For optimal vibrancy and shine, first and foremost, you should you trust your hair color only to hair color specialists such as the professional colorists at Colors Hair Studio in New Smyrna Beach AND here are a few more tips to preserve glossy, gorgeous hair color between visits to the salon:

As with pretty much everything, moderation is the key. So avoid excessive shampooing, which can wash out hair color. When you do wash your hair, don’t shower with extremely hot water which can open hair cuticles – also causing color to rinse out faster. Keep the water on the cooler side when washing your hair, especially for hair dyes in the red spectrum. Hard water can also be hard on colored hair, creating build-up which can lead to color resistance. 

The professional hair colorists at Colors Hair Studio can help you choose the right products for colored hair, but here are some additional suggestions: 

Make sure your shampoo does NOT include sulfates, as they are harsh cleaning agents which can strip your hair color; and work deep conditioning into your hair routine to hydrate hair.

Pool chlorine can also strip and even change hair color. So be careful to keep your hair out of the pool water or covered with a swim cap if you are someone who swims frequently. Also don’t forget that even the sun can fade your hair color. Wearing a hat to protect your hair from the sun’s harsh rays is a good idea too!
