5 Tips for Maintaining Your Balayage Between Hairdresser Appointments
Brooke Meeler1. Use a sulfate-free shampoo
Shampoos containing sulfates can alter the color of your highlights and dry out your hair. Choose a sulfate-free shampoo specifically designed for color-treated hair.
- Example: TOKIO INKARAMI shampoo hydrates and strengthens the hair fiber while preserving the color.
- Tip: Space out washes to 2-3 times per week to avoid color bleeding.
2. Hydrate your hair with a nourishing mask
Highlighting can make hair drier, especially if you've bleached your hair. Incorporate a hydrating mask into your routine once a week to maintain suppleness and shine.
- TOKIO INKARAMI mask : for intense repair.
- Olaplex N°8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask : to hydrate and strengthen damaged hair.
3. Apply a thermal protective treatment
Heat tools (straighteners, hair dryers) can dull color and weaken hair. Before using them, apply a heat protectant to protect the hair fiber.
- Recommended product: GHD Bodyguard , an ultra-light spray that protects up to 230°C.
4. Protect your hair from the sun and external aggressions
The sun, seawater, or chlorine can alter the color and damage your hair. To avoid this:
- Wear a hat or use a protective sunscreen spray.
- Rinse your hair with clean water after swimming.
- TOKIO UV Spray : to protect the color of hair exposed to the sun.
5. Get regular professional care
Even with a good at-home routine, nothing beats a professional salon treatment. Opt for deep treatments like TOKIO INKARAMI or Olaplex to deeply regenerate the hair fiber and enhance your highlights.
