6 Rules for Colored Hair

How well your color holds after the salon depends on your home routine. Here are the six rules that matter most.

Colored hair care and balayage

1. Use sulfate-free shampoo

Sulfates strip color quickly. Sulfate-free formulas cleanse gently and reduce pigment loss. Also skip washing for the first 48 hours after color.

2. A weekly mask

A mask nourishes hair, locks in moisture and reduces color fatigue. Bond-repair masks are especially helpful after balayage or lightening.

3. No heat styling without protection

A heat protectant guards both color and hair health. Also keep the temperature moderate and the tool a little further from the strand.

4. Watch for sun and chlorine

For long sun exposure use a UV-protective spray. Before pools, wet hair with clean water and apply some conditioner to reduce chlorine's effect on color.

5. Refresh with a toner

Between color sessions, a mid-cycle toner keeps things vibrant — especially for blondes and balayage, taming red-orange reflections.

6. Book your appointment early

Putting off a refresh means a longer session every time. The sweet spot is when roots reach about 2 – 3 cm.
