color maintenance 

General tip for Any & All Hair Colors

  • Wait 24-48+ hours before washing.

  • Use sulfate free shampoo. Click here for recommendations 

  • The sun will fade your color.  Invest in a good hat if you'll be spending time in the sun. 

  • Chlorine is the enemy.  Pool, jacuzzi, and ocean water will fade or even strip your color.

  • Wash with cold or luke warm water.  Hot water opens the cuticles allowing the color to escape sending your $$  down the drain.

  • Use conditioner always!  Every time you get your hair wet.

Blondes, Caramel, Highlights, & Balayage 

  • Purple Shampoo - cancels yellow, great for blondes, natural blondes, and salt/pepper hair 

  • Blue Shampoo - cancels orange, great for caramels, ash out or make silver on blondes.

  • Wait a minimum of 4 weeks before using purple or blue shampoos.

  • Your conditioner should be hydrating, if your hair is overly stretchy the you need one that focuses on repairing.

Mermaids, Unicorns, Fun Colors 

  • Try to wash your hair as minimal as possible. 1-2 days a week.  1 day a week is ideal for optimal longevity.  Dry shampoo is your friend.

  • Wash with COLD water, warm & hot water will rinse the color.

  • Avoid swimming pools, the ocean, and jacuzzis.  They will strip the color out. 

  • Request a custim Olaplex Color Bomb to  help replenish the color and treat your hair.

  • Your color will fade a little bit each time when you get your hair wet.

  • Freshy colored hair will bleed so be prepared.  Wear darker clothing and use a dark silk pillow case.  

  • Do not use the viral shampoo line it will dry your hair out.  The conditioner is great, highly recommend!  

  • Turn your curling iron and flat iron temperature down.  The lower settings are ideal.

  • Try different "updo" techniques when your hair is dirty/greasy;  fun color is an optical illusion when it comes to bad hair days. 

  • Do not use purple or blue shampoo on your semi permanent fun color hair it will fade alot faster. Those products are meant for highlighted hair.
