Color treated hair requires special care in order to maintain its vibrancy and stay healthy. Teach your clients how to use hair color protection products such as shampoos and conditioners with added nutrients, protective styling mists, and heat protectants that guard against thermal damage.

Avoid using shampoos containing sulfates, as these are known to strip the hair of its color. Instead, look for options like this sulfate-free option from Oway.

1. Olaplex No. 6

No 6 Repairative Styling Treatment provides a leave-in reparative styling treatment to smooth hair and minimize frizz and flyaways, while simultaneously hydrating, speeding up blow dry times, and protecting hair against heat damage.

Olaplex bond-building technology (Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate) has been clinically demonstrated to repair broken disulfide bonds to strengthen hair. Suitable for all hair textures ranging from coily to fine.

Combine No 7 Bonding Oil for maximum bond strengthening power in the home.

2. Bond Smoother

Bond Smoother, developed using Olaplex bond-building technology, is an Olaplex leave-in styling cream designed to control frizz and flyaways for up to 72 hours of frizz control and flyaway control. In addition, this moisture-rich treatment speeds blow-dry time while leaving hair with natural sheen and improving color retention.

Linh Phan, professional hairstylist and K18 Ambassador explains that bond-building products “find single sulfur hydrogen bonds (broken by chemical processes like colouring), crosslink them back together,” thus helping your client avoid future damage. By adding such a product into their daily regimen, bond-building products could potentially prevent additional issues arising down the line.

3. Dream Coat

Based on modern textile technology, this humidity-proof hair spray encases each strand in an invisible waterproofing cloak to provide superior anti-frizz protection – ideal for clients with curly, wavy, or coarse locks.

Heat activated polymers create a weightless surface sealant that repels moisture without drying or greasying hair strands – perfect for anyone suffering from puffy frizz due to seasonal changes.

4. Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Heat Styling Spray

Jen Atkin (famous for styling Dua Lipa and Hailey Baldwin’s locks) swears by this lightweight heat protectant spray, loved by celebrities like Dua Lipa and Hailey Baldwin. It provides soft smoothness that lasts all day long, without silicones!

Hold canister 6-10″ away from damp or dry hair before applying in a sweeping motion for sleek looks or bouncy curls. Apply product as necessary prior to blowdrying, flat ironing or curling hair before blowdrying/straight ironing/curling your locks for the desired style.

5. Expensive Amla Oil Hi-Shine Topcoat

As with a top coat for nails, this UV-protecting glaze instantly forms to hair like an in-shower top coat, providing an invisible and weightless protective shield to enhance color depth and dimension for prism-like shine. Not only that but this in-shower protective gloss also nourishes, strengthens and softens locks after using color treatments while sealing cuticles to protect from color fading and heat tools – not forgetting its wonderful scent of bergamot, lemon zest, mimosa and heliotrope!

6. Shu Uemura Color Lustre Brilliant Glaze Conditioner

Sulfate-free conditioner that brightens and adds vibrancy to hair color. Packed with musk rose oil, goji berry extract and refining lipids which mimic your natural protective varnish lipid barrier; lightweight conditioning with polished shine from mid-lengths to ends for superior shine!
