When you’ve finally dyed your mane to the perfect pretty hair color,
it’s hard not to get upset over the thought that it will eventually
fade away over time. (Seriously, you have your salon on speed dial!) But
did you know that colored hair requires
extra care? Well, it does! Want to keep your new hue looking gorgeous?
Consider taking the following five steps in your healthy hair color
routine, from how to pick the right at-home permanent hair color kit to finding the best shampoo for colored hair to tips on styling your color-treated strands. Plus, use our Superior Preference tool and Excellence Creme tool to find your perfect formula and shade match.

#1
CHOOSE THE RIGHT HAIR DYE FOR YOUR NEEDS—AND USE IT PROPERLY
If you’re dyeing your hair at home,
it’s important to choose the right at-home hair color kit for your
preferences and follow the instructions on the packaging for best
results. Here are a few at-home hair color kits to consider.
If you want to go ombré…try the L’Oréal Paris Colorista Bleach Ombré.
Having hair that is lighter from the mid-lengths to the ends is still
popular for a reason! This beachy look can really perk up your hair and
make it look sun-kissed.
If you want to experiment with a rainbow shade…try the L’Oréal Paris Colorista Semi-Permanent Hair Color. (It’s available in two versions: one for bleached, light blondes, and highlighted hair and one for brunettes). Paint your hair like a rainbow!
If you want all-over color…try the L’Oréal Paris Féria, L’Oréal Paris Superior Preference, or L’Oréal Paris Excellence Creme. This could be the perfect time to become a redhead—just saying!

SWITCH UP YOUR SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER
Just like you choose specific skin care products to
address your complexion’s needs, you might want to think about treating
your silky hair color the same way. That means using products
formulated especially for color-treated hair. Swap out your regular
shampoo and conditioner and use a system formulated for color-treated hair. Our best shampoo for color-treated hair is the L'Oréal Paris EverPure Repair & Defend Shampoo, paired with the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Repair & Defend Conditioner.
After massaging the shampoo into wet strands and rinsing, apply the
conditioner and leave it on for 1-3 minutes before washing out. Gorgeous
hair, here you come!

ADD IN A HAIR MASK
Nourish your color-treated strands by adding a hair mask, such as the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Repair Remedy Balm.
to your weekly beauty routine. After shampooing with the above shampoo,
skip conditioner and apply the hair mask to your locks for 3-5 minutes,
then rinse thoroughly. Use it once or twice a week.
#4
EMBRACE YOUR NATURAL TEXTURE
Ditch the heat tools in favor of
something so much easier—air drying! Give in to your natural
texture—whether you have straight hair, curly hair, or wavy hair—and
let your pretty new hair color be the star of the show. Who doesn’t
want to be a surfer girl? You don’t have to be anywhere near the ocean
to master the beachy trend. The L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle AIR DRY IT Wave Swept Spray
gives hair a textured, wavy look. Spray it through towel-dried hair,
then scrunch. Got straight hair? Amp up the waves by putting your hair
in a braid after you’ve sprayed on the product.
#5
HAVE ROOT COVER-UP ON HAND
Eventually your new luminous color will
be no more, at least on your roots. Instead of letting new growth show,
which isn’t always the most flattering look, keep your roots covered
until you have the chance to refresh your dye job. The simplest
solution? A root cover spray. Spritz the L’Oréal Paris Magic Root Cover Up directly onto hair, and your roots will be hidden through your next shampoo.
