Love coloring your hair but hate when it starts to fade? We understand! Here are some tips to extend the life of your hair color and keep that freshly colored feeling longer.

If possible, wait 48 hours to wash your hair after your hair color service to allow your strands to absorb color, toner or gloss. If you need to wash, skip the hot water and use cooler water instead. Make sure your shampoo and conditioner are color safe. We love L'Anza's Color Preserving Shampoo and Conditioner.

Try to avoid hot tools within the first week of your color service, and always use a thermal protectant like Aveda Heat Relief.
