Expert tips for keeping your hue fresh and your hair healthy.
Going for a colour change at the salon? Or thinking of DIYing a bold new hue at home? Before you commit, consider how a drastic change can impact your hair's health, appearance and texture — and the products and care it will need to keep looking great.. "When you're talking about big hair changes,… for sure you're going into a different routine," she said. "It's a commitment.
She believes it's worth both the effort and the splurge to find a professional you can trust — someone who listens to what you want, but also considers the health of your hair. "I think a good colourist is someone that tells you, 'Look, we're going to leave your hair alone for a while, OK?' … because it's quality of hair first," said Tedeschi.
To counter that, Tedeschi recommended products with hyaluronic acid, which can hold roughly 1,000 times its weight in water. She also suggested an overnight leave-in treatment for hydration, a hair oil for shine and movement, products with protein to help with any damage and "give muscle" to your hair, and a thermal protector if you're using hot tools.
Fading and brassiness, for blonds, are other common problems. Tedeschi recommended using a shampoo with a purple pigment once a week as a neutralizer — but not just on wet hair as you might imagine. " the purple shampoo on your dry hair first; let it sit for five to 10 minutes; and then wash it and then use it as a conditioner," she said. "You get double the neutralization.""Red is a very sensitive colour," said Tedeschi. "It fades; it could turn orangey.
"When you're looking at vibrant colours, the challenges are extreme fading," she said. "Because vibrant colours are only deposited on the top surface of the hair, it doesn't go right into the cortex of the hair, so it doesn't seal. So it washes off real fast." With vibrant hues, including red tones, she suggested washing your hair only once a week to minimize fading.
