Keep your colour feeling fresh.

Start with a routine for your colour

Ask for a shampoo and conditioner suited to your colour and hair condition. Follow their directions rather than adding more products at random. If you have also had a smoothing or keratin service, mention it so the salon can discuss a routine that fits both treatments.

Be gentle when drying and styling

• Squeeze out excess water gently with a soft towel or cotton T-shirt instead of rubbing roughly.
• Ask about a suitable detangling method and use a wide-toothed comb gently where appropriate.
• Use a suitable heat protectant before heated styling and follow the product and tool instructions.
• Choose a lower drying temperature where it works for your hair and desired finish.

Ask before changing your tone

A colour-care routine and a tone-correcting product do different jobs. Before choosing a purple shampoo, toner or another colour product, describe what has changed and show your hair in natural light. Ask whether the shade needs home care, a salon refresh or simply a different styling approach.

Plan a refresh around your hair

There is no universal number of weeks for every colour appointment. Your shade, placement, regrowth and preferred finish all matter. If your hair feels different, tell the salon before booking another colour service and discuss what care to prioritise. Keep a note of the colour and treatments you have had so your next consultation starts with useful context.
