Color Aftercare

Below are my preliminary and general regimen and product recommendations. Please note that all choices are based upon the quality of products that can penetrate inside the cuticle and the amount of slip, moisture, and strength provided. Please note that these are general aftercare instructions, so please refer to any direct instructions provided at your visit and feel free to email me if you have any questions.  

I will first outline the regimen steps needed and provide product recommendations after. Understanding a healthy regimen is KEY to having a healthy color journey. The products needed just fill in for the steps needed. 

Moisture/Strength Balance 

​When most people think of color health, they think of moisture only, but color needs a balance between moisture and strength. Remember that while your color was done in a healthy manner, your cuticle has been gently opened. Strengthening/repairing/fortifying (common words used) involves elements in products that fill in these small openings in the cuticle to ensure the hair stays strong and moisture doesn't escape. Make sure the products used for deep conditioning ensure that the hair does feel softer after usage. When strengthening, make sure the hair does not feel dry/brittle as a result of strengthening. A rule of thumb is to deep condition most of the time and strengthen at least every 4-6 weeks (4 weeks with blonde color or finer hair).
