Regularly colouring your hair can be expensive and time-consuming, so how can we make our hair colour stay fresh and bright for as long as possible?

Semi, demi or permanent

The type of colour treatment you use impacts on how long the colour lasts. Semi-permanent and demi-permanent hair colour is designed to wash out after a few washes. Permanent hair colour is designed to grow out – be aware that the colour will fade over time, so you’ll need to get your natural root regrowth touched up to avoid the silver halo look.

Look after your hair

One of the best way to prolong the colour in your colour is to look after your hair. Keeping it in tiptop condition with the help of conditioning treatments is critical.

Here are some more handy tips:

• Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools or spas which can be highly chlorinated. Chlorine (AKA bleach) will fade or change your colour.
• The sun will also fade your hair colour, so wear a hat outside.
• Don’t wash you hair everyday as this will speed up the fading process
