As a trained and qualified hairstylist I am often asked by my wonderful clients how they can keep the colour and style to maintain that salon look at their own home. To answer their question I will go through brushing techniques and products that they will need.One very important product that is often overlooked is the product of coloured hair shampoos. Coloured shampoos contain ingredients that gently colour as well as adding body, brilliance and shine.
Coloured shampoos contain colour tones that attach to cells providing a gentle colouring action that lifts the desired colour of your hair.
For women who are starting to turn gray, blonde coloured shampoo will neutralise yellow golden tones gently reducing the effect of grey hair.
If your hair is dark brown in colour, a brown coloured shampoo will add tones to the cells, no matter if the strand is becoming dull or it is turning grey. With normal use the gentle action of adding the tones to your hair from shampooing, you will find that over time, even from your first wash that your colour will return gradually.
It is this gentle colouring effect, that when you have your hair dyed that your personal stylist will recommend to you a coloured shampoo to maintain the colour.
With the addition of conditioners in colour shampoos you will find your hair has more bounce and brilliance. Thus, you will need to add less conditioner product after shampooing.
Remember, a common mistake leading to dull lifeless hair, is adding too much conditioner and failing to rinse well.
Women in their forties and fifties have at hand a sound and proven product in coloured shampoos. Maintaining hair that is suffering from the aging process is as simple as adding a shampoo to your maintenance routine that will gently tone your hair.
