Post-Colour Hair Care: How to Keep Your New Shade Vibrant and Beautiful

So, you’ve just left Radiance Hair Salon with a stunning new hair colour that perfectly complements your style and personality. Now, it’s time to ensure that your vibrant shade stays fresh and beautiful for as long as possible. The key to maintaining your newly coloured locks is proper post-colour hair care. Radiance Hair is here to guide you through the essential steps to keep your colour looking radiant and luscious.

1. Use Colour-Safe Shampoo and Conditioner

The foundation of post-colour hair care is selecting the right products. Invest in a high-quality colour-safe shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated to protect and nourish your coloured hair. These products help maintain the vibrancy of your colour while keeping your hair hydrated and healthy.

2. Wash with Cool Water

Hot water can strip away the natural oils in your hair, causing your colour to fade more quickly. To maintain your vibrant shade, opt for cooler water temperatures when washing your hair. Cold water helps seal the hair cuticle, locking in the colour and adding a beautiful shine.

3. Limit Washing Frequency

Frequent washing can contribute to colour fading. Try to extend the time between washes to preserve your colour. If you need to freshen up between washes, consider using a dry shampoo to absorb excess oil and keep your hair looking and feeling clean.

4. Protect Your Hair from the Sun

UV rays can be harsh on coloured hair, leading to fading and dryness. Shield your locks from the sun’s rays by wearing a hat or using hair products with built-in UV protection. Radiance Hair Salon offers a range of UV-protectant hair products that not only safeguard your colour but also nourish your hair.

5. Deep Conditioning Treatments

Colouring your hair can leave it in need of some extra love and care. Treat your locks to regular deep conditioning treatments to restore moisture, strengthen your hair, and enhance the vibrancy of your colour. Radiance Hair Salon provides professional deep conditioning treatments tailored to your hair’s unique needs.

6. Avoid Heat Damage

Excessive heat styling can cause colour to fade and make your hair more prone to damage. If you must use heated styling tools, ensure you apply a heat protectant before styling. Consider embracing air-drying or using heat-free styling methods to minimise the impact on your colour-treated hair.

7. Schedule Regular Touch-Ups

Maintaining your hair colour is an ongoing process. Schedule regular touch-ups at Radiance Hair Salon to keep your colour looking fresh and vibrant. Our expert colourists can touch up your roots, adjust the tone, or introduce new techniques to enhance your overall look.

8. Be Mindful of Pool Chemicals

Chlorine and other chemicals in swimming pools can be harsh on coloured hair. Before swimming, wet your hair with clean water to reduce its ability to absorb pool chemicals. After swimming, rinse your hair thoroughly and use a colour-protecting shampoo to remove any residue.

By following these post-colour hair care tips, you can ensure that your beautiful new shade stays vibrant and radiant.
