To keep his color intact throughout the summer and protect his hair, we follow the advice of our experts.
Make a color in summer, good or bad idea?
Attention, no radical change before departure!
"We do not try an Irish red," insists Christophe Robin, "Before the beach, you prepare your color as you prepare your body."
- M-1 before departure:
you put your hair in intensive care to rehydrate with a weekly oil bath to ask for half an hour under hot towel before shampooing, or all night.
Another option: twice a week, in the evening, after shampooing, follow with a hydrating mask to leave overnight and rinse without shampooing the next day.
- J - 10 before departure:
we go to the salon. "The color remains fragile the first two days," concedes Christophe Robin. It will not survive if it is immediately subjected to UV and swimming.
How to reboost its color before departure?
On a blonde base , no sweeping, under penalty of being peroxidized.
" The lightening is done on the roots, on the edge of the face and on the tips," explains Catarina, color expert at the Atelier des Couleurs.
To reboost the average chestnut, densify the color with some golden highlights: "It's the secret that the sun effect does not pull on the yellow," says our expert.
Last option, ultra-light and therefore valid for all: a tone-on-tone without oxidation that prolongs the intensity and brightness of pigments "top coat" hair.
How to maintain your color during the holidays?
We still put on oils, whose hydrophobic power protects the color.
And we abandon the shampoos anti-salt and anti-chlorine, too strippers for pigments.
