Maintaining their color between salon visits requires the appropriate shampoos, conditioners and color protection products to keep it vibrant. Integrating these into their routine will ensure they keep looking their best!
Sulfate-free shampoos are recommended as they won’t strip hair dye of its pigment, while using lukewarm water when washing their hair is also key in avoiding fade.
Moisturizing Shampoos and Conditioners
Color-treated hair can be especially susceptible to moisture loss and dryness, leading to dull and lifeless locks. Luckily, shampoos and conditioners designed specifically to preserve color from damage are now available so that color remains vibrant for healthy-looking locks.
When selecting a shampoo designed specifically to moisturize color-treated hair, look for formulas containing humectants such as glycerin. This ingredient helps prevent color fade by minimizing tangles and encouraging softness – thus prolonging the lifespan of your dye job.
At the same time, it’s crucial to avoid products containing sulfates which can strip hair of color and moisture. Luckily, most color-protecting shampoos are free from these harmful additives to provide maximum protection for the locks.
Sephora customers love this sulfate-free L’Oreal Paris shampoo for its ability to preserve hair color while leaving it looking shiny and healthy. Packed with essential ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and vitamin E which work together to support protein health in hair protein structures as well as boost shine, this formula keeps locks looking vibrant while protecting color-treated strands.
Heat Protectant Sprays or Serums
Heat protectants help limit the damage done by heat-styling tools on hair, as well as help tame frizz, increase shine, seal in moisture and seal out frizz. For optimal results, choose silicone-free options with UV protection.
Some sprays offer extra benefits, like protecting color-treated hair against chlorine and sea salt exposure. Sarah Potempa of The Beachwaver Company suggests sprays as a great way to style thick locks easily while helping prevent tangling: this way they can easily be distributed throughout your strands as you style and help avoid tangling!
Heat protection sprays or serums come in various formulations. Many are sprays, which may be easier to spritz on fine hair without weighing it down. Other varieties may be gels or balms applied with your hands; you may also use these dry for best results.
UV Protectors
Sunlight can add beautiful highlights to your hair, but prolonged UV exposure can degrade pigments and bleach your shaft, leaving it lighter than desired and sometimes uneven. Therefore, it is vital that products designed specifically for colored hair provide UV protection.
Styling products designed to protect against UV damage may help, but many fall short: they don’t cover every strand evenly, leaving strands vulnerable to progressive color damage as reactive oxygen species attack melanin molecules and break down hair fiber.
This hybrid oil-serum formula works on the outside of hair to seal and protect it from environmental stresses and oxidative damage, including environmental stressors such as environmental pollution and pollution, while providing UV defense mist protection. With an antioxidant-rich mix including quinoa protein and certified organic shea butter to combat fade, brassiness and frizz issues; plus fire tulip oil which protects against heat damage for added security against heat styling damage – spray this UV defense mist before going out in order to keep color true while protecting healthy locks from environmental stressors!
Deep Conditioning Treatments
If your clients have extremely dry hair, this could be a telltale sign they require a deep conditioning treatment. Deep conditioning works to replenish moisture into their scalp to enhance texture and prevent matting or snagging between strands as well as reduce frizz due to damage or dehydration.
Search for a treatment designed specifically to protect color treated hair that does not contain sulfates as these surfactants can strip away natural oils in your locks and hasten the fading process.
Deep conditioners can also protect hair from heat tools and environmental stressors. If your client regularly uses blow dryers or curling irons, a deep conditioning treatment could provide them with ample moisture while helping prevent damage to their strands. In addition, deep conditioning treatments give hair more natural shine and softness for vibrant results.
