Colour Care

"Colour care" in the context of haircare involves using specialized products and techniques to protect hair from fading, maintaining vibrancy, and repair damage caused by the coloring process. This generally means using sulfate-free, UV-protectant, and bond-strengthening formulas.

Essential Colour Care Practices:
Wash Less Frequently: The more you wash your hair, the quicker the color molecules escape. Use dry shampoo between washes to keep hair fresh.
Use Cool Water: Hot water opens the hair cuticle, allowing color to slip out easily. Opt for cool or lukewarm water when washing to help seal the cuticle and lock in pigment.
Protect from Heat and Sun: Excessive heat from styling tools and UV rays from the sun can break down dye molecules. Always use a heat protectant before styling and a UV protection spray or hat when in the sun.
Deep Condition Regularly: Colored hair is often drier and more porous. Use a deep conditioner or hair mask weekly to add essential moisture, seal the cuticle, and keep hair soft and shiny.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stay away from shampoos containing sulfates, which can strip away color and natural oils. Also, be mindful of chlorine in swimming pools and salt water, both of which can cause fading; rinse your hair with clean water before and after swimming.
