The Top Products to Lock in Your Hair Colour
The moment you step out of the salon with your brand new hair colour, a new challenge begins—and that is how to keep your coloured hair vibrant for a long time.
With the right products, you can maintain that freshly dyed look for weeks. Whether it’s a bold, bright hue or a subtle refresh, using the best-coloured hair products that suit your hair type and texture can be a huge help. Today, let’s explore the top products that can help lock in your hair colour and keep your strands looking salon-fresh.
Why Does Coloured Hair Fade?
Before introducing you to the best products for your coloured hair, it’s essential to understand why your coloured hair fades. The brutal fact is that there is no artificial dye colour that stays on your hair forever, as it acts just as a coat sticking on your hair strands. Plus, several factors contribute to fast colour loss, including:
Sunlight Exposure: UV rays can break down the colour molecules, leaving the hair dried and faded.
Frequent Washing: Using the wrong shampoo can strip away the dye since the colour molecules would be washed away by sulphates in most shampoos.
Harsh Products: Ingredients like sulphates and alcohol can lead to fast fading.
Heat Styling: Excessive use of hot tools can fade hair colour.
Chlorine and Hard Water: Both can lift colour and leave hair looking dull.
However, by understanding your hair condition and incorporating the right colour lock products into your routine, you can still enjoy long-lasting hair colour.
1. Colour-Safe Shampoos
Look for colour-protect shampoo formulas that are sulphate-free and designed specifically for coloured hair, like Vivid Muk - Colour Lock Shampoo. It is formulated with proteins and zinc ingredients to help treat hair health with high protection, ensuring it remains strong and vibrant. This colour lock shampoo gently cleanses hair and scalp without getting rid of essential oils or pigments that hold onto the colour molecules.
As mentioned, excessive hair washing contributes to fast hair colour loss. So, for the best result, only use the Vivid Muk - Colour Lock shampoo two to three times a week.
2. Colour Protect Conditioners
A conditioner is a must no matter the condition your hair is in. After washing, applying colour conditioner contributes remarkably to maintaining moisture and vibrancy without washing away the shine and nutrition. Vivid Muk - Colour Lock Conditioner is specifically designed to seal the cuticle, keeping the dye locked in and your hair feeling soft while increasing elasticity as it is rich in essential nutrients.
For the best result, apply a generous amount to clean hair that has been cleansed with Vivid Muk Shampoo. Leave it in your hair for one to two minutes before rinsing it well. Re-apply it if you have very porous and damaged hair to increase repair and hydration.
3. Colour Lock Hair Masks
Want an extra boost of hydration and colour preservation? Incorporate a colour lock hair mask into your routine once a week. With Muk Spa - Argan Oil Repair Mask, your hair colour is locked in, thanks to its nourishing Omega 9 and Omega 6 and exceptionally high levels of vitamin E that provide intense conditioning, shine and moisture.
Here’s a pro tip: always be patient and leave the mask on for at least 10 minutes before rinsing to achieve the best-nourished hair colour.
4. Thermal Protect Sprays
When you’re in your coloured hair era, a thermal protecting spray is an item you shouldn’t go without. Our Hot Muk - Thermal Protector locks out humidity and is effective against high temperatures associated with hair styling tools and the sun’s UV, leaving your hair beautifully shiny and frizz-free all day long.
Remember to apply to damp hair before blow-drying or styling to prevent any heat from touching your hair, resulting in the colour fading.
