Your hair color isn’t just a shade; it’s a message. It can be hard to keep that just-out-of-the-salon look, whether you picked a bright red, a sun-kissed blonde, a deep brown, or a bright color that isn’t natural. At Coimbatore’s Toni & Guy, we think that the right way to care for your hair can keep your color bright and healthy for longer. This is the best way to protect your hair and keep its color.
👉 Why Hair Colour Fades So Fast
Hair colour tends to fade due to a few common reasons:
- Exposure to Sunlight: UV rays strip away pigment from your hair.
- Frequent Washing: Regular shampooing, especially with harsh products, can wash away the colour.
- Heat Styling: Flat irons, curlers, and dryers can dull your colour.
- Water Quality: Hard water with high mineral content can cause fading.
Understanding these factors helps you take the right preventive steps.
🧼 After-Colour Care: What to Do in the First 72 Hours
- Avoid washing your hair for at least 72 hours after colouring.
- Use a sulfate-free shampoo when you do wash.
- Skip heat styling tools as much as possible in the first few days.
This helps the hair cuticle to close and lock in the pigment for longer-lasting colour.
💛 Use Colour-Safe Products
Not all shampoos and conditioners are created equal! Choose:
- Sulfate-free Shampoos: These preserve hair moisture and colour.
- Colour-Protecting Conditioners: They form a shield over your hair.
- Weekly Hair Masks: Deep conditioning once a week keeps your hair nourished.
Toni & Guy Coimbatore offers a wide range of salon-grade colour-safe products that are tailor-made for Indian hair.
🌞 Say Yes to Cold Water
Hot water may feel relaxing, but it’s not your coloured hair’s best friend. Use cold or lukewarm water for:
- Rinsing shampoos and conditioners
- Closing your hair cuticles
- Preventing pigment from escaping
This simple change extends the life of your colour noticeably!
✨ Limit Heat Styling
Excessive heat damages your hair and fades your colour. Try to:
- Let your hair air-dry as much as possible
- Use a heat protectant spray before styling
- Opt for low-heat settings on tools
At Toni & Guy Coimbatore, our stylists recommend professional blow-dry services that are gentle on colour-treated hair.
🌿 Nourish from the Inside
Healthy hair starts with a healthy diet. For long-lasting shine and colour:
Include proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins (A, C, E)
Drink plenty of water daily
Avoid stress, as it contributes to hair dullness
Good internal health always reflects in your hair!
🚰 Shield Your Hair from Sun & Pollution
Living in Coimbatore means sun exposure and pollution are part of everyday life. Here’s what you can do:
- Wear a scarf or hat while stepping out
- Use UV-protectant hair sprays
- Rinse hair with clean water after coming back home
These small steps prevent external damage and help retain colour.
💄 Schedule Regular Touch-Ups
Even with the best care, colour eventually fades. Don’t wait for your hair to look dull:
- Root touch-ups every 4 to 6 weeks
- Full colour refresh every 8 to 10 weeks
- Gloss or toner treatment for shine in between
