How to Make Your Hair Colour Last Longer

Posted by Juliana Marcs on

A beautiful colour is an investment, and a few small habits make a big difference to how long it lasts. Here's what our colour team tells every client before they leave the chair.

Six habits for longer-lasting colour

Tip 1

Wait before your first wash

Give your colour time to settle. Where you can, wait two to three days before washing after a colour appointment.

Tip 2

Wash less often, and cooler

Every wash fades colour a little. Try two or three washes a week in lukewarm water. A dry shampoo like Fresh Affair stretches the time between washes.

Tip 3

Use colour-safe products

Shampoos made for coloured hair are gentler on your colour. Chroma Absolu is designed to protect colour and keep it glossy.

Tip 4

Protect from heat and sun

Heat styling and UV both fade colour. Use a heat protector like Sérum Chroma Thermique every time you style, and wear a hat on long days in the sun.

Tip 5

Add shine weekly

A weekly gloss treatment keeps colour looking rich. Soin Acide Chroma Gloss is a favourite in the salon.

Tip 6

Keep up with the salon

Regular gloss and toner appointments between full colours keep your shade looking freshly done.
