Sand color: How to maintain a soft, sunlit blonde
When it comes to blonde shades, sand is the ultimate blend of elegance and versatility. It strikes a balance between warm golden hues and cooler beige undertones, creating a natural, sun-kissed look that complements a variety of skin tones. Whether you’re looking for subtle sophistication or a bright refresh, achieving and maintaining sand tones requires a thoughtful approach. Here’s how you can make it happen.
Understanding sand hair color
Sand hair color is a neutral blonde that leans neither too warm nor too cool, making it universally flattering. Think of soft, windswept beaches or the lightest touch of beige with a golden glow. It’s a shade that adds dimension and shine while keeping your look effortlessly natural.
This color is particularly well-suited for blonde hair levels 7–10, where the lighter base allows the sand tones to truly shine. On darker hair, the results may be less visible, so consulting a professional stylist before committing is always a good idea if you’re starting from a darker base.
Colour Refresh in Sand
Maria Nila’s Colour Refresh in Sand is a nourishing masque infused with semi-permanent pigments that deposit soft, sandy tones onto blonde hair. The argan oil-enriched formula hydrates and reduces frizz, leaving hair silky and shiny. Perfect for refreshing salon color or experimenting with new shades, it blends seamlessly and lasts 4–10 washes.
Maintaining sand tones for lasting brilliance
Once you’ve achieved the perfect sand color, keeping it fresh and vibrant is key. Follow these tips to prolong your look:
- Gentle washing: Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to protect your color from fading. Maria Nila’s Color Care range is specifically designed to preserve and enhance color-treated hair.
- Regular refreshes: Reapply Colour Refresh Sand to maintain the intensity of your sandy tones. The nourishing formula will not only boost your color but also keep your hair hydrated and shiny.
- Shield from damage: Sand tones can dull when exposed to excessive heat or UV rays. Use heat protectants before styling and consider a UV-protective spray if you’re spending time in the sun.
- Hydrate and repair: Keep your hair healthy with deep-conditioning treatments. Look for products that restore moisture and repair damage to ensure your sandy color looks soft and luminous.
