Your hair color is a big investment; your home care regimen should be too! We sometimes spend hours at the salon working to achieve that perfect color, so it is very important that we are using the essential products to ensure our hair will stay as vibrant, long-lasting, and healthy as possible.
WASH + CONDITION
One of the absolutely most important first steps in your hair care regimen is to wash and condition your hair. It is important to only use shampoo and conditioner that is safe for color-treated hair, as other shampoos may have sulfates that easily strip the color out of your hair, causing it to fade. We highly recommend Christophe Robin’s Color Shield Shampoo and Color Shield Mask. Both of these products are rich in natural antioxidant vitamins that protect the hair fiber against everyday oxidative stress (UV, pollution, chlorine…) as well as an acidic pH that works to seal the hair cuticle, in turn preventing loss of pigments and preserving color intensity and shine over time.
BREAK UP WITH HEAT STYLING
We know it can be one of the hardest habits to break, but it is so crucial in protecting your hair color. Heat-styling can fade hair color, so if you must use hot tools, make sure to keep the temperature down and use a heat protectant. We highly recommend Christophe Robin’s Regenerating Serum with Prickly Pear Oil. Prickly pear seed oil is one of the richest vegetal sources of omegas and amino acids. This oil protects your hair from artificial heat up to 440 degrees, while improving the appearance of frizz and split-ends. Your hair will feel regenerated, smoothed, and intensely nourished! In addition, there are many heatless styles that are great for achieving beachy waves or curls. Simply braiding your hair and letting it dry into crimpy beach waves is such an effortlessly easy way to get styled without the heat. Sock-curls or flexi-rods are also great options as well.
LEAVE-IN HYDRATION
For most of us with lightened or color-treated hair, you know our hair needs all the moisture it can get! Don’t skip the important step of leaving in a hydrator. This will help to nurture the hair fiber, while leaving your hair with a nourished and brighter-looking finish. We highly recommend Christophe Robin’s Anti-Frizz Rescue Milk with Shea Butter. This nurturing formula is enriched in shea butter, rich in vitamins, omega 3 and 6 helps hair appear healthier and softer. Hair will become more manageable, supple, making blow-drying easier and styling a breeze.
We offer hair coloring services from Balayage to all-over color and everything in between. Our colorists work with your features, skin tone, and natural hair texture to create a custom look that complements you and works for your lifestyle.
