After color treatment, like ion Color Brilliance After-Color Treatment, is used to restore moisture, balance pH levels, and seal the hair cuticle after a hair coloring service, helping to lock in color and minimize damage. Here's a breakdown of how to use it:
- Cleanse Hair: After your coloring process, lightly shampoo your hair to remove any residual color or chemicals.
- Towel Dry: Gently towel-dry your hair to remove excess water. The after-color treatment is most effective when applied to damp, not soaking wet, hair.
- Apply Treatment: Apply the after-color treatment generously and evenly throughout your hair, focusing on the areas that were most heavily colored or feel the most damaged.
- Wait: Leave the treatment on your hair for 3-4 minutes. This allows the ingredients to penetrate the hair shaft and work their magic.
- Rinse: Thoroughly rinse the treatment from your hair with cool water. Cool water helps to further seal the cuticle and lock in color.
Using an after-color treatment is a crucial step in maintaining the health and vibrancy of your colored hair. It helps to prolong the life of your color, reduce fading, and leave your hair feeling soft, smooth, and manageable.
