Over 55% of women colour their hair, plus an increasing percentage of men, and given all the time, effort and money involved its well worth investing in whatever products make it last.
I've tried out a range of colour-enhancing products and my new fav range is Redken's Colour Extend. Their five step programme may seem extreme but the result is worth every effort. Colour Extend helps to slow down the effects of each of the four main causes of colour fade; environmental pollution, damaged hair cuticles, exposure to fading minerals in water and normal washing. The result is vibrant, shining and colour-rich hair.
The range promises to seal in colour, to protect hair from environmental effects due to UVA and UVB agents, to increase shine thanks to the range's cranberry oil and to strengthen hair from within as a result of an injection of ceramide.
After shampooing and conditioning, apply the Rich Recovery once a week, preferable leaving in for a long as possible, while wrapping your hair in a warm towel. Then spritz Total Recharge all-over damp hair each day to protect the cuticles. Finish by rubbing a small amount of Shine Enrich into palms and rubbing into the ends of the hair to seal split ends, smooth fly-aways and leave your hair in the best condition possible.
