Don’t Forget About At-Home Color Maintenance and Protection

All coloring must be protected and cared for. That’s why it’s your duty as a color professional to remind your clients about the importance of at-home color care to help maintain their beautiful look. Quality hair color extends long after a client’s salon visit, after all! This includes using a nourishing shampoo to cleanse the hair with the right moisturizing masks, heat and sun protection, and even restructuring treatments.

We recommend the Eksperience™ Color Protection range of products— especially Eksperience Color Protection Color Sealing Mask™. This color sealing mask helps to protect and revive hair color, for long-lasting color intensity, vivacity, and shine. It helps create a barrier that maintains hair color for at least five washes, while keeping hair moisturized and protected against UV rays. Featuring an exclusive Aquamaris Complex, Eksperience™ products are formulated with a unique blend of pure seawater and marine ingredients for nature-inspired, newly-crafted at-home beauty rituals.

Additionally, always remember to space out color applications over time and properly apply your chosen color technique for each individual hairstyle.
