The perfect colourist is akin to a wizard transforming a lack lustre shade into the impossibly shiny multi tonal radiant hair hue of your dreams. So naturally you’ll want to keep it looking its best and fight the fade. But after leaving the salon even with the best of intentions it’s not always easy to maintain your colour between dye jobs. Even when we think we’ve followed all our hairdressers tips to the letter we’ve probably committing some serious coloured hair sins without even realising. So to help you keep your locks and their shade the best and to stay in your colourists good books we quizzed our favourite colour pros here at Cream on the biggest at home hair care sins you could be committing at home and how to stop them in their tracks…
Specialist Shampoos… Investing in the right shampoo and conditioner is as important as getting the best dye job in the first place. It’s important to be wary of products which promise to enhance your colour as they don’t always do what they say on the tin. Schwarzkopf Colour Freeze range is all you’ll ever need!
Blonde up-keep… It’s easy to brush off your colourists recommendation that you book in your next visit for two or three months time. But putting off topping up on your colour isn’t just a risk for tell tale roots, avoiding regular appointments can make your blonde brittle and lead to un-necessary damage. Leaving too long between can really damage your hair if you are trying to be as blonde as possible. If you leave roots for too long you end up with colour banding that will result in damage and breakage further down the line and your colourist having to correct it.
Sun protection… Ever feel like your hair is super dry after you come back from a sunny holiday? If skin is made from the same cells as your hair why wouldn’t you protect your hair like you protect your skin in the sun… There are lots of products that contain UV protection and should be sprayed liberally before sitting in the sun.
