Shade-Safe Styling: Tools & Temps That Won’t Fade Color
1) Prep (cleanse & condition smart)
Use sulfate-free shampoo; condition mid-lengths→ends for slip so brushes and tools glide (less friction = less fade).

2) Protect (before any heat)
Evenly mist a leave-in; comb through so every strand gets coverage.
3) Style (tools & temps)
- Blow-dry: medium heat, higher airflow; always use a nozzle and keep it moving.
- Flat iron: start ~300–325°F (149–163°C) for fine/medium; increase only if needed.
- Curl iron/wand: one pass; release before hair overheats.
4) Polish (seal & shine)
Finish with a lightweight serum on ends and canopy to smooth the cuticle and enhance reflection.
Tone-care quick fixes
- Looks dull after styling? Add one pump of serum; check your temp.
- Static/flyaways? Lightly mist leave-in, re-comb, avoid over-brushing.
- Warm/brassy drift? Refresh tone with a neutralizer or semi-permanent refresh.
