looking afterYour hair

The first 48 hours

• Wait at least 48 hours before your first wash so the colour has time to settle.
• Skip the pool, the surf and the gym sweat session for the first couple of days if you can.
• Keep hot tools on a lower setting and always use a heat protectant.

Every day

• Wash in lukewarm or cool water. Hot water opens the hair cuticle and lets colour slip away faster.
• Use a sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner made for coloured hair, and try washing a little less often.
• Protect your hair from the sun with a hat, especially on long beach days.
• Wet your hair with clean water and apply a leave-in before swimming, then rinse straight after.
• If you have hard or bore water at home, a shower filter can help reduce mineral build-up that dulls colour.

Products we recommend

• Moroccanoil Color Care shampoo and conditioner for gentle, colour-friendly cleansing.
• Moroccanoil Treatment on damp ends for softness and shine.
• Moroccanoil Perfect Defense before blow-drying or styling with heat.
• Color Wow Dream Coat on humid days to keep hair smooth.
• Filtered Beauty shower filter for homes with hard water.

The first 48 hours

• Hold off washing for at least 48 hours after lightening or toning.
• Avoid chlorine and salt water for the first few days, as freshly lightened hair is more porous.
• Go easy on heat and use a heat protectant every time.

Every day

• Use a purple shampoo once or twice a week to soften brassy or yellow tones. Use your regular colour-safe shampoo the rest of the time.
• Leave purple shampoo on for a short time to start with. If your blonde looks dull or lilac, use it less often.
• Condition every wash and add a weekly mask or bond-building treatment.
• Rinse in cool water, and detangle gently from the ends up with a soft brush.
• Before a swim, wet your hair with fresh water and apply a pre-swim protectant. Rinse as soon as you are out.
• Wear a hat in strong sun to help protect your tone.

Products we recommend

• Moroccanoil Blonde Perfecting Purple Shampoo once or twice a week.
• Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector as a weekly at-home treatment.
• Olaplex No. 4 and No. 5 shampoo and conditioner for everyday care.
• Coastal Grl Pre-Swim before the pool or the beach.
• Filtered Beauty shower filter if your water is hard.

Every method is a little different. Always follow the specific care your stylist gives you for your tape-in, sew-in weft, butterfly weft or clip-in extensions.

The first 48 hours

• For tape-ins, wait at least 48 hours before washing so the tapes can bond properly.
• Avoid heavy sweating, swimming and saunas for the first couple of days.
• Keep oils and conditioner away from the attachment area.

Every day

• Brush gently from the ends up, holding the hair at the root, using a loop brush or a Wet Brush.
• Apply conditioner and treatments from mid-lengths to ends only, never on tapes, bonds or wefts.
• Dry the roots and attachments completely after every wash.
• Sleep with dry hair in a loose plait or low ponytail, ideally on a silk pillowcase.
• For swimming, tie hair up in a plait, wet it with fresh water first, and rinse and condition afterwards. Remove clip-ins before you swim or sleep.
• Book maintenance appointments every 6 to 8 weeks, or as your stylist advises.

Products we recommend

• Wet Brush for gentle, everyday detangling.
• Moroccanoil Hydrating shampoo and conditioner to keep lengths soft.
• Moroccanoil Treatment on the ends only.
• Moroccanoil Perfect Defense before heat styling.

The first 48 hours

• After a curly cut or colour, give your hair a day or two before your first wash.
• Let your curls fall naturally and avoid tight hair ties that leave kinks.
• Take note of how your curls behave so we can fine-tune your routine together.

Every day

• Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo and wash only as often as your hair needs.
• Detangle with conditioner in, using your fingers or a wide, flexible brush.
• Apply styling products to soaking wet hair to help curls clump and reduce frizz.
• Scrunch out excess water with a cotton T-shirt or microfibre towel instead of rubbing.
• Air dry or use a diffuser on low heat and low speed.
• Sleep on silk or satin, or loosely pile your curls on top of your head.
• Refresh second-day curls with a light mist of water and a little curl cream.

Products we recommend

• Lohy Cruise Control Curl Cream for soft, defined curls.
• Moroccanoil Hydrating shampoo and conditioner for everyday moisture.
• Moroccanoil Frizz Control range for humid Capricorn Coast days.
• Color Wow Dream Coat when you want a smoother finish.
• Wet Brush for gentle detangling.

The first 48 hours

• Follow your stylist's advice on when to wash. Many treatments benefit from a short wait.
• Avoid swimming and very hot tools for the first day or two.
• Enjoy the softness and notice how your hair feels, so we can plan your next treatment together.

Every day

• Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo and condition every time you wash.
• Use a heat protectant before blow-drying, straightening or curling, and keep the temperature moderate.
• Detangle gently from the ends up, especially when hair is wet.
• Protect your hair before swimming and rinse with fresh water afterwards.
• Add an at-home treatment once a week to keep the benefits going between visits.
• Book your next in-salon treatment when your stylist recommends. Regular treatments tend to work best as part of a routine.

• Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector as a weekly at-home treatment.
• Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil for shine and heat protection on the ends.
• Lakmé K2.0 Recover for hair that needs repair and care.
