Colour Services
After a hair colouring service, I would advise a treatment this is recommended to help protect, nourish, and maintain the colour. Colouring can damage the hair’s cuticle, and treatments can help to seal it back, improving the hair’s overall health and the vibrancy of the colour.
Here’s why treatments are often recommended:
Here’s why treatments are often recommended:
Hair Damage
Regular trims remove split ends, preventing them from traveling up the hair shaft and causing further damage.
Achieves Desired Styles
Colouring processes, especially lightening and bleaching, can open the hair’s cuticle, causing damage and dryness.
Colour Fading
Treatments help to seal the hair cuticle, which can help prevent the colour from fading quickly.
Maintaining Colour
Specific treatments, like those designed for colour-treated hair, can help to prolong the vibrancy of the colour.
Hydration
Hair can become dry and brittle after colouring, so treatments can help to replenish moisture and improve overall health.
Preventing Brassy Undertones:
Some treatments, like toners, can be used to eliminate unwanted brassiness or warm undertones that can appear after lightening or colouring.
In essence, treatments after a colour service help to minimise damage, maintain colour vibrancy, and improve the overall health and appearance of the hair.
After a hair colour service, it’s recommended to use a sulphate-free shampoo specifically designed for colour-treated hair to help preserve the colour and prevent it from fading. Sulphate-free shampoos are gentler and less likely to strip the hair of its colour and natural oils.

Why Sulfate-Free is Important
Color Preservation
Sulphates can cause hair colour to fade more quickly.
Gentle Cleaning
Sulphate-free shampoos are formulated to cleanse the hair effectively without being harsh, which can be important for maintaining the health and vibrancy of colour-treated hair.
Silicone-Free Options
Some sulphate-free shampoos are also silicone-free, which can further benefit colour-treated hair by preventing buildup and allowing the colour to last longer.
Specific Shampoo Recommendations
Color-Protect Shampoos
Many brands offer shampoos specifically designed to protect and enhance colour.
Purple Shampoos
If you have blonde, silver, or platinum hair, purple shampoos can help neutralise brassy or yellow tones and keep your colour vibrant.
Antioxidant-Rich Shampoos
Antioxidants can help protect your hair colour from fading and free radical damage.
Tips for Maintaining Colour
Wait Before Washing
Avoid washing your hair for 24-72 hours after a colour service to allow the colour to set.
Wash Less Often
Washing your hair too frequently can cause colour to fade more quickly.
