Are you losing the vibrancy of your colour? Is your fading colour a constant drain on your pocket? The colour experts at North Sydney Hairdressers, West St Salon offer the following advice to extend the life of your colour treatment.

TIP 1: Avoid shampooing as this makes your colour fade. Shampoo opens your cuticle then the colour molecules wash away. Try only using conditioner instead.

TIP 2: After initial colour treatment wait 48 hours before washing your hair.

TIP 3: Try only shampooing your scalp to avoid washing colour away from ends.

Tip 4: Wash your hair in cold water. This will not only help keep your colour it also maintains healthy hair with lots of shine.

TOP 5: Avoid putting your head under water when swimming especially in a chlorine pool. Not an option? Make sure you use a swimming cap.

TIP 6: Always use a shampoo and condition that is designed especially for colour treatment hair.

TIP 7: Use a leave in conditioner before blow drying that has a UV protector as this protects your hair from sun and our harsh environment.

TIP 8: Use a shampoo or conditioner that has colour pigment molecules at least once a week. This will top up your colour in between your salon visits.

TIP 9:  Come to the salon in between colour appointments for a quick semi or toner colour top up.

TIP 10: Use a dry shampoo instead of shampooing.
