Preserving Your Cut Structure & Mirror Shine

One of the key things to remember when it comes to the color melt is that it requires regular maintenance to preserve the color and prevent it from fading.

I recommend getting a regular toner to keep your color looking fresh and vibrant.

And also using a color-depositing shampoo and conditioner to help lock in the color.

When it comes to salon trim intervals, it’s generally recommended to get a trim every 6-8 weeks to maintain the health and integrity of your hair.

By getting regular trims, you can prevent split ends and breakage.

And keep your hair looking healthy and vibrant for longer.
