Aftercare for Vivid Colours
To keep your color vibrant and long-lasting, follow these tips:
1. Wait Before Washing: Avoid washing your hair for 48-72 hours after your color service to allow the pigment to fully set.
2. Use Sulfate-Free Products: Always wash with a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to prevent color stripping. Look for formulas specifically designed for coloured hair.
3. Cold Water Rinse: Use cool or lukewarm water when washing. Hot water opens the hair cuticle, which can cause color to fade faster.
4. Wash Less Often: Try to wash your hair 2-3 times per week to maintain your color longer. Use dry shampoo in between washes if needed.
5. Protect From Heat: Always use a heat protectant before blow-drying, straightening, or curling. Excessive heat can dull your colour.
6. Avoid Chlorine: If swimming, wear a swim cap or apply a leave-in conditioner to protect your hair from chlorine, which can cause fading.
7. Regular Treatments: Use a deep conditioner or hair mask weekly to keep your hair hydrated and healthy, as color-treated hair can be more prone to dryness.
8. Touch-Up Plan: Book regular touch-ups to keep your color looking fresh and vibrant.
