Coloured hair looks fantastic, but it needs extra care to keep the colour vibrant and your hair healthy. Here are our top tips for maintaining coloured hair between salon visits.
1. Wait Before Washing
After getting your hair coloured, wait at least 48 hours before your first wash. This gives the colour time to set properly.
2. Use Colour-Safe Shampoo
Switch to a sulphate-free, colour-protecting shampoo. Regular shampoos can strip colour and cause it to fade faster.
3. Wash Less Frequently
Try to wash your hair only 2-3 times a week. Each wash removes some colour, so less washing means longer-lasting results.
4. Use Lukewarm Water
Hot water opens the hair cuticle and causes colour to leak out. Use lukewarm or cool water for washing and rinsing.
5. Deep Condition Weekly
Use a deep conditioning treatment or hair spa mask once a week to keep your coloured hair moisturised and shiny.
6. Protect from Sun and Heat
UV rays and heat styling can fade colour. Use a heat protectant before styling and wear a hat when out in strong sun.
