Reaching for the little pink bottle and dyeing your hair a vibrant colour is super fun and a great way to show off your personality. When you make that effort with the dyeing process, you want to make that colour last right?! Keeping that colour vibrant can be a bit tricky if your new to the vivid colour game but don’t worry here’s a quick and easy guide to make sure your Crazy Color stays bold and beautiful for as long as possible.

Here are our 7 easy ways to care for coloured hair and make it bold and bright for longer!

1. Prep Before You Dye

Before you even think about colouring your hair, make sure it’s in good shape.

- Healthy Hair First: If your hair is dry, damaged or just in need of TLC, use a deep conditioner or hair mask to get it healthy.

- Start Fresh: Use our UV Shampoo on your blonde hair to create a clean base for your vivid and get rid of any product build-up and oils.

2. Pick the right products that care for coloured hair

 

What you use on your hair matters. A lot.

 

- Colour-Safe Products: Choose shampoos and conditioners made for colour-treated hair. Our Colour Extend Shampoo and Rainbow Care Conditioner are made to hydrate and nourish coloured hair 
- Go Sulphate-Free: Sulphates can strip your colour, so check to make sure you are picking sulphate-free formulas.

 

3. Wash with care using shampoo for coloured hair

 

How you wash your hair can make a big difference.

 

- Cool Water Only: Hot water fades colour fast: keep it cool or lukewarm when washing and be sure to use a shampoo for coloured hair that will protect the colour.
- Less is More: Don’t wash your hair too often. Use dry shampoo to keep it fresh between washes.

 

4. Protect Your Hair

 

Keep your hair safe from daily damage.

 

- Heat Protection: Always use a heat protector spray before styling with heat tools.
- Sun Protection: UV rays can fade your colour. Wear a hat, stay in the shade or use a UV protector or leave in conditioner when you’re out in the sun to keep those colours bright!


5. Keep Your Coloured Hair Hydrated

 

Coloured hair needs extra care.

 

- Deep Condition: Use a deep conditioner or hair mask weekly.
- Leave-In Conditioner: A leave-in conditioner can keep your hair moisturised throughout the day.

 

6. Maintain Your Color

 

Regular touch-ups keep your colour looking fresh.

 

- Touch Up Roots: As your hair grows and colour fades, touch up your roots to keep your colour even.
- Use Color-Depositing Products: Use our Vibrant Colour Shampoos or add Power Pigment Drops to your Rainbow Care Conditioner or Bond Recovery Treatment mask to refresh your colour between dye’s. 

 

7. Be Careful with Chlorine and Salt Water

 

Both can strip your colour.

 

- Before Swimming: Soak your hair with clean water and apply a leave-in conditioner before hitting the pool or ocean to protect your colour.
