Make Salon Color Last 2× Longer: A 14-Day Plan
Why the first 14 days matter
Right after coloring, hair is most vulnerable to water, heat, UV, and friction. Control those four—and use color-safe products—to keep pigment intact and shine high.
Day-by-day plan
Days 1–2: Hands off & seal
- Avoid washing for 48 hours so pigments set.
- On damp or dry hair, smooth a light finisher to lay the cuticle.
- Serum: K. Fiber Reparador Essencial → https://kostumeusa.store/product/k-fiber-reparador-essencial-hair-serum/
Day 3: Gentle first wash
- Use a sulfate-free shampoo; cleanse scalp, let the rinse clean lengths.
- Condition mid-lengths→ends; brief cool rinse.
- Color-safe shampoos: https://kostumeusa.store/product-category/professional-hair-shampoo/
- Conditioners: https://kostumeusa.store/conditioners/
Days 4–5: UV & heat control
- Before sun or styling, mist a multi-benefit leave-in (UV/thermal help).
- Leave-in: Purifier Micelar 12-in-1 → https://kostumeusa.store/product/hair-treatment-purifier-micelar-leave-in-spray-12-in-1/
Days 6–7: Moisture top-up
- Wash once; follow with a softening/repair conditioner or mask.
Days 8–10: Refresh without stripping
- Non-wash days: refresh with leave-in; limit dry shampoos that feel chalky.
Days 11–12: Tone & gloss (optional)
- See warmth? Choose the correct neutralizer (blue for orange, violet for yellow) or a color mask refresh.
