maintaining your color

COLOR-SAFE PRODUCTS

One of the best ways to preserve your look is to use products designed to extend the color's lifespan. At Alex Yarber, we love the Kevin Murphy and K18 brands! A good shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in will protect and prolong your color. These professional products are available for sale in our salon!

AT-HOME CARE

COLOR-SAFE PRODUCTS

For best results, we recommend washing your hair no more than 2-3 times per week. Over-washing not only strips the color from your hair faster, but also removes the natural oils your body produces to help protect and maintain. your hair's health. Washing your hair with cold to lukewarm water can also help prevent from opening the hair cuticle and causing color pigment to seep out faster.

HEAT-STYLING

HEAT-STYLING

Always use a heat-protectant spray before using any hot tool (this includes your blow-dryer)! Also try to keep your tools set to low or medium settings. This not only can help preserve your color but also prevents unnecessary damage to the hair itself.

Color-depositing conditioner and shampoos can help preserve and enrich vivid color between salon visits. Avoid unnecessary UV and chlorine exposure to help preserve color as well!

For highlighted hair, purple shampoos and conditioners can help neutralize brassy warm tones in between salon visits. These should only be used as needed as to prevent overcorrecting, resulting in purple-pigmented highlights.
