Styling 101: Expert Haircare How-To’s & Styling Advice
The Science of Maintaining Vibrant Hair Color with SEVEN haircare
Maintaining vibrant, healthy hair color requires more than just regular touch-ups; it takes a strategic approach that combines the right products, proper care techniques, and a healthy lifestyle. SEVEN Haircare offers a range of products designed to keep your color looking fresh and radiant, ensuring your hair remains healthy and vibrant over time.
Understanding Hair Color Maintenance
The vibrancy of your hair color largely depends on the health of your hair. The more porous or damaged your hair is, the harder it is to maintain that salon-fresh hue. Healthy hair, with its intact cuticle layer, better holds onto color molecules.
Factors Affecting Hair Color Longevity
Type of Color:
Permanent color penetrates deep into the hair shaft to provide long-lasting results. In contrast, semi-permanent and temporary colors sit on the surface of your hair and fade a little bit with each wash.
Hair Porosity:
Hair porosity determines how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture. High porosity hair acts like a sponge—it soaks up color quickly but also loses it just as fast. Low porosity hair, on the other hand, is less absorbent but holds onto the color longer.
Hair Condition:
Healthy hair is crucial for long-lasting color. Damaged or dry hair might take on color, but it won’t hold it well, leading to quicker fading.
How to Maintain Healthy Hair Color
Maintaining vibrant hair color isn’t just about using the right products—your lifestyle plays a crucial role too.
Use Color-Protecting Products: Choose shampoos, conditioners, and styling products specifically formulated for color-treated hair. These products help maintain the vibrancy of your color and protect it from fading.
Incorporate Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts help keep your hair healthy and shiny, which in turn supports vibrant color. Consider incorporating these into your diet or taking a supplement for overall hair health.
Avoid Chlorine Exposure: Chlorine in swimming pools can cause hair color to fade or even change. Before swimming, wet your hair and apply a leave-in conditioner to create a barrier, or wear a swim cap to protect your hair.
Regular Salon Visits: Regular touch-ups and treatments from a professional stylist are essential for maintaining the health and beauty of your hair. Stylists can also recommend products tailored to your specific hair needs, ensuring your color remains as vibrant as the day you leave the salon.
