Preventing Hair Colour Fade

Expert Tips to Prevent Colour Fade From Aurora Hairdressing Salon In Northampton

With summer in full swing, we're loving the longer days and bustling social calendars that the warmer months bring. We're also enjoying time spent outside, afternoons splashing by the pool, and holidays abroad. Unfortunately, you can have too much of a good thing. This could be no truer than when it comes to sunshine, saltwater, chlorine, and your hair colour maintenance. When you don't protect your coloured hair from these elements, you might see your gorgeous blonde shades turn green, your vibrant reds lose their lustre, and your rich, chocolatey brunettes turn a sad, washed-out brown. Happily, our expert tips can keep your colour looking fresh. 

To book your summer colour appointment with our colour specialists, please call us on 01604 622 408 or book online.

Please Note: If you haven't had a hair colour service with us in the last 6 months, we kindly ask that you pop in for a quick allergy patch test before your colour appointment. 

Get Your Hair Professionally Coloured

While all hair colours can be susceptible to tonal changes over time, at-home dye is much more vulnerable. Getting your hair professionally coloured by our hair colour experts will not only ensure a gorgeous end result but will also keep your hair healthy and happy throughout the lightening process. we all know that bleach can take its toll on the integrity of our hair, and that's why we'll likely advise on a range of restorative treatments - like Olaplex - to ensure that your hair is safeguarded against any damage. 

Professional hair dye delivers beautiful, on-point results and enables your colourist to successfully cover the hair shaft and achieve your desired tone. Whether you want a gorgeous golden balayage style, an on-trend copper shade, or a full head of bright and beautiful highlights, we're ready to create a look that you adore. Moreover, if you have endured a colour faux pax and need to correct an unwanted shade or box-dye disaster, we can also restore your hair to a beautiful shade you love.

Invest in Colour Protection Products 

Investing in high-quality colour protection shampoos, conditioners, and masks, can go a long way in protecting your colour and keeping it radiant for longer. These products usually have a higher PH level and work to restore the hair's integrity and prolong the lifespan of your hair colour. Moreover, professional-grade products are packed with scientifically formulated ingredients and work to nourish the hair from within and replenish any damage that was caused throughout the colouring or lightening process. 

If you're unsure about which colour protection products will work best with your unique hair colour, our colour specialists will happily advise on the best products for your needs. 

Get Savvy About Sun Protection

Harsh UV rays are one of the biggest culprits when it comes to hair colour fade. UV rays can harm our locks on even the cloudiest of days - with a whopping 80 % of rays penetrating through clouds - so it's no wonder why they cause even more damage in the hotter summer months. Investing in a high-quality UV protection hair spray is a brilliant way to protect your hair colour this season.

Much like you would use SPF to protect your skin, these UV sprays shield your hair follicles against harmful rays. For added protection, consider adding a leave-in mask to your hair before spending all day in the sunshine or wearing a sun hat where possible.
