Q&A

You’ve just colored your hair and you love it! It’s the color you had in mind. But the thought of seeing your investment wash down the shower drain gives you palpitations. So, how can you prevent your hair color from fading too fast?

Choose the hair care regimen suited to your color

The products used must be suited to the hair color. Brown hair, blond hair and fashion colors (pink, blue, green, etc.) don’t have the same needs. The goal is to maintain the color by opting for pigmented hair care products that will banish undesirable tones.

Blond hair requires a purple shampoo and conditioner to neutralize yellow tones. Brunettes will need blue-tinted products. If you have a funkier color, you’ll love Keep Me Vivid by Matrix Total Results.

Give your hair tender, loving care

Coloring, lightening and highlighting all weaken hair. So it’s important to choose hair care products that will strengthen and moisturize and, indirectly, bring out your color.

Add a weekly hair mask to your routine to keep your hair shiny and soft. Our suggestions? Aloxxi Reparative Treatment Masque or L’Oreal Professionnel Absolut Repair.

Styling tools can alter coloring due to the pigment’s reaction to heat. Use a heat protectant like Moroccanoil Perfect Defense (and make sure to lower the temperature of your iron!).

Give “oomph” back to your color

It’s normal for hair color to fade after repeated shampooing. Fortunately, there are numerous pigmented care products to restore its intensity. These products are excellent for highlighting color, as well as adding shine and moisture.

Aloxxi Instaboost and Moroccanoil Color Depositing Masks are a perfect example! But if you’re looking for an offbeat color, then Jerome Russel’s Punky Color are just right for you.

In the end, success lies in using products suited to your hair color and needs.
