5 Ways to Make Your Color Last Longer

You left the chair with perfect color — here’s how to keep it that way.

1. Wait 48 hours to wash

Giving the cuticle time to seal after coloring helps the pigment hold. Skip the first wash if you can.

2. Turn down the temperature

Hot water opens the cuticle and rinses color out faster. Lukewarm washes and a cool final rinse make a real difference.

3. Use sulfate-free, color-safe products

Harsh detergents strip color. A gentle, color-safe shampoo and conditioner is the single biggest thing you can do at home.

4. Protect from the sun

UV fades color just like it fades fabric. A hat or a UV-protectant spray on beach days goes a long way.

5. Stretch your washes

The less you wash, the longer color lasts. A good dry shampoo is your best friend between appointments.
