Few things can surpass the joy that comes with freshly coloured hair. Whether you’ve gone for a subtle shade shift or experimented with a bold change, it goes without saying that you’d want your new 'do to stay vibrant and fresh for as long as it possibly can. While adequate care and regular touch-ups go a long way in making the colour last, it’s also imperative to invest in haircare products that are specially designed for colour-treated hair. This will not only ensure that your colour lasts longer, but will also keep your strands healthy and damage-free in the long run.
We spoke to celebrity hairstylist and one of our expert panellists, Aanchal Morwani and got her to share her top haircare products for coloured hair. Scroll through to know her picks.
This multitasking formula works on multiple levels to keep your hair colour fresh for longer. It locks in colour to ensure longevity. Plus, it has antioxidants that delay the fading process by preventing free radical damage. It has a rich, conditioning texture that actually smoothens your hair’s cuticle and in turn, improves shine and manageability, making your colour appear super glossy.
Another heavy-duty formula, this conditioner comes packed with orchid extracts to delay fading and keep the tone, depth and vibrancy of your hair colour intact, for up to nine weeks. Infused with bee pollen, it adds intense hydration to your hair to keep it soft, smooth and shiny. The best part? This conditioner also has UV filters that can protect your hair from sun damage and any subsequent fading.
If you’re looking for a shampoo that’s effective while also being extremely gentle, this one’s your pick. It’s sulphate-free and works great for anyone who has a sensitive scalp or is prone to allergies. Besides, it comes supercharged with milk proteins to keep your strands soft and moisturised. It also has hydrolyzed whey protein that repairs your hair shaft and boosts shine.
This one is a must-have for anyone with colour-treated hair, especially if you tend to heat-style your strands regularly. This all-in-one leave in conditioner not only safeguards your colour against fading, but also delivers deep conditioning to make the hair smooth and frizz-free. Additionally, it acts as a heat protectant. Formulated with active ingredients like chia seeds and kukui oil, it seals in the pigment to deliver refreshed vibrancy. For best results, apply it on the length of your hair when it’s still damp—before you heat-style.
This one is such a unique product that actually helps you get an at-home touch-up, if your hair colour is in the red or burgundy colour family. This deep conditioning mask also serves as a temporary hair colour that instantly refreshes the vibrancy of your existing shade, boosting shine and dimension with just one wash. Enriched with apricot kernel oil and a blend of amino acids, it delivers intense nourishment to keep your hair feeling soft and silky.
This leave-in treatment spray is known to protect the vibrancy of your hair colour for up to 12 weeks and also doubles up as a heat protectant to keep the colour from fading. Spiked with apricot and avocado oils, the nourishing formula smoothens and seals the cuticle to lock in pigment, enhance shine and reduce frizz. If you have medium to thick hair, go for this one since it has a richer formula which is specially formulated for such hair types.
