As someone who has just visited the salon and treated your hair to a fresh new colour, you're probably feeling fabulous and ready to show off your stunning new look. However, maintaining that vibrant, salon-fresh colour can be a bit of a challenge. Fear not, the hair care experts at Partners Hair Design are here to share their top tips for keeping your colour looking its best long after your salon visit.
Invest in the Right Shampoo and Conditioner
One of the most important steps in preserving your colour is using the right haircare products. Opt for a shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for colour-treated hair. These products are designed to gently cleanse your hair without stripping away the colour pigments. Look for ingredients like sulfate-free surfactants, which are less harsh on coloured hair.
Partners Hair Design offers a range of premium colour-protecting shampoos and conditioners that are perfect for maintaining your new hue. Their Colour Protect Shampoo and Conditioner duo is a customer favourite, infused with nourishing ingredients like argan oil and keratin to keep your hair healthy and vibrant.
Limit Heat Styling
While it's tempting to reach for your trusty blow dryer, straightener, or curling iron to style your hair, excessive heat can actually cause your colour to fade faster. Try to limit the use of hot tools as much as possible, and when you do use them, be sure to apply a heat-protecting product first.
Partners Hair Design has a fantastic selection of heat-protecting styling products, including their Thermal Protect Spray. This lightweight mist creates a protective barrier on your hair, shielding it from the damaging effects of heat styling. Pair it with their Ionic Hair Dryer for a salon-worthy blowout that won't compromise your colour.
Protect Your Hair from the Sun
Just like your skin, your coloured hair can be susceptible to sun damage. The UV rays from the sun can cause your hair colour to fade and become dull over time. When you're spending time outdoors, be sure to wear a hat or scarf to shield your hair from direct sunlight.
If a hat isn't an option, Partners Hair Design recommends using a UV-protecting hair product, such as their Colour Protect Serum. This lightweight serum creates a protective barrier on your hair, helping to prevent colour fading and keep your strands looking vibrant.
Embrace Cool Water Rinses
Hot water may feel soothing, but it can actually strip away the colour from your hair. Instead, try to rinse your hair with cool or lukewarm water whenever possible. The cooler temperature helps to seal in the colour and prevent it from fading.
If you find it difficult to adjust to cool water, Partners Hair Design suggests starting with a warm rinse and gradually lowering the temperature until you can comfortably use cool water. Your hair (and your colour) will thank you!
Limit Washing and Use Dry Shampoo
Frequent washing can also contribute to colour fading, as the shampoo and water work to gradually wash away the pigments in your hair. Try to limit your hair washing to 2-3 times per week, and on the days in between, use a dry shampoo to absorb excess oil and refresh your style.
Partners Hair Design's Volumizing Dry Shampoo is a game-changer for extending the life of your colour. It not only adds volume and texture to your hair, but it also helps to extend the time between washes, keeping your colour vibrant for longer.
Schedule Regular Colour Refreshes
Even with the best care, your hair colour will eventually start to fade. To keep your hue looking its best, schedule regular colour refreshes with the experts at Partners Hair Design. They can assess the condition of your hair and recommend the perfect colour-boosting treatment to revive your look.
Whether you opt for a full colour retouch or a glossing treatment, the team at Partners Hair Design will ensure your hair stays healthy and your colour remains vibrant. They'll work with you to create a customized haircare routine that fits your needs and helps you maintain your stunning new look.
Remember, maintaining coloured hair takes a bit of extra effort, but it's well worth it to keep your hair looking its absolute best. With the right products and techniques from Partners Hair Design, you can enjoy your beautiful new colour for weeks to come. So, what are you waiting for? Book your appointment today and get ready to flaunt your fabulous, salon-fresh hair!
