For many of us, hair color is a statement of our personality and style. Whether you're a blonde bombshell or a fiery redhead, you want your hair to look its best at all times. But the truth is, color-treated hair requires special care and attention to maintain its vibrancy and shine. That's why we offer a range of products specifically formulated to be safe for color-treated hair. Here's everything you need to know about using Pai-Shau to keep your hair color looking fresh and beautiful.

Tip #1: Use a Color-Safe Shampoo

The first step to maintaining vibrant hair color is using a shampoo that is specifically formulated to be safe for color-treated hair. Our Replenishing Hair Cleanser is a sulfate-free shampoo that gently cleanses hair without stripping it of its natural oils all while keeping color fresh + fade free. The best part is that it's free from harmful chemicals like parabens, sulfates and phthalates, which can harm hair and dull color.

Tip #2: Condition with Care

Conditioning is an essential step in any hair care routine, especially when it comes to color-treated hair. Replenishing Cream Conditioner’s color-safe formula nourishes and hydrates hair, leaving it silky and smooth, while our proprietary blend of amino acids strengthen. It also helps to detangle hair and restore natural moisture balance, which is vital to keep color-treated hair from looking dull and lifeless. 

Tip #3: Protect Your Hair from Heat

Heat styling tools like straighteners, curling irons, and hair dryers can damage color-treated hair, making it look lackluster over time. To protect your hair from heat damage, use our favorite oil-free daily rejuvenating concentrate, Biphasic Infusion. Our advanced binary technology drives the Signature Tea Complex inside the cuticle to nourish the hair’s structure, attracting moisture and locking it inside. Fortified with antioxidants and amino acids, it surrounds hair with a sheer veil of shielding properties to protect against thermal and environmental stressors.

Tip #4: Use a Nourishing Moisture Mask to Prolong Color
To keep your hair color looking fresh and vibrant, use a color-safe hydrating treatment like Supreme Revitalizing Mask. This nourishing mask helps to repair and restore bleached or color-treated hair, leaving it looking shiny and healthy. The formula is enriched with nourishing ingredients like our Signature Tea Complex, argan oil, and wild thyme which work together to revive and rejuvenate hair. The mask can be used once or twice a week to lock in moisture and maintain the vibrancy of hair color.

Tip #5: Refresh Your Color

Over time, hair color can fade and lose its vibrancy. To keep your color looking fresh and bright be sure to make regular hair appointments! On average your stylists would suggest every 6-8 weeks for those who like to stay as vibrant as possible or 4-6 if covering grays. Need help to get through a few more weeks? Consider making an appointment for a gloss to help revive color between appointments. 

Don’t forget! Using color-safe hair care products is essential to maintaining the vibrancy of hair color. Pai-Shau's range of products can help keep your hair looking healthy and bright. With Pai-Shau, you can have shiny, vibrant hair without the fuss. Shop the full line of care and styling products here.

One of the most exciting ways to refresh your look is to give yourself a new hair color. Whether you’re going bold, adding highlights, or covering up grays, dying your hair is one of the simplest and most effective treatments to help you achieve your desired outcome.

A good dye job always looks fantastic at first, but if you want the color to last and your hair to remain healthy, you need to establish a good haircare routine for color-treated hair. In addition to keeping your hair protected from buildup and pollutants, color-treated hair is prone to dryness, making your strands brittle if not properly cared for.

Have no fear if you’ve recently colored your hair but aren’t sure how to maintain it. We’re here to guide you through the best haircare routine for the job and to suggest the best products to help you maintain your newly colored locks, so read on.

Washing and Conditioning Color-Treated Hair

Washing and conditioning color-treated hair requires a consistent routine that includes color-safe hair products. The shampoo and conditioner you choose to use on your color-treated hair should be formulated to cleanse and nourish the hair while removing buildup without stripping the color from the strands.

The best shampoo for color-treated hair is one like Pai-Shau’s Opulent Volume Hair Cleanser. Made with a botanical complex that features white nettle, ginseng, and Gleditsia combined with a Signature Tea Complex that removes buildup and supports healthy hair growth, this shampoo checks all the boxes.

How to Remove Buildup from Color-Treated Hair

Products like gel, mousse, hairspray, and naturally occurring sweat, oil, and dead skin cells can all cause buildup on the hair and scalp. Buildup can cause several issues, including flaking, itchiness, redness, and even oily or crusty skin. It can also make the hair appear lank and resistant to styling.

After cleansing your scalp with the safest shampoo for color-treated hair, it’s good to add some extra nourishment every once in a while. Products like Pai-Shau’s Supreme Revitalizing Mask should be applied a couple of times per week after washing and conditioning the hair. This luxurious hair mask is formulated to infuse weightless moisture into the scalp and hair while nourishing damaged cuticles.

How to Protect Color-Treated Hair

To ensure the longest-lasting color and shine, it’s essential to use a hair protectant for color-treated hair. Something to BeLeave-In and Biphasic Infusion are two excellent products for protecting color-treated hair from pollutants and other environmental factors while nourishing and replenishing strands that may be weak from buildup.

Something to BeLeave-In is much more than a leave-in conditioner. This “Miracle Multeatasker” protects hair from pollutants and heat while enhancing color and smoothing and detangling hair. Biphasic Infusion is a daily rejuvenating concentrate made with an advanced binary technology using the brand’s Signature Tea Complex. It’s also fortified with amino acids and antioxidants. Its sheer veil of shielding properties helps protect strands against both thermal and environmental factors.

Keep your colored locks healthy and strong and ensure the color will shine for a long time by following the haircare routine outlined above. Whether you color your hair regularly or just like to make a bold change occasionally, the haircare products at Pai-Shau are formulated with a Signature Tea Complex and other effective natural ingredients to help you make the most of your color-treated hair.
