Keeping Your Color Fresh

Down here at Platinum & Company in Manhattan KS, we want you to love your color everyday! Not just after it’s fresh from the salon! Have you ever wondered how often you should be visiting to keep your look fresh? We recommend coming in to freshen up your color every 6-8 weeks depending on your color routine! If this feels like not enough time in between or you’re dying to see us after four weeks, there are a few options for you! You can always pop in to see us for a color gloss or toner half way between your appointments! Needing to touch up some grays but not ready to come in for a full color? Grab one of our Root Rescue kits online at www.platinumandcompany.com and pick up in salon or ship to your door to touch up grays at home!

We still know that in between hair appointments you might be feeling a little blah. That is totally normal and we are here to help! That’s why we are sharing our best tips for keeping your color fresh in between appointments!

Tip #1 – Use a color safe shampoo and conditioner!

You can find a few of our favorites at shopplatinumandcompany.com or one of our service providers can help you pick the perfect one for your specific hair goals.

Tip #2 – Go longer in between washes.

That’s right! Meet dry shampoo, your new best friend! The less you wash, the longer the color molecules are able to work their magic inside of the hair!

Tip #3 – Use heat protectant.

Have you ever felt like your blonde is yellowing or your ends look a little, well, crispy? Then there is no denying you skipped the heat protectant! Ask your stylist to show you on your hands next time you visit one hand with protectant and one without and we know you will be a lifer with heat protectant! Heat styling gets a bad wrap, but doesn’t have to be damaging to your hair! Heat protectant creates a barrier between the styling tool heat and your hair to keep your hair looking fabulous in between appointments

Tip #4 – Try an at home mask.

Using a mask at home is a great way to target your direct hair needs in between salon visits! Whether your hair is needing moisture, lacking shine, or just won’t grow we’ve got you covered! Not sure which direction to go? Let our stylists choose the perfect mask for you at your next appointment! And if you love a good try it before you buy it – take home a 1 oz sample of the mask of your choice for $12 to see if you love it (& we know you will!)
