Colorful hair in every shade is a beautiful and diverse form of expression. Although most hair services have a cost incurred, others may have additional efforts or expectations for upkeep required as well.

There are many products available to assist this process, but none more valuable then the mindset that hair is an ever evolving fabric we wear, and wear on daily.

Below we will touch on maintenance tips as well as lifestyle changes to ensure your colored hair life is as enjoyable as possible. Hair color can live at multiple levels in the hair depending on the technology used and the brighter colors are typically always closest to the surface of the strand.

Because of this:

• colors can rub off on skin and fabrics
• color can stain porous surfaces i.e. bath rubs and grout
• sun exposure can diminish shades
• improper removal and overly processed hair can become permanently stained
• every wash can lessen the vibrancy

Washing less is probably the first step in preserving color, and correcting overactive scalps. There’s no oils better then your own, so try to keep that in mind as you get through the mental parts of washing less.

Using products with cuticle sealing, UV, and heat protection will prolong color drastically. Sun and light can fade hair color just like paint! Hot tools, and over styling can cook color off the surface that color sits so turning the dial down and using protectants can keep color, and length intact.

Although these tips can help, enjoying the color through every phase is the best way to have beautiful hair, and get the most out of your investment.
