Before you go ahead and colour – Have a conversation with your stylist about the health of your hair. When you decide to move on from this look – how will you change the colour? Will you need to be prepared to grow out the hair until you can change the colour again? Maybe you will want to change your style and cut your hair, to make the move from this hot look? It is always a good idea to speak with your stylist about what will happen with your hair after this look.
How to keep your hair colour looking fresh: Watch the temperature of the water you wash your hair with. Try a cooler water temperature. Read the label of your shampoos and make sure they are sulfate free. Try to avoid washing your hair too much! Washing only two times a week will keep the colour longer and improve the condition of your hair. Every time you wash your hair, your hair can be prone to damage. Having fewer washes will help to keep your hair strong and health.! Be aware of heat styling tools – they are hotter now than they were 10 years ago. Protect your hair with a leave in hair protectant and try to use your heat styling tools sparingly.
