Coloured Hair Aftercare Girrawheen | Colour-Safe Home Care | Alex Royer

You can spend a lot on colour and undo it in a fortnight with the wrong routine. The good news is that a few simple habits make a real difference to how long it lasts.

Hot water is the first culprit. It opens the hair, and colour slips out. Washing every day is the second. Neither is a disaster, but changing them helps. The third is the shampoo. Products meant for coloured hair are gentler on pigment.

Habits that help

•     Wash with lukewarm or cool water

•     Wash less often, and use dry shampoo in between

•     Use a colour-safe shampoo and conditioner

•     Use heat protection before styling

•     Wear a hat or use a UV protectant in strong sun
