FAQ

How do you take care of damaged, colored hair?

While your favorite hair color may look fabulous, hair dye and bleach cause significant damage. Here are a few tips to repair your dyed strands.

• Take a break. After every dye job, take at least six weeks off from color and bleach to let your hair repair. 
• Use color-safe products. Using color-safe products is essential to keep your color vibrant and avoid damaging your fragile strands. 
• Try heatless hairstyles. While repairing your recently colored hair, style your hair without using hot tools to avoid extra damage.
• Use nourishing products. Along with color-safe shampoo and conditioner, try using products such as reparative hair masks, leave-in conditioners, and hair serums. 

Does colored hair need a special shampoo?

Colored hair needs color-safe shampoo to help the color last longer. Some shampoos contain sulfates and other harsh chemicals that strip hair color. This means more fading, salon trips, and damage. Color-focused shampoos are designed without stripping ingredients. They’ll also moisturize your hair to assist in the repair process. 

What else can you do for long-lasting color?

Here are a few tips so that your hair color lasts longer. 

• Shampoo less. Even the best shampoos can cause fading when used too frequently. Try washing your hair less to avoid stripping color.
• Use toning products. If your color has lost its vibrancy, try a toning product to brighten and enhance the color. We love Christophe Robin’s Shade Variation Mask because it comes in four shades.
• Distribute your shampoo correctly. When shampooing your hair, focus the product on your scalp and massage thoroughly. Oil production and product build-up start at the scalp — focusing here and not scrubbing the rest of your hair means your color will last longer. 
• Wait to wash. After dying your hair, avoid washing it with shampoo for at least a day to allow the color to set.
