Getting your hair tinted is a fantastic way to enhance your look, but keeping that fresh colour can take a bit of care. At Cruz Hairworks, we want you to enjoy your beautiful colour for as long as possible. Here’s a simple guide with tips, recommendations, and advice on maintaining your tint at home, so you can keep that salon-fresh feeling.
Tips to Keep Your Colour Vibrant
- Use Colour-Protecting Shampoo and Conditioner: Start by using the right shampoo and conditioner designed for coloured hair. For the best results, we recommend L'Oréal Professionnel Vitamino Color Shampoo and Conditioner. They’re specifically formulated to protect and maintain vibrant colour while keeping your hair soft and smooth.
- Wash with Care: Try to limit washing your hair to two or three times a week. Over-washing can cause the colour to fade faster. If you need to freshen up in between, consider using a dry shampoo to absorb oils and add volume.
- Cool Water Rinse: Hot water can open the hair cuticle, causing your colour to wash out faster. When rinsing your hair, use cool or lukewarm water to help keep the cuticle closed and the colour intact.
- Avoid Excessive Heat Styling: Heat from tools like straighteners and curling irons can strip your hair’s colour and cause dryness. If you do need to use heat styling, always apply a heat protectant spray beforehand to minimise damage.
- Protect from Sun Exposure: Sunlight can fade your colour, especially in the summer months. When outdoors, consider wearing a hat or using a UV protection spray to shield your hair from harmful rays.
- Moisturise Regularly: Coloured hair tends to be drier, so keeping it hydrated is key. Try L'Oréal Professionnel’s Vitamino Color 10-in-1 Spray for added moisture, shine, and colour protection in one easy step.
Recommended Complementary Services
To keep your tint looking its best, consider adding a gloss toner service between colour appointments. This treatment can enhance shine and refresh your colour, adding a boost to faded tones. Another excellent option is our L'Oréal Metal Detox Treatment, which removes any impurities that can dull your colour. Both of these services can help extend the life of your tint.
Ideal Interval Between Appointments
For permanent tint, it’s ideal to schedule touch-up appointments every 4 to 6 weeks. This helps maintain even colour and keeps root regrowth in check. Waiting too long between appointments can result in a strong contrast at the roots, so keeping a regular schedule makes it easier to manage.
Home Care Product Recommendations
To keep your colour bright and your hair healthy at home, we recommend:
- L'Oréal Professionnel Vitamino Color Shampoo: Gently cleanses while protecting the vibrancy of your colour.
- L'Oréal Professionnel Vitamino Color Conditioner: This conditioner hydrates and softens, leaving hair shiny and full of life.
- L'Oréal Professionnel Vitamino Color Mask: For an extra boost of hydration, use this mask once a week to deeply condition and add softness to your hair.
Maintaining your tint at home is easy with a few good habits and the right products. By following these simple aftercare steps, using recommended products, and sticking to a regular schedule, you can keep your colour looking fresh and vibrant until your next visit to Cruz Hairworks.
Take a bit of extra care, and you’ll enjoy rich, beautiful colour for weeks to come! For more advice or to book your next appointment, feel free to contact us or pop into the salon – we’re here to help.
