Models Direct’s Guide On Keeping Coloured Hair Vibrant

Feb. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- If you fancy a change too and are planning on going red like Khloe Kardashian, brunette like Alicia Silverstone or ice blonde like Ashlee Simpson, then you’ll need to know how to keep your coloured locks vibrant and 'salon fresh' for longer.

Luckily, we're here to the rescue!

So read on for Models Direct’s (http://www.modelsdirect.com) top maintenance tips for coloured hair…

Condition…

Whether you’ve turned blonde, red, brown or even blue, specific colour-care shampoos and conditioners help maintain a juicy looking colour. One of Models Direct’s favourites has to be Tigi Bed Head’s Colour Combat range. They lock in colour and fight the three arch enemies of colour fade - water, heat and UV.

Shade the sun…

Although any good haircare product made for coloured hair should contain ingredients that will help to protect from UV rays - which not only damage hair, but discolour pigment causing colour fade - it’s important to go that extra step and wear a hat if you’re planning on being exposed to strong sunlight for a while.

Protect from the heat…

It’s not just the light that can cause colour fade, but also heat. Heat degrades the colour molecule, which causes colour fade and can damage fragile hair. To avoid this, try to blow dry your hair on a lower heat setting or let it dry it naturally if possible – it may take longer, but will be worth it in the end.  

Be wary of swimming…

Of course, swimming is great for your fitness, so we’re not dissuading you completely – but if you want to protect your colour, then always wear a swimming cap and condition your hair before entering the pool. This is because chlorine can cause a lot of damage and colour loss to dyed hair.
