5 Ways to Maintain Your Balayage Between Salon Visits

Published: March 2024 | Category: Hair Care

Balayage has become one of the most sought-after colouring techniques at our Brixton salon, and for good reason. This hand-painted highlighting method creates beautiful, natural-looking dimension that grows out gracefully. However, keeping your balayage looking fresh between appointments requires proper care and attention.

Use Purple Shampoo Wisely

If you have blonde balayage, purple shampoo is your best friend. Use it once or twice a week to neutralise brassy tones and keep your colour looking cool and vibrant. Don’t overdo it though – too much can leave your hair with an unwanted purple tint.

Invest in Quality Hair Products

Colour-treated hair needs extra nourishment. Switch to sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for coloured hair. These gentler formulas help preserve your colour whilst keeping your hair healthy and hydrated.

Limit Heat Styling

Excessive heat can fade your balayage faster than you’d like. When you do use hot tools, always apply a heat protectant spray first. Consider embracing your natural texture on some days to give your hair a break.

Book Regular Treatments

At Chroma Hair and Beauty, we recommend booking an Olaplex treatment every 6-8 weeks. This strengthens your hair bonds and keeps your balayage looking salon-fresh for longer.

Protect from the Sun

UV rays can fade your beautiful balayage. Wear a hat on sunny days or use hair products with UV protection, especially during summer months in London.

With proper care, your balayage can look stunning for 3-4 months between appointments. Book your next balayage refresh with our expert colourists today.
