How to Maintain Your Hair Color Between Salon Visits
(By Cristiana Wallace – Palm Coast Hairstylist)
Beautiful hair color doesn’t end the day you leave the salon — it's an ongoing journey.
When you invest in your hair, I want you to enjoy that fresh, vibrant feeling for as long as possible! 🌿
Here are my top tips to help you maintain your hair color, keep your hair healthy, and feel confident between visits.
1. Choose the Right Products
The products you use at home make a huge difference in how long your color lasts.
I always recommend using professional, color-safe shampoos and conditioners — free of harsh sulfates and packed with nourishing ingredients.
If you’re unsure what’s best for your specific hair type, feel free to ask me during your visit or reach out anytime. I'm happy to guide you toward healthy, eco-friendly choices!
2. Wash Less, Hydrate More
Frequent washing can strip your color and dry out your hair, especially with Florida’s humidity working against us.
Aim to shampoo 2–3 times a week with lukewarm or cool water.
In between washes, a great dry shampoo and a hydrating leave-in conditioner can be your best friends to maintain softness, shine, and volume.
3. Always Use Heat Protection
I know how much we all love a polished blowout, but heat styling can fade color faster if you're not careful.
Before using a blow dryer, curling iron, or flat iron, always apply a heat protectant spray.
And remember — you don’t need the highest heat setting to get a gorgeous style! Keeping the heat moderate protects your color and your hair's natural strength.
4. Refresh Your Color Regularly
To keep your color looking its best, I recommend scheduling quick gloss or toning sessions between full color appointments.
A gloss or toner can revive faded tones, boost shine, and refresh your hair without full processing.
Most of my Palm Coast clients come in every 6–8 weeks for these easy, healthy refreshes.
5. Protect Your Hair from the Sun and Chlorine
Living in sunny Palm Coast is wonderful — but UV rays and pool chlorine can be tough on colored hair.
Whenever possible, wear a hat, use hair UV protection sprays, and rinse your hair with clean water before swimming.
These small habits can make a huge difference in preserving your beautiful color all year round!
Healthy Hair, Happy You 🌿
Maintaining your color isn’t just about looks — it’s about keeping your hair healthy, radiant, and strong.
By making a few simple adjustments to your routine, you can enjoy salon-fresh color longer and protect the health of your hair between visits.
