If you color, bleach, or dye your hair, we’re probably not the first to tell you that color-safe hair products are an absolute must. But, like sorting laundry by darks and lights or flossing twice daily, knowing you should do something doesn’t always mean sticking to it.
Need some motivation to make the switch? In the spirit of the Halloween season, we’ll help you sort the color-damaging tricks from the color-safe treats!
Let’s start with one of our sweeter treats of the season: now through October 31st, you can enjoy 31% OFF all Liters and Pro Sizes! Keep reading for the spooktacular code to use at checkout.
Now that you’re ready to level up your fall haircare, here’s a complete list of the benefits of using color-safe hair products.
No Tricks, Just Treats: The Benefits of Using Color-Safe Hair Products
Less Fading
If you’ve made the mistake of washing freshly dyed hair with regular shampoo, you already know how quickly colored hair fades. Depending on your natural color and new dye/toner, it can only take just one improper washing session to kiss your color goodbye!
By targeting all seven factors of color fade, our approach to color preservation aims to keep your shade as eye-grabbing as possible for as many washes as possible.
But we didn’t stop at color-safe shampoo. Our products target fading 24/7!
Take our Volume Blow Dry Spray or Moisture Styling Crème – these powerhouse products protect against thermal damage to prevent heat-related fading. Or, check out our Baobab Recovery Conditioner and Baobab Recovery Treatment Spray: they focus on damage, which can also trigger premature fading.
Lasting color, here you come!
More Vibrancy
But color fade isn’t the only factor that contributes to your overall hair color. You know that ‘pop’ of color you only get right after a color session? The vibrant intensity even your usual color-safe shampoo can’t preserve? We’re on it!
Powered by antioxidants like sunflower seed extract, every single Colorproof product goes beyond color protection to enhance color vibrancy. From our Volume Shampoo to our Instant Reboot Treatment Masque to Lift It Mousse, we strive to boost the intensity and brightness of your hair color throughout your routine.
For that fresh-color vibe weeks after your salon appointment, targeting vibrancy is essential!
Gentle Cleansing
Another perk of color-safe shampoos and conditioners is their gentle approach to cleansing. Harsh sulfates found in standard products can strip the hair of natural oils and lift the hair cuticle, leaving your strands prone to damage. By contrast, color-safe formulas nurture scalp health and maintain healthy pH levels.
In other words, color-safe cleansing is a win-win for both hair color and hair health!
Pro-tip: if scalp health and hair growth are top concerns, check out our Bio Repair Scalp & Hair Therapy Kit!
Moisture Retention
Dry hair loses color faster than hydrated hair, so many color-safe products enhance moisture. Because bleach makes strands prone to dryness and damage, this perk is especially helpful for people who lighten their hair!
That may be why Moisture Shampoo and Moisture Conditioner are some of our fan-favorite formulas. With ingredients like pea protein, they work together to rehydrate and replenish thirsty hair, enhancing overall vitality with a lightweight finish.
Get ready to say hello to hydration!
Reduced Hair Breakage
To strengthen color, color-safe formulas must strengthen the hair shaft. As a result, they also help prevent breakage, split ends, and heat damage!
Because heat is notorious for causing breakage, we recommend checking out our line of color-safe hair stylers. Volume Blow Dry Spray and Biorepair Thicken Blow Dry Spray offer a heat shield, while Lift It Mousse and Radically Smooth Taming Crème enhance texture.
For resilient, noticeably healthy hair, you’ll be glad you switched to a color-safe routine!
UV Protection
But styling isn’t the only heat that can hurt your hair. Did you know that the sun can also damage your hair color and overall hair health?
Some color-safe products – including everything at Colorproof – include UV filters that shield your hair from sun damage. That’s why we recommend using our Essential Leave-In on a daily basis. On top of detangling and minimizing static, it contains Vitamins A, C, and E to protect against external damage all day long!
Extra Shine
Color-safe hair products seal and soothe the hair cuticle to lock in color. A lovely side effect of the strategy? It also helps the cuticle lie flat, making your strands reflect more light for a natural, glossy appearance. In other words, extra shine!
If you’ve been dreaming of more luminous locks, color-safe products – and Smooth Shampoo and Smooth Conditioner in particular – will help you get there.
Pro-tip: for on-demand shine, we’re especially big fans of our Smooth Drops. The clear, featherlight formula restores vitality, instantly removing frizz, adding luster, and enhancing manageability.
More Time Between Touch-Ups
As much as we love visiting the salon, frequent color sessions are time-consuming and expensive.
So, the logic here is simple: By preserving the longevity of your color, color-safe products extend the time between appointments, ultimately saving time and money.
Even better, when the time comes for your next salon session, your healthy, balanced hair will be the perfect canvas for your colorist to work their magic!
