5 Tips for Keeping Hair Color Vibrant Between Appointments
Whether you come in for regular grey coverage or love experimenting with fashion color, what you do at home between appointments makes a significant difference in how your color looks and lasts. Here are five professional tips from our team at Aurelio Salon & Spa:
1. Use a Color-Safe Shampoo and Conditioner
Color-safe formulas are specifically designed to be gentler on the hair cuticle and to slow the rate at which color molecules wash out. Using a regular shampoo on color-treated hair can strip color significantly faster — especially in the first few weeks after a color service.
2. Wash Hair Less Frequently
Every time you shampoo, some color is lost. Extending the time between washes — even by one additional day — can meaningfully extend the life of your color. Dry shampoo is an excellent tool for refreshing roots between washes without shampooing.
3. Use Cooler Water When Washing
Hot water opens the hair cuticle, which allows color molecules to escape more easily. Washing with cooler or lukewarm water keeps the cuticle tighter and helps color stay locked in longer. Finishing with a cool water rinse adds shine as well.
4. Protect Your Hair from Sun Exposure
UV rays break down hair color, particularly blonde and fashion colors. Using a UV-protectant hair product before sun exposure — especially in summer months — helps slow color fade and keeps your color looking fresh for longer.
5. Schedule Regular Gloss or Toning Services
A professional gloss or toning service between full color appointments refreshes the tone of your color, adds shine, and extends the life of your color work. Ask your stylist at Aurelio Salon whether a gloss service would be appropriate for your color maintenance plan.
