How To Take Care Of Balayage Highlights
So you spent a small fortune getting those gorgeous balayage highlights that make your hair look sunkissed all year long. As we all know, sexy hand painted locks don’t come cheap. Here are a few tips to help you extend the life of your hair color and keep your balayage highlights looking fresh all year long.
1. Use A SLS Free Shampoo
Traditional shampoo contain SLS (sodium laureth sulfate) which can strip your hair color fast. This harsh chemical can be found in household cleaners so we definitely do not want this touching our hair. In order to preserve your color use a SLS free shampoo like [easyazon_link identifier=”B007UZ44I2″ locale=”US” tag=”shophairdryers-20″]Bumble & Bumble Color Minded[/easyazon_link] or any of the shampoos from the affordable [easyazon_link keywords=”Giovanni shampoo” locale=”US” tag=”shophairdryers-20″]Giovanni[/easyazon_link] line which are all sls-free.

2. Dry Shampoo Between Washings
Shampooing your hair every day will fade color before you know it. Try to wash your hair just every 3-4 days or for as long as you can stand it and use a dry shampoo like [easyazon_link identifier=”B000Z65DZG” locale=”US” tag=”shophairdryers-20″]Oscar Blandi Pronto[/easyazon_link] between washings in order to keep your hair oil-free and fresh. Dry Shampoo also has the benefit of giving your locks a big volume boost.
