TIPS ON HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR COLOURED HAIR Keeping your colour looking great for as long as possible and ensuring your hair feels healthy and looks glossy requires a little TLC  WASH HAIR LESS OFTEN It may sound obvious, but the more you wash your hair, the quicker colour molecules will fade. Whenever hair gets wet, each individual strand swells and a small amount of colour pigment seeps out, which is why extending the washing cycle is a must to keep hair looking fresh.  HOW TO CARE FOR BLONDE HAIR COLOUR Whether you’ve gone for a rich caramel blonde or ice white blonde, use blonde shampoo and conditioners, their Violet-tinted, colour-enhancing formula brings out the best in blonde, white and silver hair banishing any brassiness whilst adding shine. Our Forever blonde products also help to replenish moisture, repair damage and seal the cuticle. HOW TO CARE FOR BROWN/RED HAIR COLOUR Over-processed coloured hair can often appear dull a few weeks after a salon visit due to daily washing and environmental aggressors. Add an extra glow to rich brunettes and classic dark shades with a glossing treatment in between colour visits to add shine and refresh your colour. Our colour protect shampoo cleanses colour-treated hair while it moisturizes, protects against UV, strengthens and boosts shine and the conditioner protects hair from sun damage, detangles and smooths colour-treated hair, so locks look and feel soft and hydrated. APPLY A WEEKLY HAIR TREATMENT The key to maintaining even, glowing hair colour starts with well-conditioned, nourished locks. Like using a weekly treatment in a skincare regimen, hair masks and conditioners are essential for keeping your  locks healthy and its colour vibrant. After washing with your colour protect shampoo and conditioner.use a deeper conditioning treatment once a week. Our colour protect treatment repairs, conditions and hydrates colour-treated hair, and helps prevent damage and split ends. Sunflower extract intensely shields hair from the sun, while conditioning extracts leave locks hydrated and shiny. HAVE REGULAR TRIMS To achieve the most even-toned, healthy-looking colour possible, book in for regular trims alongside your colour appointments. Split ends create a dry, sensitised base for hair dye, meaning the colour may not absorb into hair properly or penetrate deep enough. Keeping ends freshly trimmed means a healthier hair base for your shade of the moment.  BE GENTLE WITH HEAT When it comes to heat, be gentle on your hair. Whether blow drying, curling or straightening, heat can cause hair to become sensitised, resulting in a dry, unmanageable texture. In terms of hair colour, this can leave colour looking flat and dull, as colour always looks at its best on shiny, healthy hair. Heat protectant spray will safe-guard hair from heat.  PREP FOR COLOUR Get ready for your next appointment. Use a clarifying shampoo a few days before heading to the salon to remove all residue ahead of your next colour treatment. We’d recommend to not wash your hair the day of the appointment, as natural sebum oils will help to protect the scalp during the colouring process

HAIR EXTENSION HOME CARE Do NOT wash hair for at least 24 hours to allow your newly applied extensions to adhere completely. BRUSHING: • Use a EVO Hair boar bristle brush or WET BRUSH to remove any knots or tangles, • Gather the hair into a ponytail and securely hold close to the scalp. Begin brushing from the ends, carefully working your way up toward the scalp, • Brushing your hair before it gets wet will keep the hair from tangling while washing. WASHING: • Brush extensions thoroughly before washing to remove any tangles, • Now that your hair is thicker, you may decide to divide the hair into two sections on either side of the head to wash or multiple ponytails and wash section-by- section. SHAMPOO: • Use a sulfate-free and paraben-free shampoo, • Begin at the scalp and massage shampoo into hair using a “Z” formation. Do not use a circular motion or flip head upside down as this causes tangles, • Part hair and rinse all the way to the scalp. If you used the ponytail method to section hair, rinse one at a time. Follow up with a final rinse. CONDITION: • Use a sulfate-free and paraben-free conditioner. • Apply conditioner from mid-shaft down to the tips of your hair and leave on for 2- 3 minutes. • Rinse completely. DRYING: • Towel or air dry your hair as much as possible before using a blow dryer, • The use of leave-in conditioners, heat protectants, as well as treatment oils from mid-shaft to ends is recommended to protect your extensions, • Using a blow-dryer, rough dry the hair, • Starting at the ends and working your way up toward the scalp, round brush the hair. STYLING TOOLS: • hair extensions are safe to use with thermal tools like curling wands, flat irons, etc. • Temperature setting depends on your natural hair. You may use between 270 to 450 F on your extensions as long as proper heat protectants are applied before styling. • Keep all hot tools away from the point of attachment to ensure extensions do not melt or fuse together. PRODUCTS: • Use professional grade products recommended by your stylist to maintain the health of your natural hair and extensions. • Avoid alcohol-based products close to the point of attachment as it may compromise the bonding agent and cause sliding. SWIMMING: • Before swimming, wet your hair with fresh tap water and apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner to the ends, • Tie in a loose ponytail or braid, • Once you are finished swimming, rinse the extensions with fresh water and spray with leave-in conditioner. SLEEPING: • Brush hair gently and loosely braid before sleeping, • Do not go to bed with wet hair as it can cause tangling close to the scalp. If this occurs, schedule an appointment with your stylist to remove immediately.
