Products to Make Your Hair Color Last Longer- The List

1. IGK’s First Class Dry Shampoo

Believe it or not, one of the top ways people’s hair color fades quickly is because you are washing your hair too often and with hot water. If you have color-treated hair, you should only be washing a few times a week. When you wash your hair, you are stripping more and more of that color out.

Yes, we know hair gets greasy, smells, etc. That is why IGK’s First Class Dry Shampoo is ESSENTIAL! Dry shampoo will help make your hair color last longer because this heavy-duty charcoal dry shampoo allows you to go even longer between washes, even after workouts.

Its detoxifying charcoal powder lifts dirt and build up while absorbing oil and sweat. While its cooling, calming white tea powder calms scalp and strengthens hair follicles.

The IGK First Class Dry Shampoo works wonders, you can see in the before and after pictures how after using, the hair looks fresh and clean.

A bonus is that it has UV protection and so you won’t have to worry about the sun ruining your color.

This is our favorite product to help make your hair color last longer. The IGK First Class Dry Shampoo will definitely buy you some time away from the salon chair.

2. Oribe’s Masque For Beautiful Color

The Oribe Masque for Beautiful Color is everything and more! Not only does the masque help make your hair color last longer but it helps enhance your color!

The masque adds life and shine to your hair with the latest color-maintenance technology.

Its intense, cuticle-enriching conditioning, color-protecting UV filters and next-generation frizz-taming bio-polymers supercharge this color-enhancing, hair-repairing, glossifying masque.

Oribe’s products are known for protecting the hair while enhancing color. Not only does this masque help with your current color but also will keep your hair prepped for future color treatments.

I use this masque about once a week and leave it in for 10 minutes. Using a masque is crucial if you frequent color your hair especially blonde. Your hair integrity is super important.

Coming from someone who has been dying their hair for 16 years, I truly adore this masque and look forward to using it because my hair not only looks but feels amazing after!

3. Oribe’s The Cleanse Clarifying Shampoo

Another Oribe product! This clarifying shampoo goes deep, purifying your hair and scalp without stripping its essence. The volcanic ash powers this detoxifying mousse, which polishes away dirt, oil, and product buildup. Your hair is restored, with a new inner glow.

I have blonde hair and I often get my front pieces covered in bronzer making them look brassy or just straight orange if I’m being messy.

This can get annoying. Thankfully I was introduced to the clarifying shampoo! I am able to make my front pieces look brand new with the shampoo. Seriously, Oribe is a life and color saver.

The clarifying shampoo will definitely prolong your time away from the salon!

4. Kérastase’s Blond Absolu Blonde Highlights Hair Set

If you are blonde, this one is for you.

If you are blonde but you’re laid back about it. You want low maintenance color and you also enjoy the very chic look of contrasting grown-out roots. This is made for you.

I know the annoyance of having your platinum blonde change tones especially in the summer. Your $400 color doesn’t last after 2 weeks, I get it.

The Blonde Set is a game changer, it keeps your blonde bright and makes your $400 color last until your next appointment.

If you spend money coloring your hair, you have to spend money to keep up with it. This set helps your color last longer than ever.

The Highly concentrated purple pigments neutralize and remove brassy & yellow undertones.

Final Thoughts

Hair color is such a fun process. But, unfortunately, it can also be a hassle to maintain especially if you are blonde.

I love going to the hair salon and getting pampered but doing it every 4 weeks can get annoying not to mention time consuming.

I personally use the products I listed above. IGK, Oribe, and Kerastase are my favorite brands in the hair industry.

I have been coloring my hair for 16 years and have tried so many brands but these 3 have stuck with me. My hair integrity has remained intact and I credit it to these products and my amazing hairstylist.

Let me know what you think of these products if you try them!
