How to keep coloured braids vibrant

Light and bright shades show dust, build-up and frizz faster. A few tips to keep colour clean and glossy until the end.

Keep light braids free of build-up

Heavy oils and creams leave yellowish marks on light hair. Choose clear, lightweight products and apply them to the scalp, not the lengths.

Washing

  • A sulphate-free shampoo diluted with water.
  • For blonde and pastel shades — occasionally a purple shampoo, but only briefly.
  • Always rinse until the water runs completely clear.

Sun and pool

Strong sun and chlorine can change the shade of synthetic hair. At the beach wear a scarf or hat, and rinse your braids with fresh water after the pool.

At night

A satin bonnet protects not only the shape but also the colour — a cotton pillowcase leaves fibres and dust that show most on light hair.

Refreshing

A shine mousse once a week brings colours back to life. And if one light braid gets too frizzy, we can replace it individually without redoing the whole head.
