From frapps to delectable desserts, the unicorn trend has managed to find its way into every corner of our lives…including hair! Celebs including Hilary Duff, Poppy Delevingne, and even Lauren Conrad have been spotted rocking this rainbow hair trend and for good reason — it adds a fun pop of color and looks amazing in photos.
But as much as we love living out our unicorn fantasies, there’s a price to pay whenever your hair goes through a major color change. Whether you’re going full-on pink or easing your way into it with a couple inner strands, keep these tips on how to keep your locks happy and healthy while sporting your new colourful hair in mind before you commit to that new ‘do!
Do Your Research
Don’t want to walk into the first salon you see. Do your research on hair salons and book an appointment with a specific hairstylist, so you know exactly who you’re entrusting your hair with. Look for salons that use ammonia-free or a cream lightener to maintain your hair’s integrity, this way your hair’s integrity helps with the durability and keeps the color toned so it lasts longer.
Maintenance is Key
Prior to colouring your hair, you to understand that maintenance is required because it’s the key to any major colour creation to ensure your hair colour stays fresh and in good condition. That means hair treatments are no longer optional, they’re essential. Infusium 23 leave-in treatments come in a variety of options – including their Colour Treated-Colour Defender Collection. Their Gentle, sulfate-free formula preserves color longer, optimizing color vibrancy and healthy hair shine. An I-23 complex enriched formula with pro- vitamins, proteins and amino acids nourishes colour-treated hair, leaving it enriched, enhanced and resistant to fading. We’re featuring Infusium 23’s leave-in treatments in our current Summer Babe Box.
The Salon is Your Hair's Best Friend If you want your colour to always look its best, you’re going to want to schedule a time to stop by the salon. As important as the at-home maintenance is, getting a touch-up from a pro goes a long way.
Budget for Hair Maintenance
High maintenance means investing in quality hair care products and depending on how big of a colour change you go through, you’re going to need different products. But the main point is to make sure you’re prepared to bust out your wallet for various hair care products.
Beware of Over-Heating Styling Tools There’s no doubt coloured hair looks better styled. Whether you’re giving yourself an at-home blowout or curling your hair, heat protection is more important now than ever. Your hair has gone from strong jean material to a delicate silk dress. The best way to make sure you’re not burning your hair is to use heating products that have a thermostat.
