The techniques “balayage” It is “baby lights”, require low maintenance due to making the wires light up in a more natural and delicate way.

Fading is also a big villain, reducing the frequency of washes is a great tip, two or three times a week is enough. Choose specific products for colored hair. Sulfate-free shampoo is also an ally.

In the hydration stage, forget about laziness! Colored hair needs to be moisturized more often. If the hair is hydrated and the cuticles sealed, it holds the color longer; so nurturing is always important.

Factors such as the use of excessive heat from flat irons, dryers and baby liss; sun exposure, pool chlorine and inappropriate products also get in the way of color. Use thermal protector, and take the opportunity to end the frizz.
