How to Make Your Cut and Colour Last Longer

We’re all about giving you that freshly done, feel-good hair every day—not just the day you leave the salon. But how long your cut or colour lasts depends on what happens after you step out the door. The good news? A few small changes to your routine can keep your style looking its best for longer. Here’s how to help your hair go the distance.

✂️ Keep That Shape Sharp

Let’s start with the cut. Whether you’re rocking a short, sculpted bob or long, flowing layers, regular trims are key. For short styles, we recommend coming in every 6–8 weeks to keep your shape crisp. For longer hair, 8–12 weeks is ideal to avoid split ends and maintain movement.

To help your hair stay healthy between trims:

• Minimise heat where possible, and always use heat protection when styling.

• Wash your hair just 2–3 times a week to avoid over-stripping it.

• Use products tailored to your needs—whether it’s moisture, volume, or colour care.

• Brush gently from the bottom up if you’re detangling, especially if your hair’s prone to knots. Holding the hair near the scalp can relieve tension and reduce breakage.

• Treat your hair to a weekly mask or treatment to keep it in top condition.

  
  

🎨 Keep That Colour Fresh

Colour fading too soon? Let’s fix that. The secret to long-lasting colour is in your product choices and daily habits.

Top tips for keeping colour vibrant:

• Use a sulphate-free shampoo that’s free of nasties like silicones, which can strip colour.

• If you’re a swimmer, coat your hair in a treatment and pop on a swim cap before getting in the pool. The aim is to keep chlorine exposure to a minimum—it’s a major colour-fader.

• Always, always use heat protection when styling, especially if you’re blonde or lightened.

• Maintain your tone! Book in for in-between refreshers like toners or glosses to boost vibrancy and shine.

• Weekly treatments aren’t just a luxury—they help your colour stay rich, soft and reflective.
