This comes up a lot, especially for people trying blonde hair for the first time. In short, 613 human hair isn’t hard to maintain, but it does need different care compared to natural dark hair.
Because 613 hair is lifted to a very light blonde, the cuticles go through more processing than darker shades. That means the hair can be more prone to dryness if it’s not cared for properly. The good news is that since it’s human hair, you can treat it with many of the same methods you’d use on your natural hair — just a little more gently.
Moisture is key. Using sulfate-free shampoos, deep conditioning regularly, and avoiding overwashing makes a big difference. Many people also like to use purple shampoo occasionally to keep brassiness under control, especially if the hair starts to look yellow over time.
Another thing to know is that 613 human hair takes color very well. If you plan to tone it, dye it pastel, or go platinum or ash blonde, you’ll get better results than starting from dark hair. Just make sure to follow up with nourishing treatments after coloring.
Overall, if you’re willing to focus on hydration and gentle handling, 613 human hair can stay soft, vibrant, and beautiful for a long time. It’s more about mindful care than difficulty.
