Trechea’s Tips for Colour-Treated Hair

1. Rehydrate: Use a moisturising, conditioning hairdress as often as necessary. Shampoo, at least once a week, with a colour-lock shampoo that won’t bleed out your colour. Give your hair the moisture it needs by deep-conditioning each time you wash.

2. Avoid Thermal Styling: Apply heat to your hair sparingly as its frequent use will quickly damage colour-treated hair. If you must, apply a heat-protection product before styling with heat in order to protect your hair.

3. Trim & Retouch: To keep your hair looking colour bright and healthy, trim the ends of your hair regularly and retouch your hair colour after six weeks to cover new growth.

Reid-McCalla recommends using Kera Care’s hydrating de-tangling shampoo; creme conditioner and conditioning creme hairdress as part of your hair-care routine for your coloured tresses.
