How do I get my hair like this picture? Using inspiration pictures will help us determine what colors to use, overall placement and level of expectation for the life of the color.

What is the process? Although every situation is unique, vivid hair color techniques typically begin with lifting the natural color to remove as much pigment as possible. From the point at which the hair is willing and able to healthily lift, we formulate based on goals of the inspiration photo.

How are Vivid Colors different than Classic Colors? It all comes down to chemistry of the color molecules and how they attach to the hair. Vivid color molecules have a structure that lends themselves to be bright, as well as somewhat transient. The molecules fade quickly, and there are important at-home care guidelines to ensure your color investment lasts as long as you want it to!

It’s important to understand vivd color will eventually fade. Embracing the fade will and enjoying the change is part of the journey of vivid colors. The following guidelines will help your color last:

WASHING 

• Wait 48 hours after initial application to wash your hair.

• Wash with sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner every few days. 

• The longer in between washes the better.

• Use dry shampoo as needed.

• Wash in cold/cool water only.

• Shampoo the scalp area only and let the shampoo rinse through the rest.

STAINING

• While your hair is wet, it may stain fabric.

• If you have any remaining color residue on your scalp, the next time you wash your hair, rub the area with the pads of your fingers and rinse thoroughly with strong water pressure to remove the remaining color.

FADING

The color WILL fade, embrace it!

• Prolonged exposure in the sun and chlorinated/well water can cause the color to fade quickly.

• Vivid/Deeper tones can last up to 40 washes until completely out of the hair.

• Refresh the vivid/deeper tones every 6 washes with your customized color conditioner.

• Pastel tones can last up to 20 washes until completely out of the hair.

• Refresh the pastel tones every 3 washes with your customized color conditioner. 

STYLING

• Keep the heat usage to a minimum.

• Always use a Heat/UV protectant when blow drying and using hot tools.

• Keep your tools set at 375degrees F or less.

TOUCH UPS

• Come in with your hair freshly washed, no conditioner or product and dry if you are just coming in for a touch up on the vivid color.

• If you are looking to change your color, and the color hasn’t faded, start to wash it in hot water and more often.
