Vivid hair colors are here to stay

Vivid hair has been a hot commodity for a while, and it’s not going out of style any time soon. Now that summer’s here, we look forward to seeing everything from pretty pastels to bright, bold neons.

I love that vivid shades are still having their moment! It allows people to express themselves and showcase their individuality. Why live in a world of just blondes and brunettes when you can live in a world of endless color possibilities?

If you’re considering stepping outside of the standard color palette, here’s what you need to know:

MAINTENANCE

Like any other hair color, vivid hair requires special care to maintain its vibrancy. Pick up a professional shampoo and conditioner that are either sulfate free or have minimal sulfates. Sulfates make our shampoos lather, but they also pull out your beautiful color. I always recommend keeping the water as cool as possible while shampooing, which will keep the cuticle from lifting too much and allowing color to slip out. Vivid specialists recommend adding a dry shampoo to your routine as well. This will help to extend the time between washes and combat oiliness. Regular visits to the salon for touchups are normal and typically are recommended every four to seven weeks.

Color bomb masks are a great alternative between visits; you can ask your professional about them. They are customized specifically to keep your color vibrant at home until your next session.

LONGEVITY AND INTEGRITY

As a professional, it’s most important to keep your clients’ hair strong and healthy. Make sure to find a professional who is skilled in color correction and pre-lightening. If the person you’re trusting with your hair doesn’t have the proper training, things can go south during a color appointment. Professional treatments and bond builders are must-haves in any transformative color, as they help maintain the hair’s health and integrity.

Vivid hair is a great way to personalize your look. From adding pops of color with extensions, pairing an edgy cut with your new neon shade or creating endless waves of shimmering hues, you can transform your look into a stunning spectrum of colors!
