Getting your hair coloured can take a chunk out of your wallet and eat away at your free time so it’s no wonder you want the colour to last as long as possible. Many of you will be attending music festivals this Summer and if you've been before you'll know they sometimes are not the best friend for your hair colour. All that camping, changing weather and dancing to your favorite acts can take its toll so here are a few helpful tips on how to stop the fade!
1. Deep condition your hair several days before going to the salon. The better conditioned your hair is, the easier the colour will take and the longer it will last.
2. Don’t wash your hair right before you get it coloured. This is to allow the natural oils to build up so it can help grab onto the colour better. The natural oils also help to protect your scalp from the chemicals in the dye.
3. After you have your hair coloured go as long as you can without shampooing. This gives your hair time to absorb the colour completely.
4. Heat contributes to fading so use your styling tools as little as possible, and remember to use a heat protective spray.
5. Limit or avoid using styling products such as mousses and volumizing sprays as these strip and fade your hair colour.
7. Condition your hair regularly as it seals the hair shaft to keep the colour in.
