How to care for your colour

Picture
​


​We always get questions from our beautiful clients about how they can best care for their new hair colour. We love colouring your hair because we love making you feel fabulous but we also know it’s expensive so it’s important to us that your colour lasts as long as possible, and looks great long after you leave the salon. We’ve compiled a list of top tips to make your colour last  


​Pick the right products 

There’s a reason we recommend salon professional shampoos and conditioners for colour treated hair. We know they’re more expensive than what you pick up at your local Superdrug, but trust us, they are so worth it. You’re spending money on your colour so you may as well look after it and make sure it lasts. 

Don’t believe us? Check out this video! 

We stock Redken Color Extend Shampoo and Conditioner in the salon so you can grab it after your appointment. 

Skip the hair wash day (if you can)

When you wash your hair less, your colour lasts longer. If you can go a day or two between hair washes, your colour will thank you. Save your locks between washes with a little dry shampoo at your roots. 

Turn down the heat


A hot shower opens up your cuticle releasing colour and moisture. It’s sad, we know, but turning the temperature down in the shower when you’re washing your hair will make your colour last much longer. We’re not saying you need to stand in a cold shower, just wash your hair as cool as you can. 

Conditioner is your friend 

Smooth on a deep conditioning mask once a week to keep your locks hydrated and healthy. In a previous blog we explain how to use coconut oil to condition your hair to keep it looking fab.
 

Avoid hot tools 

Hot tools such as hair dryers, straighteners and curling tongs speed up the process of colour fading. We suggest avoiding them for the first week after your appointment if you can. When you are applying heat to your hair, be sure to use a heat protection product as this will protect your hair and help reduce colour fade. 

In short, if you want your colour to look fabulous long after you’ve left the salon, look after it. Avoid chemicals and heat where possible as these will speed up the process of your colour fading. But most importantly, have fun with your new hair!
