A new hair colour can compliment your overall appearance greatly, but to keep that hair colour looking as good as it did the first time you left the salon requires a little more care. Here is your ultimate checklist for looking after your hair and keeping it shimmering and healthy after your colour session.

1. Only use color-safe shampoos and conditioners.

Use only shampoos and conditioners formulated for color-treated hair. Sulfate formulations are less harsh and enable posterior retention of colour.

2. Avoid Frequent Washing

Showering your hair frequently can reduce their natural sebum, which decreases the longevity of the hair colour. It is advisable to wash your hair 2-3 times a week and then between that time use dry shampoos to keep your scalp fresh.

3. Rinse With Cool Water

Hot water weakens the hair cuticle and can result in the colour washing off. Avoid using hot water when rinsing since it is known to set the color since you want the proper color shade of your hair to set.

4. Limit Heat Styling

Heat styling strips your hair of the natural oils it needs to stay healthy, which eventually causes it to lose its sheen and turn dull, especially if it’s blonde. Protect your hair from heat-damaging tools by using heat-protective sprays and reducing the heat setting of your tool.

5. Deep Condition Regularly

You have to be careful with your hair. Color-treated hairs require more moisture. Try a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask once a week to maintain that hydration level and luster of the hair!

6. Protect From UV Rays

It is well known that exposure to the sun can alter your hair colour. Apply a UV-protected spray or use a hat while going for an extended period of time under the sun.

7. Minimize Chlorine Exposure

Chlorine from the pool water tends to fade hair colour and turn it brassy or green. bothering to wear a swim cap or apply leave-in conditioning before swimming.

8. Schedule Regular Touch-Ups

Hair grows, and colours fade. This way you can keep your roots camouflaged and have them touched up while you stick with your favorite look.
