Hair-Color Maintenance at Ulta Beauty
Thinking of Dyeing Your Hair? Keep It Nourished With These Moisturizing Products
Dyeing your hair is all fun and games until you notice dry ends or extra breakage. Whether you like to change the color of your hair as often as your salad order or once every six months, you need the right products to maintain the color and keep it nourished. With hair-color trends popping up left and right (such as checkered hair color or muy melted), it's easy to get inspired and thus book your next color appointment faster than you can finish getting through that salad line. Luckily, hair pros get it! Ahead is a list of products to consider for soft, hydrated, and healthy hair.
Seen Deeper Conditioner
A deep conditioner is a must after dyeing your hair, and the Seen Deeper Conditioner ($28) is highly rated for its soothing and nonirritating results (yay!). In addition, this color- and keratin-safe conditioner helps promote a healthy scalp with bisabolol, a natural ingredient with skin-soothing properties.
Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray
Who knew one single spray could do so much? The Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray ($48) is a multitasking leave-in treatment that moisturizes and conditions, protects against heat damage, smooths and adds shine, detangles, and so much more. It's perfect for hair-color enthusiasts and those who like to keep their beauty space as tidy as possible. Minimalists, this one's for you!
Biolage ColorLast Shampoo
Help maintain your strands' rich and shiny color with the Biolage ColorLast Shampoo ($24). Its gentle, low-pH formula doesn't strip color and instead helps prolong its tone and vibrancy — it's even suitable for non-color-treated hair. In honor of Earth Day, the brand is celebrating with a limited-edition bottle that's made of 100 percent recycled paper and plastic and 40 percent less plastic than traditional bottles. How cool is that?
Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil
If you've ever suffered severe hair damage, you're probably already familiar with the beloved hair-care brand Olaplex. The No. 7 Bonding Oil ($28) is a highly concentrated reparative oil that's weightless and used for taming frizz while increasing shine, softness, and color vibrancy. It also helps restore a healthy appearance and texture so you can feel cool and confident about your hair.
Kenra Platinum Blow-Dry Spray
If your hair is color treated, the last thing you want is to deal with heat damage. So to save you from thirst-quenching strands, the Kenra Platinum Blow-Dry Spray ($37) decreases blow-dry time by 50 percent while providing intense heat protection. It's also ready to soothe, soften, and detangle your locks for a look that's gorgeous and frizz-free.
IGK Cash In Instant Repair Serum
If you can appreciate a nourishing hair serum, you're gonna love the IGK Cash In Instant Repair Serum ($34). This newbie of the brand uses a biomimetic bond-building technology that instantly repairs and protects against breakage. It contains a vegan silk extract that supports hair strength and works with amla oil — an ingredient that provides deep moisture while sealing the hair's cuticle. Did we mention it also mends split ends? Yep, that too!
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo
To help extend your color, you might want to skip washing your hair every day, and dry shampoo can do wonders for that. On no-wash days, the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Clean Dry Shampoo ($30) cleans and refreshes the scalp, leaving no visible residue. It gives a just-washed look by balancing sebum levels and eliminating sweat, oil, and odor.
Kristin Ess Hair The One Purple Shampoo
It doesn't matter which ones have more fun: blondes and brunettes can both benefit from the Kristin Ess Hair The One Purple Shampoo ($13). The ultraviolet pigment offers intense toning while removing brass and yellow tones in the hair. Adding to that, it helps protect from environmental stressors and color fade to give your hair the three most-coveted S's: strong, shiny, smooth results.
Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment
Help keep your hair color fresh and radiant with the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment ($30). This preshampoo treatment protects against color fade and repairs hair strength while defending against the negative effects of hair coloring and heat tools. After just one use, weakened bonds are restored and hair becomes stronger, smoother, and more manageable.
