don’t ruin it with ordinary products.
If you’re like me, you love getting your hair done at a salon except you have NO idea how to care for your new locks once you’re out of the chair. Maybe your stylist made some recommendations but, after being in the salon for 4+ hours you’ve forgotten everything they said -hey it happens- this is your chance for a refresher.
I’ve compiled a list of product recommendations and techniques that you can do and use at home to keep your investment looking as cool as the day you had it done!

Alright, let’s get to it!
If you like bright packaging, then this brand is for you! amika: has preventative hair-care figured out with their star ingredient sea buckthorn, this “superfruit” is one of the few plant sources of the fatty-acid omega 7 (typically found in fish oil) making it the ultimate holy grail ingredient for healthy hair and scalp.
Technique tip: Use warm water to rinse out before shampooing to open your cuticle and to help remove buildup and dirt.
Turns out, healthy hair retains color 10X better! Check out their product fadeblock pre-shampoo color seal; a pre-shampoo treatment that seals the cuticle + balances hair's PH to protect color from wash-related fading, now that’s a product I can stand behind!

Next up, is the collection of color depositing masks by Morroccanoil. Stylists prefer these over any other brand due to their quality ingredients and easy removal when it comes time for a touch up or color change in the salon. Other products like Ion or overtone penetrate the cuticle and create a big problem when trying to remove! Costing you more time and money in the salon, no one wants a surprise like that.
Check out this Aquamarine color! They have one in every shade too, check them out here
Technique tip: Use cool water to rinse from your hair, this will help seal in the color and hydrating properties from the mask.
Alright, this one says it in its name, Color Proof
And it’s trademark, Color Care Authority. This brand guarantees superior color protection and I can vouch for it! Some other brands color care or color extending products leave hair dry and basically do the opposite of what they are supposed to do. The experts agree, Color Proof is the no-compromise color care. Powered by ingredient innovation that gets results. They obsess over every detail to ensure undisputed product performance.
Try out their Plush-locks leave in smooth; Frizz-defying blow dry crème minimizes breakage and creates a silk-like finish. Reduces blow dry time with color and heat protection.
Technique tip: Start with a dime to quarter size amount (depending on your hair length and amobut) and work from the ends up, finger combing product through. Don’t be afraid to put the remaining on your hairline/scalp area to help with the face frame frizzies.
