Hair Colour Care

It is great what colour does for hair but is not is frustrating how quickly it fades? Here is how you can make yours last the mile in step by step.

Step 1: Shampoo and Condition

Restore lustre to coloured hair with a shampoo designed for colour-treated hair. These formulas have gentle ingredients and low pH levels to help preserve hair colour. Rinse with lukewarm water (hot water strips off colour) and follow with conditioner. It helps give hair shine, nourish, moisture and protect strands from heat and damage. Limit shampooing and conditioning to three times a week or risk colour fading quickly. Also if the swimming, wet hair with spring water and smooth on a leave-in conditioner before diving in! The chemicals in the water could leech your strands of colour.

Step 2: Treat

Once a week, treat your locks to an intensive conditioning product to fortify chemically-stressed tresses. It will help your dyed hair retain the lustrous glow. The Schwarzkopf Professional Bonacure Colour Revive, for example, is a two-step five week programme that is designed to improve colour brilliance and the condition of hair.

Step 3: Styling

Unlike normal styling products that only help you achieve your desired do products made for colour-treated tresses also prolong and enhance your new shade, while giving it intense shine.

Step 4: Shielding

Sun exposure could also fade a dye job, so shield locks with UV hair protectant that guards against moisture loss and dullness. Just spritz in strands before heading out into the sun.
