How can I best protect my hair color?
The rich brown and golden honey highlights of Allie’s look should be protected like any other hair color. “Hair is a lot like skin, and color ultimately changes the chemical makeup of the hair. Color-treated hair needs hydration, protection, and protein,” Alexis told E!
To protect your hair, she recommends leave-in conditioner and heat protect after washing and conditioning your hair. Of course, you can just let it dry naturally. “I can’t live without IGK’s Good Behavior 4-in-1 Prep Spray,” she said. “It’s moisturizing, protects from hot tools, protects from the sun, and is perfect for all hair types.”
Her other favorite? K18 molecular repair hair mask. “Although all color clients receive a full treatment in my chair, I recommend using the chair at home for at least the first month after color,” she explained. “It rebuilds the proteins that are broken down during hair coloring, so you can continue your hair color treatment throughout your life.”
Alexis also recommends K18’s protective shampoo and conditioner. “You can’t go wrong with K18, and while you’re at it, pick up the Damage Shield shampoo and conditioner,” she said.
