3 ways in which you can totally maintain your hair colour to make it last longer

Summer is finally here, so it is officially time to let your locks down and slay that summer look. Planning to go blonde this summer? Or would you prefer an electric blue to let out the rockstar in you? Be what it is, maintaining your hair colour is just as important as picking the right one. Now whether you choose to colour your hair at home or get it done by pros, there's no doubt that you'll have to work on those manes to keep that colour lasting for long. How, you ask? Well, we've got three ways just for you.


1. Choose the right products


We all tend to take extra care of our skin but it's important to remember that you need to take care of your hair as well. You wouldn't use any skin products with harmful chemicals and that rule should apply to your hair too. So, stay away from sulphate. Choose a shampoo and conditioner with colour protecting properties. This will let you keep the hue looking fresh even after multiple washes.


2. Use hair SPF


Yes, you read that right. SPF isn't just something that you should use on your skin. Hair SPF exists as well. UV rays are equally harmful to your hair and it can also oxidise or bleach hair colour. If you plan on hitting the beach this summer, do spray your hair with some SPF containing hairspray. Focus on the crown area as that's prone to the most damage. If you don't want to use any products on your scalp, at least wear a hat or a scarf.


3. Protect your hair from the pool


You might think that it's the chlorine in pools that's damaging your hair but it's actually the mineral deposits that damage your hair colour and give it that dreaded green tinge. So to battle this, you need to apply a generous amount of oil to your hair from the roots to the tips. And trust us when we say that this will certainly prevent the minerals and chemicals from stripping your hair colour off.
