HOW TO: Keep Coloured Hair Healthy and Strong

June 13, 2022
While freshly done hair colour looks amazing, it can be tricky to keep it looking vibrant between treatments. Not only does hair colour simply fade over time, but it’s important to keep in mind that your hair can become more easily damaged after being colour-treated. Luckily, HASK is here to keep your hair truly healthy and looking vibrant between every salon visit.   Colour-treated hair requires special care to stay in good condition. And this is even more true for hair that also undergoes regular heat styling. Why? Simply put, hair dye is harsh on hair and leaves all hair types more prone to breakage and dehydration. The good news? There are some great steps you can take to improve your overall hair health and the longevity of your colour.  

Step 1: Use a colour protection shampoo and conditioner 

To compensate for the moisture and protein lost during the dyeing process, choosing a shampoo and conditioner that is able to replenish these components is really important for keeping dyed hair healthy.   If your hair is blonde: using a specially formulated purple shampoo and conditioner is a must. Try the HASK Blonde Care Purple Toning Shampoo and Conditioner. Enriched with a blend of elderberry oil and vitamin C to restore moisture, and protect from environmental damage, the HASK Blonde Care range ensures blonde hair receives the care it needs to recover from regular salon bleaching. This violet-pigmented formula also removes unwanted yellow tones from blonde hair between salon visits.   For all other colour-treated hair: we recommend the HASK Colour Care Shampoo and Conditioner. Designed to add health back into coloured hair, this protective blend is formulated with hydrolysed peach fruit extract, rose oil and a unique Colour Perfecting Complex. The HASK Colour Care range nourishes colour-treated hair by restoring vital moisture and protein, as well as prolongs the vibrancy of your hair colour.   

Step 2: Use a hair mask (often!)  

This is an important one! While you may think of hair masks as an ‘extra’ step, for colour-treated hair, regular hair masks are an essential one. To keep hair as healthy as it was pre-dye, we need to add back the moisture that has been stripped from it.   For blondes: we recommend the HASK Purple Toning Deep Conditioner. This reparative treatment provides the perfect balance of violet toning and intense hydration to counteract brassy hues and replenish dry blonde locks.  For all other coloured hair: the HASK Color Care Deep Conditioner is the perfect deep treatment for restoring essential moisture (and protein). Simply smooth over hair, leave on for 10 minutes and rinse.     

Step 3: Protect your hair when heat styling  

A good thermal protectant is especially beneficial for coloured hair. Heat can cause further damage to coloured hair, so we always recommend using a heat protectant before all kinds of heat and styling to minimise damage.   For blondes: we have specially formulated a new leave-in thermal protectant spray just for blondes, the HASK Blonde Care 5-in-1 Leave-in Spray.  For all other coloured hair: choose from our range of coveted HASK 5-in-1 Leave-in Sprays! With a huge range of sprays, each boasting its own benefits, there’s a HASK Leave-in Spray for every hair type.    Shop the new HASK Blonde Care and HASK Colour Care ranges at our Amazon Australia E-Store today.
