Preserving Your Cut Structure & Mirror Shine
To preserve the color gloss of this balayage, make sure to use a color-protecting shampoo and conditioner.
Also, try to limit your use of heat styling tools, as these can dry out the hair and cause the color to fade faster.
To keep your hair looking its best, try to get a salon trim every 6-8 weeks.
This will help prevent split ends and keep the hair looking healthy and shiny.
Also, be sure to use a bond-building treatment once a week to keep the hair strong and resilient.
