Welcome to Part 4 of 4 of my guide on Loop Waterfall Braid.
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 keep your color looking vibrant and healthy, be sure to use a color-protecting shampoo and conditioner.
And avoid using hot tools too frequently.
This will help to prevent color fade and maintain a healthy, shiny finish.
For regular trims, I recommend getting your hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks to prevent split ends and breakage.
This will help to keep your hair looking healthy and vibrant.
And prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft.
