When clients are starting out on their vivid journey, they are often coming with natural or balayage hair and don’t really understand the commitment to maintain a vivid colour and health of their hair. This is completely understandable and always best to assume they need your expertise to guide and educate them on the best products for their hair. They want what you want and that is that their hair retains as much of the vibrancy for as long as possible.
“As colourists we are responsible for educating our clients on the journey ahead, aftercare is one of the most crucial parts of a vivid service” – Norman Boulton, Not Another Salon
Bleached and coloured hair needs extra care, it’s as simple as that, so you need to advise your clients to look for hair care products designed to address the needs of bleached, coloured, damaged and weakened hair.
“Professional aftercare is an absolute must for your clients to take home with them, anything else is just not going to cut it and cheap products will most likely strip out the colour.” – Connor Stansfield, Not Another Salon
Seal In That Colour After Dyeing
Anti-Bleed Spray is your Crazy Color Secret Weapon!
This is a brilliant product to use during your vivid colouring service, it helps to seal in hair colour, prevent colour bleed after dyeing & can extend the life of your clients colour for up to ten extra washes! A perfect recommendation for their at home care too as it can be used each time they wash their hair to continue to seal that colour in.
Refresh Colour at Home
Another great option to help your client get the most out of their colour is to send them home with a bottle of the colour you have used in their hair to make a Colour Mask each time they wash their hair. To keep colour fresh, they can create a conditioning colour mask by adding a generous skoosh of your chosen Semi-Permanent Hair Colour to a handful of our Rainbow Care Conditioner. Leave the mask on for around 3-5 minutes to nourish and refresh hair!
If you want to point them in the direction of some useful advice they can follow at home, send them to our Colour Care Guide: https://www.crazycolor.co.uk/colour-care-guide
Use Power Pigment Drops
Another option to keep colour fresh and vibrant in between salon trips is to create a colour mask at home by mixing a few drops of your pigments into a generous amount of conditioner. We recommend our Rainbow Care conditioner but you can use any made specifically for coloured hair.
Work the mask evenly into towel dried hair, comb through and leave on for around 5 minutes, more if you have time to spare. Rinse and style as normal and you will see your colour fresher and more vibrant!
Remember to use the gloves in the box as these little bottles are powerful and the colour can stain.
Aftercare Options
You want to make your client feel comfortable to ask you any kind of question during their vivid colouring journey and this includes asking about aftercare.
If you don’t have aftercare options to offer them in salon, you can direct them to our retail site where we have lots of options specifically created to prolong and maintain vivid hair.
