How great do you feel after getting your hair color done? Refreshed and renewed, dying my hair a richer shade of brown always adds an extra bounce to my step. In between color appointments, I have a recipe for radiance that keeps the shade and tone in check. Want to make your hair color look fresh for longer? Here's the easiest way to give it a boost – no salon needed.
I start by using Catwalk by Tigi Fashionista Brunette Shampoo & Conditioner daily. They help to reduce any brassy, reddish tones that come out after a few weeks and keep my color intense and hair shiny by depositing a bit of color each time. There's also a set of shampoo and conditioner for blondes that deposit violet hues onto the hair to keep it vibrant. But sorry redheads and everyone else, that's as far as the collection extends for now.
Then, once a week I use John Frieda Color Refreshing Gloss for Cool Brunettes, which is an in-shower gloss-like treatment. I mentioned on my Instagram recently, that this is one drugstore product I actually buy when I run out. As a beauty blogger, I'm fortunate enough to not have to purchase products that often. But when I get hooked, I get hooked. While I'm a huge fan of getting professional glosses in-between colors, this gets the job done, too. No salon visit required. Like the shampoo and conditioner, it deposits color at a more intense level to counteract brassiness and keep your shade rich. Once a week I leave it on my damp, clean hair for about five minutes and rinse. This collection is available for brunettes, blondes and redheads, and also comes in warm and cool tones, so you can get the perfect match.
Don't dye your hair? Lucky b*tch. You can still use these products to enhance your hair color or try using a clear gloss like Rita Hazan's Ultimate Shine Gloss, just to boost your shine game.
