Top 10 Aftercare Tips After Your Hair Appointment
1. Wait Before Washing
Avoid washing your hair for at least 48–72 hours after a colour to let the product fully settle and bond.
2. Use Salon-Quality Shampoo & Conditioner
Protect your investment by using sulphate-free and colour-safe products. Depending on what your hair needs, we can prescribe to you if we haven’t already a hair routine that will fore fill all your hair needs.
3. Avoid Hot Water
Hot water opens the cuticle and fades colour. Always rinse your hair with lukewarm or cool water to keep it looking fresh.
4. Heat Styling
Make sure when ever you apply heat to your hair (blowdryers, irons etc) you always apply a heat protectant thoroughly and brush through, this will help with any damage that heat tools create in your hair, we also suggest only using heat tools once to twice per week.
5. Sleep Smart
Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce frizz, breakage, and preserve your blow wave or style overnight.
6. Brush Gently
Use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush, especially when your hair is wet. Avoid tugging to prevent breakage and no vigorous towel drying either.
7. Use a leave in product
Just like you need a moisturiser on your face, your hair is the same. To lock ultimate moisture into your hair, let us diagnose you a leave in product that will give your hair the extra support it needs.
8. Protect from Sun & Chlorine
Wear a hat or use a UV protectant spray in the sun. If swimming, we recommend washing it immediately after with your full haircare routine to elimiate the chlorine or salt.
9. Don’t Over-Wash
Washing 1–3 times per week is ideal. Overwashing strips natural oils and fades colour. Dry shampoo is your friend! Our recommendations are the k18 dry shampoo or Evo water killer
10. Do not tie your hair up wet
This is a big factor to breakage and matting at the back of your hair so make sure not to tie your hair up or go to bed with wet or damp hair
