Use Colour-Safe Shampoos & Conditioners
One of the most crucial steps in maintaining hair colour is choosing the right shampoo and conditioner. Sulphates are harsh detergents found in many shampoos that can strip hair of its natural oils and colour. Using sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners helps protect your hair colour from fading.
Colour-treated hair also needs extra moisture to stay healthy and vibrant. So make sure to look for hydrating formulas that nourish your hair and lock in colour. Washing your hair with hot water can open the hair cuticle and cause colour to wash out. Use cool or lukewarm water to rinse your hair and help seal the cuticle, keeping your colour intact.
If you're not sure which shampoos and conditioners you should be using on your hair, you can always ask a member of our friendly team at Hair Oasis for their top recommendations!
Minimise Heat Styling
Excessive heat styling can cause hair colour to fade faster. If you must use heat styling tools, always make sure to apply a heat protectant spray or serum beforehand. These products create a barrier that protects your hair from high temperatures.
You should try to reduce the frequency of heat styling. Embrace natural textures or use no-heat styling methods like braids or buns to achieve your desired look. When using heat tools, opt for lower temperature settings to minimise damage and colour fade.
Protect Your Hair From The Sun
UV rays can break down hair colour molecules, which leads to fading. Covering your hair with a hat or scarf when spending extended periods outdoors can protect it from direct sun exposure. Use should also use hair care products that contain UV filters. These sprays or leave-in conditioners provide an extra layer of protection against the sun's damaging rays.
Avoid Over-Washing
Frequent washing can strip hair colour and natural oils. Try to wash your hair less often, using dry shampoo to refresh your roots in between washes. This helps maintain your hair's natural oils and colour. When you do wash your hair, be gentle. Avoid rough scrubbing, which can damage the hair cuticle and cause colour to fade.
