1. Wait Before Washing • Avoid washing your hair for at least 48 hours after coloring to allow the color to set properly. • Use lukewarm water instead of hot water to prevent fading. 2. Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo & Conditioner • Choose a color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to maintain color vibrancy. • Wash your hair 2-3 times a week to prevent color from stripping too quickly. 3. Deep Conditioning & Hydration • Colored hair needs extra moisture—use a deep conditioning treatment once a week. • Apply a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to prevent dryness and split ends. 4. Protect from Heat • Limit heat styling to avoid further damage. • Always apply a heat protectant spray before using hot tools. • Use a lower heat setting when blow-drying, curling, or straightening. 5. Avoid Chlorine & Sun Exposure • Wear a hat or UV protection spray when exposed to the sun to prevent color fading. • Rinse hair with clean water before and after swimming in a pool to reduce chlorine damage. 6. Regular Trims • To maintain your haircut and keep the ends healthy, schedule a trim every 6-8 weeks. 7. Refresh Your Color • Use a colour -depositing mask or gloss treatment in between appointments to keep the tone fresh. • Consider booking a toner or gloss appointment after 4-6 weeks if needed.
