For Coloured Hair
Colour leaves little by little with every wash. Hard water, sun, and hot styling speed this up, so in a month the mirror shows a different shade than the one from the salon.
Color doesn't fade from time — it fades from habits. Here's what actually affects it.
Most often it's not the sun that "eats" the color, but hot water and hard tap water — contrary to what many think. Five minutes of gentle care after washing works better than an expensive mask once a week.
Care goals
- Keep the tone
- Cleanse gently
- Bring back shine
- Stretch the time to the next visit
What to do at home
Skip washing for the first two days after colour because the tone is still settling. Then use shampoo for coloured hair to protect pigment. A shower filter can help colour last longer when water is hard.
What to avoid
- Washing within 48 hours
- Hot water
- Sun on unprotected lengths
These two stay with colour between visits: soft cleanse, then deeper shine and tone support.
