How to Care for Your Professional Hair Colour This Season

Expert Tips from Your Hair Colour Specialists in Onslow Village, Guildford

There’s nothing quite like that fresh-from-the-salon hair colour — shiny, vibrant, and beautifully toned. At D’s Hair Creations in Guildford, our expert colourists are trained in a wide range of professional techniques to give you long-lasting colour and personalised results. But once you leave the salon chair, it’s all about looking after your locks to keep that colour looking its best. Here’s how:

Joico Hair Colour Specialists Onslow Village

1. Use Sulphate-Free Shampoo & Conditioner

One of the easiest ways to protect your colour is by using sulphate-free haircare. Sulphates can strip the hair of natural oils and dull your beautiful new tone — not ideal when you want it to last! At D’s Hair Creations, we’ll happily recommend the best sulphate-free products for your unique hair type to help nourish your hair and maintain its vibrancy between appointments.

2. Avoid Excessive Heat Styling

As the weather gets warmer, why not give your hair a heat-free break? Ditch the straighteners and embrace air-drying, soft waves, or relaxed braids for a more natural, effortless look.

If frizz or manageability is a concern, our pHrizzy-o-therapy keratin smoothing treatment is a game-changer. Designed to transform frizz-prone or unruly hair, this treatment smooths, softens, and adds intense shine — all while keeping your colour intact.

3. Protect Hair from Chlorine & Salt Water

Jetting off this season? Chlorine and sea water can be harsh on coloured hair, often leaving it feeling dry or turning lighter tones brassy. To minimise damage:

Rinse your hair with fresh water before and after swimming
Apply a leave-in conditioner or protective hair mask
Tie your hair up or wear a swim cap where possible

4. Use UV Protection for Hair

We’re all used to protecting our skin from the sun, but what about our hair? UV rays can break down the pigments in your colour and cause fading. Protect your hair by:

Spritzing on a UV protection spray before heading outdoors
Wearing a wide-brim hat or scarf on sunnier days
Using nourishing treatments after sun exposure to help repair and hydrate
