When putting time and money into having your hair colored, it is an investment you want to last and maintain.  Fighting the fade is necessary whether you’re getting sun-kissed balayage or pastel unicorn hair. We asked top stylists and the industry’s best color technicians at Julien Farel Salon and Spa, for their advice and these are the 7 best tips they have to share with you!

COLOR TIPS

#1. STEER CLEAR OF WATER AND SUN

To preserve your precious haircolor, don’t wash your hair in the first 24 hours and after, shampoo less frequently.  When you do shampoo, use a color safe shampoo without Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) and a vitamin rich conditioner.  Julien Farel Vitamin Shampoo has a unique color preserving formulation with hyaluronic acid for advanced hydration.  This miracle moisture molecule attracts and seals in moisture for touchable softness and manageability.  The Vitamin range of products also includes Vitamins B,C,E nourish and strengthen to prevent over-drying, make hair more resilient against breakage and environmental damage. – Aidan Harty

 

#2. TREAT AND PAMPER YOUR SCALP

Use Julien Farel Vitamin Restore as a treatment to protect your hair from environmental damages, such as sun exposure and pollution. – Jeremy Carta

     
#3. If you’re getting a drastic cut, always get the cut before the haircolor!  – Rudy Pena

      
#4. If you get Keratin, Brazilian treatments or De-Frizz Quick Treatments, give them one week in between the services to avoid altering your hair color.- Jasmin Rainieri

 

#5. If you go into pool water, always wet your hair before and add conditioner and after, do an apple cider vinegar rinse after (2 tablespoons of vinegar mixed with water), this will help to remove the chemicals from your hair and preserve your color! – Jasmin Rainieri

      
#6. Use a hat in the summer time to protect your hair and scalp. – Olivia Beyer

     
#7. Avoid using clarifying shampoos as they can strip off glosses. – Lila Carlino
