You've left the salon with gorgeous, glossy colour — now the goal is to keep it that way for as long as possible. Colour fades fastest in the first few weeks, but the right routine can keep it vibrant and shiny right up to your next appointment.
Here's how our colourists in Warsaw recommend protecting your investment.
Wait 48–72 hours before washing
Give freshly applied colour time to set into the hair before the first wash. Washing too soon can rinse pigment away before it fully bonds.
Use colour-safe, sulphate-free products
Sulphates strip colour quickly. A sulphate-free, colour-protecting shampoo and conditioner are essential for keeping tone and shine.
Turn down the heat
Hot water and high-heat styling fade colour and dull shine. Wash with cooler water and always use a heat protectant when styling.
Protect from the sun
UV light oxidises and fades colour, especially blondes and reds. A hat or a UV-protective hair product helps on sunny days.
Tone and treat
Ask your colourist about a toning shampoo to neutralise brassiness, and use a weekly mask to keep coloured hair nourished and glossy.
