How to maintain your hair between salon visits
I think I speak for all girls....
....when I say how amazing it feels to leave a salon after getting a new colour and a bouncy blow dry from your hair stylist, only to be back to bad hair days when you try to style your own hair a week later!
1. Choose your shampoo wisely.
Using a shampoo that suits your hair is very important. If your hair is coloured you should be using a colour save shampoo to prolong the life of your colour. Most colour brands have a shampoo to compliment them; ask your stylist which one you should be using.
The one I use is Milk_shakes Colour Maintainer shampoo as it is a Milk_shake Colour I have in my hair. This keeps my hair vibrant and protects my colour from fading. For blondes, my go-to shampoo is Milk_Shake Silver Shine. I use it on all my blonde clients and I LOVE it. It removes brassy or unwanted yellow tones that every blonde fears and leaves you with healthy shiny looking hair.
3. Protect your hair!!
Hair dryers, straighteners, curlers etc. are no doubt our saving graces but they can cause a lot of damage to our hair if overused. That's why using a heat defense spray is always a good idea and it is super easy to apply! Wellas Thermal Image is a 2-phase spray.
Phase 1 is formulated to nourish hair and protect it from heat up to 220 degrees C, Phase 2 smooths your hair for a flawless shiny result. Spray section by section at arm’s length before styling.
Tip: If buying a Heat defence spray, make sure it protects to the same degree you use on your hair straightener!
2. Treat your hair!!
Pamper yourself once a week with a hair mask; allocate 30 minutes of your evening while watching telly to apply a treatment. Our hair goes through a lot in a week: from chemicals to heat tools to styling, and this effects the condition of our hair if we don't re hydrate it.
My favourite mask is Wellas Luminous Reboost Mask from their Oil Reflections Range. It nourishes and replenishes hair structure leaving the hair smooth and luminous. It also smells incredible which is always a huge bonus!!!!
4. Don’t be a stranger.
Do not leave it too long before your next appointment. Nothing beats the professional service your hair gets in the salon and your hair stylist is not a magician, help them to help you and you will notice the difference in your hair immediately.
So three little investments that won't break the bank and you will definitely see benefits from...
1. A PROFESSIONAL Shampoo that specifically suits your hair.
2. A Mask/Treatment that once again is specific to your hair and you can use once a week.
3. A heat defence spray that will protect your hair from hot tools and heat damage.
