Best hair types for daylight checks
Blonde and lightened hair often looks very different in indoor lighting compared with true daylight. Bathroom or overhead bulbs can hide brass or make your hair appear warmer or duller than it is. The window light guide is for anyone with highlighted, bleached or naturally fair hair who wants to check their tone properly and spot changes early.
Our guide is also handy for colourists and stylists who want clients to track their toner fade at home between salon visits. It gives you a consistent way to check your colour, no matter the season or city.
What to mark on each review
The printed card gives you a simple step-by-step checklist for checking your hair in daylight, plus a spot to note your last salon visit and the products you’re using. The guide reminds you which window works best, when to check (morning or midday), and what signs to look for: yellow, gold, dullness, or shine.
Filling it in is easy. You tick off the steps as you go, noting if the colour looks cooler or warmer, and if any brass or fade is showing. There’s a space for your next care review or gloss top-up reminder. Use gloves if you’re noting results after toning products.
- Find a north-facing or east-facing window
- Check hair in natural daylight, not under bulbs
- Note any yellow, gold, or greenish tones
- Track if ends look dull or colour is fading
- Record when you last used a gloss or mask
How to use your window light guide over a month
Use the guide once a week, or whenever you wash, tone, or mask your hair. Tracking in real daylight helps you notice if your toner is fading faster than usual, especially in the Highveld summer UV or after swimming.
Keep your card nearby, or take a quick photo after each check to compare changes over time. If you see more brass, green tinge, or extra dryness, reach out to us for a care review or product tip using our contact form. Consistent daylight checks help your blonde stay bright, cool and soft between salon visits.
