Keeping your freshly colored hair looking vibrant and rich can be a challenge. Your daily haircare routine and the environment ultimately take its toll. Products formulated to enhance color may give you just the added boost you need. Similar to color protection products, color-enhancing products will add a layer of protection to resist fading and promote color depth and vibrancy. In addition, color-enhancing products will add color deposits to complement your permanent, semi-permanent or natural hair color.
- Choosing the Right Color Enhancing Products…
Color enhancing products are available as shampoo, conditioner and styling aids. All of these products are available for the spectrum of hair colors including blondes, browns, and reds. The challenge is selecting the right tone to match your hair. As a general rule, warm hair tones will have hints of red or gold. Cool tones will have hints of ash, silver or platinum. If you aren’t sure, you can also check your eye color. Generally, blue and green eyes suggest cool, while brown and hazel eyes point to warm. The absence of these tones suggests a neutral hair color.
- Other ways to Protect that Hair Color… Swimming pools can wreak havoc on colored hair. Rinse (even better to shampoo) your hair immediately after swimming to remove any chlorine. If you are in the sun, protect your hair with a leave-in conditioner containing sunscreen. When using any hot tools, try a thermal protecting spray to improve styling control and minimize moisture loss.
