if you're wearing a bold platinum blonde, deep chocolate brown, or vibrant pastel shade, maintaining the freshness of your salon look is difficult without proper attention and direction.
On this site, we'll provide professional tips and secrets of Becca's Salon Suite on how to keep your hair looking amazing for several weeks (and even for months!) when you've left the chair at the salon.
Why Hair Color Maintenance Matters
Coloring your hair professionally is an investment not only in terms of money, but also emotionally. The shade of your hair can be an expression of your personality as well as your character and even your mood. If you don't take the proper treatment, even gorgeous colors could rapidly fade, dull or even become unbalanced.
We at Becca's Salon Suite, we understand the effort that is required to achieve your ideal shade. This is why we train our customers on the best ways to take care for their hair between appointments. Some simple habits could dramatically improve your hair's longevity and the vibrancy in your hair.
Start With a Strong Foundation
The whole process begins at Salon chairs. Here at Becca's Salon Suite, we employ only the finest professional color lines specifically designed for longevity and energy. Hair Color Fresh and Consistent Our skilled stylists will take time to evaluate the health of your hair, and then customize the color process according to the type of hair you have and the texture.
Prior to applying color, it is common to recommend treatments to help to strengthen and prep your hair, especially in the event that it's been treated or has a tendency to dryness. Hair that is healthy holds color better and the results you get will be smoother and beautiful.
Pro Tips: Always trust a expert for your first color job. Home-made dyes can cause uneven results as well as damages that are challenging (and costly!) to correct to repair.
Wait Before You Wash
Following the color treatment in Becca's Salon Suite you must be patient for at minimum at least 48 hours prior to washing your hair. This allows the cuticle to completely close and seal within the coloring. If you wash too quickly, it can lead to an early fading process and an uneven color.
In the first few days, stay away from excessive sweating, swimming or anything else that may make your hair swollen with water.
Pro TIP: If you must shower, make sure you use an enclosure for your shower to safeguard the locks that have just been colored!
Choose Color-Safe Products
The most frequent mistaken choices made by people is to use products that are harsh and can cause color loss. For your shade to remain vibrant make sure you make use of products specifically designated Hair Color Fresh and Consistent or "sulfate-free."
Here at Becca's Salon Suite offers an extensive range of salon-quality professional shampoos, conditioners and treatments that can be customized to different hair textures and colors. Our stylists will be happy to help you choose the best range of products for your particular needs.
Pro Tips: Sulfates, which are found in a variety of drugstore shampoos, are the most common source for taking color away. Always check your labels!
Cool It Down
The hot water can be a great feeling on an icy day, but it's not exactly your hair's best friend. Warm water opens up the cuticle of hair, which allows the color molecules to leave. If you want to keep your color for longer time, wash your hair thoroughly with cold or cool drinking water instead.
The small tweak can make an enormous difference. It also makes your hair shiny and less rough all-around.
Pro Tips: Finish every wash with a swift blast of cool water to help seal with color and water.
Wash Less, Love More
The more often the hair is washed the quicker your shade will begin to fade. It is recommended to extend the time between shampoos up to each 2-3 days when you are able. If your hair does be oily, a dry shampoo could be an absolute saver.
In Becca's Salon Suite, we provide dry shampoos with a light texture that revitalize your hair without weighing your hair down and creating a sticky residue.
Pro TIP: Wearing your hair with loose buns, braids, or ponytails will help you increase the length of your hair and decrease the look of oil after washes.
Protect Your Hair From the Sun
Like your skin, your hair also needs protection against UV radiation. The sun's rays may cause the beautiful hue to fade and oxidize quicker than you'd prefer.
When you plan to go outside wearing a fashionable headband or use a UV-protective hair spray. Here at Becca's Salon Suite We can suggest treatment options that will protect your hair's strands from damaging environmental factors.
Pro Tips: Consider SPF-infused hair products for summertime or any time you travel to sunny places.
Minimize Heat Styling
The frequent use of curling wands, flat irons as well as blow-dryers can dry out your hair and cause the color to fade. Although we fully appreciate the desire for beautiful, well-styled hair, we suggest the use of heat tools in a controlled manner.
Always use an protection from heat prior to styling. Also, choose for less heat setting when it is possible. Make sure to air dry whenever possible!
Pro Tip Here at Becca's Salon Suite We offer heat-protectant products to provide nourishment to your hair and protect your hair's color.
Schedule Regular Glosses and Touch-Ups
Even even with the best treatments, the color of your hair will naturally diminish over time. The use of gloss treatments is a great option to keep your hair looking fresh in between appointment. The gloss provides a stunning color wash, increases the shine of your hair, as well as restoring the vibrancy of your hair.
The team in Becca's Salon Suite can customize the color of your existing shade, or modify it a bit when you're ready for some subtle changes.
We recommend scheduling frequent touch-ups to ensure the same style, particularly if you are experiencing gray hair or stark hue contrasts.
Pro Tips: Set up your next appointment prior to leaving the salon so that you stay clear of any regrowth and fade!
Deep Condition Like a Pro
The hair that is colored with color needs moisture. Deep conditioning treatments each week will help restore moisture, repair damaged hair, and help maintain your hair's color in a salon-like state.
In Becca's Salon Suite We offer expert deep conditioning treatments, and we will recommend home-based masques that are ideal for the hair's specific shade and texture.
Pro TIP: Incorporate a moisturizing mask in your routine of self-care. Set a fire, drink the glass of wine and then treat yourself to a pampering night
