Simple Ways To Maintain Your Colour, Condition And Style Between Appointments at Bliss Hair Salons in Nottingham and Loughborough
Want to keep that fresh-from-the-salon feeling for longer? A few easy changes to your homecare routine, along with the right maintenance appointments, can help your hair stay glossy, healthy and beautifully styled.
Key Takeaways
- Use professional homecare recommended for your hair.
- Turn down the heat and always apply heat protection.
- Book a toner between larger colour appointments.
- Ask your Bliss stylist about a colour conditioner for home.
Use The Right Shampoo And Conditioner
The products you use at home can make a noticeable difference to the condition, colour and manageability of your hair.
A shampoo that is too cleansing may cause coloured hair to fade more quickly, while heavy products can leave finer hair looking flat. Blonde, brunette, copper, vivid, curly and dry hair all have different needs, so there is no single routine that works for everyone.
Ask your Bliss stylist to recommend the best shampoo and conditioner for your hair. A few carefully chosen products used consistently will usually give better results than constantly changing your routine.
Turn Down The Heat
We love a beautifully styled finish, but excessive heat can gradually leave your hair looking dry, dull and more vulnerable to breakage.
Always apply heat protection before using your hairdryer, straighteners or curling tools. Try reducing the temperature and avoid repeatedly styling the same section of hair. You can still create a smooth, long-lasting finish without automatically reaching for the highest setting.
Giving your hair an occasional break from heated tools will also help it retain moisture and shine.
Book A Toner Between Colour Appointments
You do not always need a complete colour appointment to make your hair feel fresh again. A professional toner can revive your existing shade, boost shine and soften unwanted tones between larger colour services.
A toner appointment is ideal if your blonde has started to look brassy, your brunette needs more richness or your copper is losing some of its vibrancy. Your Bliss colourist will choose a toner that works with your current shade and gives it a beautifully refreshed finish.
It is a quick and effective way to keep your colour looking polished while you wait for your next full appointment.
Ask Your Bliss Stylist About A Colour Conditioner
A colour conditioner can help maintain your shade at home by depositing a small amount of colour while conditioning your hair.
These products can be particularly helpful for copper, red, brunette, blonde and vivid shades, but it is important to use the right one. The wrong tone or an overly pigmented product could alter your colour and make your next salon appointment more complicated.
Ask your Bliss stylist to recommend a suitable colour conditioner and show you how often to use it. We can help you protect your colour without the guesswork.
Protect Your Hair From Everyday Damage
Sunlight, wind, rain, central heating and friction from clothing can all affect the way your hair looks and feels. Autumn weather can be particularly unpredictable, with damp conditions encouraging frizz and indoor heating contributing to dryness.
A leave-in conditioner, smoothing product or nourishing treatment can provide extra protection where needed. Be gentle when detangling wet hair and try to avoid tight hairstyles that place unnecessary tension on fragile areas.
Regular trims will also remove tired ends and help your hairstyle keep its shape.
Keep Up With Regular Maintenance Appointments
Try not to wait until your colour has completely faded or your hairstyle has lost its shape before returning to the salon.
Your Bliss stylist can recommend a realistic maintenance plan based on your haircut, colour and usual routine. This might include regular trims, toner appointments or professional conditioning treatments between your larger services.
