Vivid Color Care
Shampooing & Styling
-
Wait 48 hours to wash or get wet.
-
Shampoo as little as possible and use dry shampoo. The longer between washes, the longer your color will last.
-
Use salon quality sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner with cool/cold water only.
-
Shampoo the scalp and condition the ends.
-
Use as little heat as possible. Turn down the temperature and use a heat protectant.
Staining
-
Your hair will stain fabrics when wet.
-
Avoid white or light-colored towels, bedding, cloth hair accessories, clothing (with deeper colors), etc.
-
Color may stain skin on hands and face. Most colors will come off with soap, water, and a little bit of rubbing.
-
We are not responsible for any staining on clothing, towels, bedding, etc.
Fading & Making
your Color Last
-
All vivid colors WILL fade over time.
-
Deeper/intense colors will last longer than pale/pastel colors that may come completely out by 4 shampoos.
-
Hard water may lead to faster fading.
-
Use a leave-in conditioner (with UV protection) to protect your color from the sun, chlorine, and saltwater.
-
Use a colored shampoo or mask to refresh color at-home.
Removing or Changing your Color
-
It is highly advised that you see a professional for this service.
-
Do NOT attempt to bleach out vivid colors. These colors do not penetrate the hair cuticle. They simply sit on top, like a stain. Putting bleach on can drive the color deeper into the hair and make removal difficult.
-
Start shampooing with warm/hot water as soon as possible before your appointment to jump start the removal process.
