinum daredevils to those with soft highlights.

Want to suggest a product for me to test? Email me at kjohnson@popsugar.com. I'll be updating the gallery with more products as I go through them.
