Autumn and Winter Hair Colour Maintenance

By Paul Edmonds, London

As we approach the winter months hair has lightened, colours have faded and sometimes become dry and dehydrated like our skin. During October the lighter and faded colour still looks great especially if you still have a tan on your skin which is why Clare Lodge Head of Colour at Paul Edmonds offers her expert tips using Kérastase's new optimized Fusio Dose formulas to ensure this look still works.

When having your colour in the salon it is important to have a clear glaze to keep a lighter colour or with a hint of colour to add missing tones in the hair, this will retain shine and the natural lights that have been created throughout summer



A week after your colour book in for an intensive moisturising in-salon treatment, this cannot be done on the day of the colour as it will interfere will the colour molecule unless you just have pre-lightened highlights then it's fine. This treatment will help with rehydrate the hair and help prepare the hair for the winter months when it's cold outside and protect it against the artificial heat inside. Try to book these treatments monthly to keep your hair and colour healthy. If you have damaged or weakened hair then alternate a moisture treatment with a reconstructive treatment



When at home apply a hair masque once a week for 10-15mins with a treatment suitable to your hair type, your colourist will be able to recommend the best for you



“By the end of October the daylight changes and this effects how our hair colour looks so I often change my clients formula to suit and flatter their skin tone. We change our clothes and our makeup seasonally so our hair should be changed accordingly too”.
