VIVID HAIR CARE GUIDE The Hair Sorceress — Milwaukee The goal: keep your color richer, longer, with less fading. 1. WASH COLD, WASH LESS - Hot water opens the cuticle and pulls pigment. Rinse in the coolest water you can stand. - Aim for 2-3 washes per week maximum. Dry shampoo is your friend. 2. USE A SULFATE-FREE, COLOR-SAFE SHAMPOO - Sulfates strip fashion color fast. Read the label. - A cold-wash color shampoo is the single highest-impact swap you can make. 3. CONDITION WITH PIGMENT - A depositing/pigment mask tops up tone between salon visits. - Ask me for a custom ratio to mix into your conditioner at home. 4. PROTECT FROM HEAT - Always use a thermal protectant up to 450F before hot tools. - Air-dry when you can. Heat accelerates fade. 5. MIND THE WATER - Chlorine and hard water shift tone (especially blues and greens). - Rinse hair with clean water before swimming, or wear a cap. Questions? Bring this sheet to your next appointment.
