Use A Professional Colour Shampoo & Conditioner

Using professional hair care products and treatments for dyed hair will help lock in colour and resist fading to preserve its vibrancy long after you leave the salon. Chat with your Gusto stylist who will happily recommend the most suitable shampoo, conditioner & styling products for your hair type.

It's important to keep coloured hair moisturised by having regular deep conditioning hair treatments. This will prevent it from looking dull and drab. When your hair is properly moisturised, it will make your hair colour look fresh and healthy, improve shine and help the hair colour to last longer! 

We highly recommend Olaplex in salon treatments and take home products.  Each specially formulated Olaplex product packs a real punch allowing tired, lacklustre locks to shine bold and bright once again. Olaplex’s patented bond-building chemistry works to rebuild hair from the inside out, repair broken bonds and hydrate the hair.  

Reduce How Often You Wash Your Hair

The expert stylists at Gusto salons in Soho, Oxford St & Covent Garden, recommend you reduce how often you wash your hair. Try washing your locks just 2-3 times a week to avoid colour fade and stripping the hair of natural oils. 

When washing your hair, focus on shampooing the roots rather than the mid-lengths to the ends of your hair. The root is where the sediment build-up happens which causes hair to look greasy. If you wash the mid-lengths to the tips of your hair too much then you will strip the hair colour away. Shampoo your roots and then apply conditioner to the mid-lengths to ends of your hair for longer-lasting hair colour.

Turn Down The Heat!

Hot water can reduce the vibrancy of your hair colour as hot water opens the hair cuticle and releases the colour. To protect your hair colour try washing your hair at room temperature and blast your hair with cold water after shampooing and conditioning to seal the cuticle and lock in your hair colour.

If you have to use heated styling tools such as tongs, straighteners or a curling wand, turn the temperature down if possible and make sure to use a heat protectant spray if you want your fresh new hair colour to last!
