Tips to Preserving your Hair Colour by Schwarzkopf Professional

Tips that hair professionals use to preserve hair colour.


“With the winters we experience in Canada, we expose our hair to a lot of dry heat in the car, home and office. A leave-in spray conditioner will absolutely protect against static and that will protect your hair colour.” – Heidi, Shear Bliss; Mordon, MB

“Allow your shampoo to sit in your hair for one to two minutes before rinsing. This allows all the protective ingredients to deposit into the hair structure. After shampooing, towel-dry your hair until you have removed about 50 per cent of the water. Apply the conditioner; gently massage into your roots down to the ends, leaving it on for seven minutes. As you move your fingers to your ends, gently close your fingers and drag conditioner to ensure you have closed the cuticle. This means more protection and beautiful colour.” – Will Halabi, Chrome SpaSalon & Beauty Lounge; Edmonton, AB

“You should use the BC Color Save line including BC Colored Ends. Then, try to wash your hair every second day. That will really seal the cuticle down and help to seal the colour in.” – John Sebastian, Studio Bob & Pine; Trois Riviers, QC

“If you’re going to spend your time and money on quality hair colouring treatments, the quality of the colour and hair can be guaranteed by many salons if you use what the stylist recommends. It is a good idea to invest in the haircare products they suggest to you.” – Lou Petrie, ECHO salon; Kingston, ON

“If on Vacation you should try to protect your colour. You can wear a hat when sitting in the sun but if you’d rather not wear a hat, BC repair hair rescue treatment can be put into the hair before spending the day in the sun and rinsed out when your day in the sun is finished.” – Matty Conrad, The Lab; Victoria, BC

“If you’re going outside in the summer without protection, use the BC Sun Protect line of shampoo, spray conditioner and after-sun treatment for full protection. The line protects hair against UV rays, salt and chlorine while using amino cell rebuilding technology to repair, sooth and refresh the hair. ” – Fred Bosco, Giovanni & Perri; Barrie, ON

“Use the BC Color Save Shampoo and Conditioner because after you colour your hair it is your insurance for keeping your colour protected. Use the shampoo and conditioner to save and protect the hair from fading and being dull, and to keep your colour lasting longer. You have to maintain and keep up with care; it is your warranty for your beautiful, new colour.” – Ali Kassab, Rain Salon & Spa; Edmonton, AB

“For the first 48 hours after you get it coloured you really shouldn’t wash your hair; the colour has to oxidize and you need to allow the cuticle to close in order to secure your colour. If you have to wash yourhair within the first 48 hours you should use cooler, luke-warm water and use a shampoo with a pH of three or four. The difference this will make on your colour’s longevity is about two weeks.” – Roy Jouni, Carte Blanche; Orleans, ON
