Maintaining the fun and radiant glow of dyed blonde or highlighted hair can take a little extra care. Over time, brassy tones can sneak in, dulling your shine and dampening your spirits. What’s more, purple shampoos, also called blue shampoo in some cases, the go-to home solution for many, can strip the natural oils from your hair, leaving your curls looking lacklustre. And we can’t have that!  Fear not. It’s never been easier to tone brassy hair at home and Bouclème has the perfect solution to keep your colour looking salon-fresh and your locks beautifully nourished.  But first, l ..read more

Are your straight, frizzy locks actually waves in disguise? For many of us, wavy hair remains an undiscovered treasure, hidden beneath years of incorrect styling. Unlike defined curls, waves fall somewhere between sleek and spiralled, with a soft, natural bend that often goes unnoticed until the right techniques bring them to life.  Depending on your hair’s thickness and wave pattern, your waves can range from barely there to full-on bouncy beach waves, so mastering the art of caring for and styling woke-up-like-this wavy hair can be as intricate as it is rewarding.  At Bouclème ..read more

Few things are as satisfying as a rich lather while shampooing or the squeaky-clean feeling that follows. But did you know this foam is thanks to sulphates, powerful detergents that create that familiar froth? Here’s the catch: while it may feel refreshing, frequent use of sulphates can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry, brittle and prone to frizz.   As the world of haircare evolves, there’s been a growing shift in how we think about shampoo ingredients. Once seen as essential, sulphates and parabens – chemicals used to keep cosmetics fresher for longer – are now being r ..read more

When the temperature ramps up over the summer months, or when the sun finally makes an appearance in the UK (where the Bouclème team is based), we’re usually on the ball with sunscreen for our skin.  But what about sun protection for hair? It’s easy to forget about our tresses, but many of us are struggling with parched, brittle hair by the end of the summer.  UV rays can leave curly hair dehydrated and frizzed and bleached or coloured hair muted. And if you’ve spent time, effort and £££ on your locks, you certainly don’t want the sun to reduce them to a dried-out, faded mass of sp ..read more

Do you find your curls tangle easily or become frizzy the second there’s a hint of moisture in the air? Is your hair dry, brittle, and prone to snapping? Does it become wet quickly in the shower but is equally fast to dry? If this is you, don’t worry, you’re not alone. It’s likely you have high porosity hair.   Unlike low porosity hair, high porosity hair has a very loose outermost layer that absorbs water fast. And often, this open, porous hair structure also struggles to retain moisture.      As ever, knowledge is power and we’re here for you.  Welc ..read more

Do your curls always feel dry, no matter how much moisture you treat it to? Does your hair take forever to get wet and then dry again? Does your hair feel lank and weighed down, unable to absorb even the tiniest amount of product?  If you’re mentally saying ‘check, check, check’ to all these challenges, you might have low porosity hair. Let’s rise to this challenge! Although low porosity hair retains moisture, it’s way harder for that hydration to enter the hair shaft, so you need specific products and a tailored haircare routine.    Welcome to Bouclème’s guide to low porosit ..read more
