There’s nothing worse than investing in a fresh hair color, only to have it fade faster than your last situationship. If you want to keep your color vibrant and your hair feeling healthy between salon visits, here are some must-know tips:
1. Wash Wisely
Hot water and frequent shampooing are your color’s worst enemies. Stick to lukewarm or cool water and use a sulfate-free shampoo made for color-treated hair. Bonus points if you stretch washes with dry shampoo!
2. Hydration = Longevity
Color-treated hair thrives on moisture. A weekly deep conditioning treatment or leave-in conditioner will keep your strands from looking dull and thirsty.
3. UV Protection for Your Hair
Just like your skin, your hair needs SPF too. The sun can fade your color, so wear a hat or use a UV-protectant spray when spending time outside.
4. Go Easy on the Heat
Excessive heat styling can zap the vibrancy from your color. When using hot tools, always apply a heat protectant and keep the temp at a reasonable level.
5. Schedule Regular Glosses
A quick gloss between full appointments can revive your color and keep it looking fresh without the full process. We recommend the Signature Maintenance Package that includes your gloss, treatment and a blowout. Book these on a Friday to be ready for the weekend or Monday to se your week up for success.
6. Trust Your Stylist
Your stylist knows your hair best! Following their aftercare recommendations will keep your color looking salon-fresh for as long as possible.
By showing your hair some extra love, you can make sure your color stays vibrant, shiny, and Instagram-worthy until your next salon visit. Need a refresh? Book your next color appointment with Indigo Child! 💜✨
