Hair colouring tips

Expert advice for achieving a great result

Our experts have put together these hair colouring tips to ensure you get a result you'll love.

Fine hair generally takes less time to absorb colour than coarse hair.
Your "starting" colour is the colour on your head right now. Your "starting" colour + a new hair colour = your new hair colour.
Do your re-touch or root application when 1cm of new hair shows, usually about 4 weeks after colouring your hair.
After colour treatment, avoid exposing your hair to the sun. The sun is a natural hair lightener, and over-exposure can cause hair to fade or even change colour.
Shampoo or rinse you hair immediately after swimming in chlorine or salt water. Chemicals left in the hair can accelerate fading, especially when mixed with the sun.
Use Clairol's unique ColourSeal^TM Gloss conditioner once a week to maintain that just coloured look and feel.
