Aftercare Guide
All colours need maintenance particularly bleaches and vivids. As well as discussing this with you in your appointment I have created an aftercare guide for you to keep as a reference. This gives you information on products, do’s and don’ts, home remedies, top ups after fading and general advise.
I will email you this guide following your appointment.

Blondes
Silver shampoo is an amazing product that continues to tone your hair if you require cool toned blonde in between appointments to avoid brassiness and make you feel fresh. However, you need to use it correctly. When you hair is freshly coloured you will not need to use it for 2-3 weeks. When you start to notice golden tones that you don’t like come through use it, if you don’t see gold don’t use it. It is a visual product. Never use it every time you wash your hair else you will get a build-up of it making it dull, khaki or even over pigmenting it so it looks purple.Do not use it for a week before your colour appointment as it can act as a barrier to colour affecting the tone.
A recommendation is Osmo super silver no yellow mask it is £5 if you prefer a shampoo there is one in the same brand range for £10. Just use one or the other not both. Just massage in and rinse it does not need to develop it is a quick rinse.
When using a silver shampoo or conditioner follow this order depending on which one you use:
Reg shampoo- silver shampoo- reg mask.
Reg shampoo- silver conditioner- reg mask.
Brunettes
If you require a more ashy matte less reddish brown as your colour fades use the following shampoo after your regular shampoo as and when needed followed by your regular mask- Matrix Total results Dark Envy Neutralising Green Shampoo for Dark Brunette hair 300ml around £10.
Red & Coppers
These pigmented conditioners really work for a colour top up and are a no hassle option for a colour top up. Ensure you wear gloves and are careful in your bathroom.

Pastels
For soft pastel shades the toner you receive in salon will fade quicker as it is quite diluted. A pastel coloured mask can be used as a top up to replenish tone this would be applied following a shampoo and reg mask.
