Maintaining your locks is essential for keeping them healthy and shiny. Here are a few tips on how to look after them:
1. Gentle shampoo and conditioner: Use products specially designed for coloured hair. They are often sulphate-free and help preserve colour.
2. Moisturise: Highlights can dry hair out, so apply moisturising hair masks or oils regularly to nourish and protect your strands.
3. Avoid excessive heat: Limit the use of heat appliances such as straightening or curling irons. If you do use them, apply a heat protection spray.
4. Rinse with cold water: After shampooing, rinsing with cold water can help close hair cuticles, making colour more vibrant.
5. Regular touch-ups: Depending on the technique used, touch-ups may be necessary every 6-8 weeks to maintain a fresh, well-maintained look.
6. Avoid the sun: The sun can discolour highlights. Wear a hat or use products with UV filters if you are often exposed to the sun.
7. Avoid harsh chemicals: Reduce the use of products containing alcohol or other harsh agents that can dry out hair.
8. Brush gently: Use a soft bristle brush and avoid pulling on strands to reduce breakage.
With these tips, your locks will stay healthy and shiny!
