Hair Color Questions & Answers | Aurelio Salon Howell NJ
At Aurelio Salon & Spa in Howell, NJ, our stylists answer hair color questions every day. Here are some of the most common questions we hear from guests about maintaining and caring for their color at home.
What Shampoo Should I Use to Maintain My Hair Color?
After any color service, use a shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for color-treated hair. Color-safe formulas contain ingredients that slow color fade and help preserve your results between salon visits. For blonde hair, a violet-toned shampoo helps neutralize brassiness and keeps blonde tones cool and bright. Goldwell Blonde & Highlights shampoo and conditioner are excellent options for keeping lightened hair healthy, shiny, and true to tone.
Why Does My Blonde Hair Turn Yellow Between Visits?
Blonde hair can develop warm, yellow, or brassy tones between salon visits for several reasons. When hair is lightened, underlying orange and yellow pigments are naturally exposed. Stylists typically apply a toner after lightening to neutralize these tones, but toners are demi-permanent and fade over time — usually within four to six weeks. Hard water, chlorine, sun exposure, and environmental factors can also contribute to brassiness. A violet shampoo used regularly at home can help extend the life of your toner between appointments.
How Can I Make My Hair Color Last Longer?
A few simple habits can significantly extend the life of your hair color. Wash hair less frequently, use cool or lukewarm water instead of hot, apply a color-safe conditioner every wash, protect hair from sun exposure with a UV-protectant product, and avoid chlorine when possible. Scheduling regular gloss or toning services at the salon also helps refresh your color between full color appointments.
How Often Should I Come In for Color?
The frequency of color appointments depends on the type of color service, your natural hair color, and how quickly your hair grows. Root touch-ups are typically recommended every four to six weeks. Balayage and highlight services can often go eight to twelve weeks between appointments depending on your desired look and maintenance goals. Your stylist can recommend a schedule that works for your hair and lifestyle.
