If you’re dreaming of vibrant and lasting hair colour, proper care is key.
Colouring hair is an expensive and time-consuming process. After spending your valuable time and money on colouring hair, no one wants to see that beautiful shade fade too quickly.
To preserve your hair colour, you need to take care of it, giving extra protection from stressors like sun, heat, hard water, and shampoo, and more.
With a few expert strategies and the right assistance, you can keep your shade looking beautiful for much longer.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the world of hair colouring and how to make your hair colour last longer without much effort.
Wash Less Frequently
Shampooing your hair too often fades colour quickly. To get a lasting hair colour, it is crucial to give your hair some rest days and then wash it. We have seen in our salon that washing hair twice a week works best for most people. On other days, use dry shampoo to keep your scalp fresh and healthy.
Regular Conditioning and In-Salon Treatments
Treat your hair to hydrating masks or deep-conditioning products each week. Or, go a step further by booking a hydration or keratin treatment at Hair Crew & Co. These professional services restore shine and lock in colour, helping your style last and feel healthy.
Reduce Heat and Sun Exposure
Heat tools and the sun both fade colour. Our hair care experts recommend air-drying your hair whenever possible. If you use a hairdryer or straightener, spray on heat protectant first. Additionally, don’t forget to wear a hat or use a UV-protectant spray when outside.
Use Quality Products
Choose a shampoo and conditioner made for coloured hair. Look for “sulphate-free” on the label. These formulas are gentle and help your colour stay bright for longer. We at Hair Crew & Co. use only quality products from premium brands such as Artego and Kerastase to keep your hair colour healthy, and the colour lasts longer.
Embrace Hair Oils
A good quality hair oil can protect your hair colour and add shine to it. It helps to seal moisture and acts as a layer of protection for the colour of your hair. Hair Crew & Co offers a selection of luxury oils from brands like Kerastase and Artego, perfect for coloured hair.
