Four Tips to extend the life of your color:



1. CARE:
Always use an at home regimen that is specifically tailored for color treated hair. Vitamin E is an excellent anti-oxidant and helps to protect your color from fading.

2. PREPARE:
Ask your colorist if there is a treatment you can do at home before your next color appointment. I would recommend a protein treatment ~ Color binds to protein ~ keeping your hair healthy and strong and extending the life of your color.

3. MAINTAIN BALANCE:
Only color the hair that needs to be colored. Hair can get dried out, weakened and damaged when it is overworked with color and bleach. Opt out of highlights every visit and discuss options with your colorist to Alternate between Highlights and lowlights.

4. PROTECT: Be aware of elements that can damage your hair and fade your color. Keep in mind that healthy hair will always respond to hair color better. Choose products that protect from the sun, mineral deposits and heat tools. A clarifying shampoo once a month will help remove mineral and product build up from your hair.
