Maintaining vibrant hair colour is not just about preserving the colour pigment; it’s about protecting your hair’s overall health. Here is a guide to keep your locks looking their best:
Wear a Hat
1. Understand the Sun’s Impact:
Beyond the subtle pigments in the colour: Even natural hair is susceptible to sun damage. UV rays can weaken hair, leading to dryness, breakage, and fading. f Protection is Key: Wear a hat or use a scarf to shield your hair from the sun, especially during peak hours.
2. The Role of Water:
Mineral Buildup: Hard water containing minerals like calcium and magnesium can leave a residue on your hair, making it feel dry, brittle, and dull.
Consider using the Kerastase Premier Range designed to remove mineral buildup causing the hair to be detoxified and moisturised including offering to protect hair from mineral buildup and further damage.
3. Choose the Right Hair Care:
Tailored Approach: Different hair textures require different care. Select shampoos and conditioners specifically formulated for your hair type (fine, coarse, curly, frizzy).
Colour-Safe Options: select colour-safe products that are gentle and help maintain your hair’s vibrancy.
4. Deep Conditioning is Essential:
Hydration Boost: Regular deep conditioning treatments help replenish moisture lost due to colouring, sun exposure, and mineral buildup.
Weekly Indulgence: Aim for a deep conditioning treatment at least once a week.
5. Minimize Heat Styling:
Heat Damage: Excessive use of heat styling tools like flat irons and curling irons can further dry out and damage hair, especially colour-treated hair.
Air Dry When Possible: Whenever possible, allow your hair to air dry naturally.
6. Regular Trims:
Prevent Split Ends: Regular trims (every 6-8 weeks) help remove split ends, which can travel up the hair shaft and cause further breakage.
7. A definite must is to apply one of the kerastase serums to protect and nourish the hair preventing dryness and help prevent split ends.
8. Colour-Safe Practices:
Professional Touch: For best results, consult with a professional colourist for touch-ups and any significant colour changes.
Colour-Protecting Treatments: Inquire about in-salon treatments designed to protect hair colour and enhance shine.
By following these tips, you can help maintain your hair colour, keep your locks healthy and strong, and enjoy vibrant, beautiful hair for longer.
