Hair Color Tips......

• Wet your hair with bottled spring water before getting in a chlorine pool. It will dilute the harsh chemicals.
• Be careful in the sun. Please use hats, scarves or products with sunscreens to help protect against color fade and the drying effects of the sun. Great for the beach, leave-in conditioners generally contain sunscreens to protect against color fade.
• Shampoo gently with a shampoo specially created for color-treated hair.
• Use color enhancing conditioners as color grows out to help blend root areas.
• Don't brush hair when wet. Comb with a wide-tooth comb, working tangles out as you move from the ends toward the scalp.
• Don't over dry. When you blow dry, dry the hair until it is almost, but not completely, dry.
• Leave some moisture in to prevent static.
