Keeping your color luminous and your ends plush between salon appointments comes down to a simple weekly rhythm.

Preserving Your Cut Structure & Mirror Shine
To preserve the color and shine of the hair, I recommend using a color-protecting shampoo and conditioner.
This will help to lock in the color and moisture, and will help to prevent any color fade or dryness.
I also recommend using a hair mask once or twice a week to help nourish and moisturize the hair.
For a salon trim, I recommend getting a trim every 6-8 weeks to help maintain the shape and style of the hair.
This will help to prevent any split ends or breakage.
And will help to keep the hair looking healthy and vibrant.
