1. After coloring avoid shampooing for at least 72 hours.

2. When shampooing use the coldest water possible.

3. Shampoo as least as possible. To freshen up,

skip the shampoo and just use conditioner with cold water.

4. Avoid heating devices such as flat irons. Also, avoid the sun, and pools as much as possible.

5. Wear a hat when outdoors for prolonged periods of time.

6. Use shampoo and conditioner labeled "Sulfate Free" or "Color Protecting."

7. A conditioning treatment is a great way to revive vibrancy.

8.  N.C. well and public utility water is high in Iron which impacts hair and can turn platinum or blond hair orange or a horrible shade of rust. Use Malibu Hard Water Wellness Treatment or you can add a Crystal Quest Shower Filter to your shower. Found on Amazon, I have included the links.

(It is especially important for those with red hair to follow these tips closely.)
