Tips for protecting your hair colour

You’ve just left the salon and your colour is absolutely perfect! But now, you’re worried it may not stand the test of:
  • time or
  • fare well against sunlight
  • and pollution.

Don’t fret; our beauty experts reveal the secrets to keeping your colour looking rich and vibrant longer.

Shampoos and masks: don’t go without!

Are you wondering whether shampoo for colour-treated hair is really necessary? The answer is “yes.” In fact, these products are a must. They not only clean your hair, but also restore its shine. Formulated with gentle ingredients, these special products can be used every day and help prevent your colour from fading.

Masks are also great for giving your colour an extra boost. Thanks to their special properties, they revive your colour’s glow in a flash. A few minutes per week is all it takes, but to obtain the desired results, be sure to follow to the letter the wait time indicated on the package.

Good to know!

Heat activates the ingredients in masks. Once you have applied your mask, run a towel under very hot water, wring it out then wrap it around your head. Another option: blow dry your hair with the mask on. Once dry, rinse and gently towel dry it. You’ll see, your colour will be fabulous!

10 quick tips

  1. Take good care of your hair every day by using products adapted to your needs.
  2. Choose permanent colour. Semi-permanent products fade more quickly.
  3. Apply a protective mask to your hair the day before you get it coloured.
  4. Avoid washing your hair for 24 to 48 hours after having it coloured.<
  5. If possible, wait six weeks between each colouring.
  6. Choose a shade that is close to your natural hair colour; your roots will not be as noticeable.
  7. Wear a hat outside to protect your hair from ultraviolet rays.
  8. Thoroughly rinse your hair after swimming.
  9. Wash your hair with cold water to tighten the cuticles.
  10. Use colour-reviving and shine-amplifying shampoos and conditioners.
