Tips for how to keep hair color fresh and long-lasting is just the kind of thing every girl needs to add to their haircare knowledge, especially as it’s so expensive to look so great!

Colored hair needs to be frequently treated and maintained; heat and hair protection sprays, styles, products and color enhancers can all help towards your hair goals. Don’t worry, when you start to see the results your hair can thank us later.

To help improve the appearance of your hair color and contribute to making it the best it can be, here’s our guide of 5 things to do that will keep it fresh in the sun:

1. 

   Step 1: Prepare Your Hair

   To begin your regime of protecting your hair in the sun, you need to make sure it’s in the best state possible, which means keeping your hair moisturized and conditioned without a build-up of too much product.

   For frizz control and extra shine to your hair, Keranique’s Marula Oil Hair Treatment Mist contains natural Mongongo, Marula and Cyperus oils that help achieve a healthy start to the appearance of your hair – conditioned and moisturized.

   African oils in this product work well as another protective layer of antioxidants on the hair, leaving a fresh finish to your overall look. Another key ingredient is Cyclopentasiloxane, which contains silicone that gives a silky and supple feel without weighing the hair down with greasy residue.

   Keranique’s treatment needs to be applied to damp hair for maximum results.

   Once your hair’s in pristine condition, it’s time to move on to another one of Keranique’s products – the Amplifying Lift and Repair Treatment Spray.

   Key ingredients within this hair treatment help contribute to hair strengthening and form a sheer film on the hair, therefore providing an additional layer to the hair protecting it from the sun. This is a result from Sufopolyester Fiber and Keravis Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, which work together to keep your hair safe from sun damage.

   How to use: Massage the roots to boost and lift the texture of your hair.

   With the antioxidants preventing free radical damage to the hair in sight, there should be no more fears of hair damage or discoloration from the sun. This product can be used on wet or dry hair so you can chose which process you feel is most appropriate.

Prevention of color fade is provided from the UV filters which protect the hair color against oxidative damage.
