Keep Your Balayage Beautiful for Longer
Balayage is gloriously low-maintenance compared with foils, but a little aftercare keeps it looking soft, bright and glossy for months. Here's what our colour team at Wigs & Warpaint in Sheffield recommends after your balayage.
Wait, Then Wash Gently
Leave it a couple of days before your first wash so the colour settles. After that, wash less often and use lukewarm water with a cool final rinse; heat and frequent washing are what fade colour fastest.
Use Colour-Safe Products
Switch to a sulphate-free, colour-protecting shampoo and conditioner. If your balayage is blonde or cool-toned, a purple shampoo once a week keeps brassiness away and the tone clean. We'll recommend the right products for your shade.
Tone and Gloss Top-Ups
The secret to balayage that always looks fresh is a quick toner or gloss every few weeks. It refreshes the tone and adds shine in a short appointment, and means you can stretch the time between full colours.
Protect the Condition
Lightened ends need looking after. Always use a heat protectant, keep styling temperatures moderate, and book a bond or moisture treatment such as K18 to keep the hair strong and glossy. Protect it from strong sun and chlorine too.
