How to Make Hair Colour Last Longer
Whether you colour at home or in a salon, a few habits help keep your shade vibrant between appointments. Wash with a gentle sulfate-free shampoo for coloured hair and follow with a conditioner from the same routine. Rinse with cool or lukewarm water rather than hot, and avoid washing more often than your hair needs. Protect your lengths from heat styling and strong sun, and finish with a leave-in such as EverPure 21-in-1 Treatment. To find the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type, shop the full EverPure sulfate-free range.
Hard Water, Build-Up and Colour-Treated Hair
If your hair feels rough, looks dull or your colour seems flat, build-up may be the cause. Hard water contains minerals such as calcium and magnesium that can settle on the hair, along with residue from styling products. A clarifying shampoo removes that build-up so hair feels fresh and light again. EverPure Sulfate-Free Clarifying Shampoo is designed for this, without sulfates. Learn more in our guide to clarifying shampoo and build-up.
Why Blonde Hair Turns Brassy, and How Purple Shampoo Helps
Blonde, highlighted and grey hair can pick up unwanted yellow or orange tones over time. Purple sits opposite yellow on the colour wheel, so a purple shampoo helps neutralize those warm tones. Use EverPure Purple Shampoo in place of your usual shampoo, then follow with EverPure Purple Conditioner. How often and how long to leave it on depends on your hair, so follow the directions on the pack. Read more about why purple shampoo belongs in your routine and how an at-home toner can refresh blonde hair.
Adding Shine and Strength to Your Routine
Once your cleansing routine is in place, you can add targeted care. If colour or heat styling has left your hair feeling weaker, start with EverPure Bonding Shampoo, and for finer hair that needs more body, try EverPure Thickening Shampoo. When your colour looks flat rather than faded, a gloss can bring back shine: explore the hair gloss and toner collection or the Glycolic Gloss haircare range, which adds shine without changing your shade.
What Vegan Means for EverPure
EverPure formulas are vegan, which means they contain no animal-derived ingredients. Combined with sulfate-free cleansing, that makes EverPure an easy choice if you want a gentler routine for colour-treated hair. New to sulfate-free?
