What should clients limit to help prolong their hair color?

Limiting heat styling is an effective strategy for clients looking to prolong their hair color. High temperatures from tools like flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers can cause the hair’s cuticle layer to lift, allowing color molecules to escape more quickly. This can lead to faded color and compromised hair health.

When clients frequently use heat styling tools without protection, they may also introduce damage to their hair, making it more porous and susceptible to color loss. Using heat protectants can help, but minimizing the use of these tools altogether is the best way to ensure that hair color remains vibrant for an extended period. This works in conjunction with other hair care practices that protect and preserve color-treated hair.
