7 Mistakes you’re making when
you leave the salon
1. Washing Your Hair Too Soon After Your Appointment - Your toner needs time to settle, so avoid washing your hair for at least 1-2 days to maintain the color’s vibrancy.
2. Using the Wrong Hair Products at Home - Salon-quality products are specifically designed to preserve your color and keep your hair healthy. Drugstore alternatives can lead to dullness or even damage over time.
3. Not Pre-Booking Your Next Service Before You Leave - Maintaining your look requires consistency. Booking touch-ups such as trims, treatments, or glossing sessions helps prolong your results and keep your hair looking fresh between major appointments.
4. Overwashing Your Hair - Washing your hair too frequently can strip natural oils and fade color faster.
Stick to 2-3 washes per week and opt for a dry shampoo in between to extend your style and keep your hair looking fresh.
5. Skipping Regular Deep Conditioning Treatments - Color-treated hair needs extra moisture to stay healthy and shiny. Incorporate a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask into your routine every 1-2 weeks to prevent dryness and breakage.
6. Skipping Heat Protectant in Your Routine - Protecting your hair from heat damage is crucial—be sure to use a heat protectant every time you style with hot tools.
7. Getting in the Pool or Ocean Without Prepping Your Hair - Dry hair is like a sponge, absorbing chemicals or salt that can alter your tone. Always saturate your hair with clean water or apply a leave-in conditioner before swimming. Tip: Create a DIY spray by mixing water and conditioner
