How to Prepare for Your Salon Color or Highlight

May 21, 2021 · Beauty

Do you prep your hair before going to the salon to have your hair colored or bleached? If not, it is never too late to start! Your hair will thank you! Whether you are bleaching or just coloring your hair they both can be very drying to your hair, so it is especially important to replenish the moisture back into your hair. You can help your hair by prepping before going to the salon and after coming home. You will start to notice a difference in the condition of your hair long-term and the actual vibrancy of the color itself. We spend so much money to have the color performed so we should spend a little time and money keeping it looking healthy.

Some links may be affiliate links. That means I may make a commission if you use my links to purchase, at no extra added cost to you! I only recommend products that I personally love and believe in.

Do you use a masque on your hair regularly? If not, you really should! They make such a difference in the health of your hair. I will list a few different masques that you can choose from that work with different types of hair and situations. I would recommend using a masque on your hair about 1 week to 3 days before going to the salon for your color. This will help to replenish the hydration that your hair is missing from the roots to the tips! You may want to leave it on a little longer than usual just to give a little boost, I typically only leave my masques on my hair for about 3-5 minutes but before coloring, I would probably try to leave it on 5-10 minutes.

The evening before going to the salon you should shampoo, if you cannot the evening prior then you should shampoo the morning of. It is particularly important that you go into the salon with clean hair, free from build-up and product residue. A clean palette will lead to the best color results! Monat has a great shampoo that is a little clarifying but is not too harsh that would be perfect to use prior to your coloring, Black 2 in 1.

*Bonus tip! If you have Monatโ€™s Rejuveniqe Oil, bring it with you to the salon and ask them to put a few drops into your color and mix it in. It will help your color last longer and help to keep your hair from drying out.

What about after your color or highlights are completed and you go home, now what? Be kind to your hair for a few days! It has been through a lot! If you can let it air dry and try to avoid hot tools. If you are not able to then please be sure to use a heat protectant. We have a great Air Dry Cream and Heat Protectant Spray! After coloring, you will want to do another masque treatment on your hair to help replenish any moisture that the color process took out of your hair. You can always use Monatโ€™s Rejuveniqe Oil in place of a masque. Rejuveniqe Oil is a great treatment for your hair!

You should be good to go by now and have a great color or highlight to show off, not to mention healthy beautiful hair! Please let me know below if you give these suggestions a try and how they work out for you!

Planning on moving soon? ๐Ÿก I have recently been on both sides, getting my house ready to sell and scouring the market for a new home. People sometimes make the mistake of not being able to overlook easy cosmetic changes in a new home. I love to decorate so I can look past that. My wheels start turning with all kinds of ideas! ๐Ÿคฏ

Do you have a trip planned soon to Charleston, SC? ๐ŸŒด

If you do, I have 3 things that you need to add to your list of things to do! 
โ€ข
Are you a sit back and relax kind of person or let's go sightseeing? I typically like to relax but my 3 must-do ideas involve horses, shopping, and pineapples, so what could be bad about that?! I promise you will enjoy all 3 of them!

โ€ข
I debated sharing this most recent storm with yโ€™all but I thought some of you might eventually notice a change in scenery! My husband found out in February that his company was going to eliminate his entire department. Unfortunately he has not been able to find a new job in the Charleston area. We were blessed that he was offered a position with a new company in the St Petersburg, Florida area. So as much as we love Charleston and had long term plans here we will be moving. ๐Ÿก
โ€ข
Things that I know for sure:
โœจ God has something different planned for us and we need to trust in his plan. ๐Ÿค
โœจ I can handle a lot more stress then I ever thought I could. 
โœจ Things could always be worse, we have our health. 
โœจ People judge, they think they know what is going on but they really have no idea. So let them judge and think they โ€œknowโ€ but only one opinion really matters and He sees your heart. ๐Ÿ•Š Just keep shining โœจ
โ€ข
So stay tuned friends! Lots of changes are coming in a very short period of time! Weโ€™ve got this! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป
