The Routine

1. STEP 1 - Tips for Washing Your Strawberry Leopard Colored Hair

   First things first. Let's talk washing your hair. This can be one of the main culprits of color fading. Therefore, it's crucial to use a color-safe shampoo. To keep your bold shade from washing down the drain, we recommend using Strawberry Leopard Shampoo For Vivid Color.

   This shampoo will gently cleanse and nourish your hair without stripping it of its natural oils and gorgeous color. Don't forget to rinse with COOL water. We all love a hot shower, but hot water can be your vivid hair color's worst enemy. Try to wash less often (no more than three times each week). Dry shampoo might just be your BFF!

2. STEP 2 - How to Keep Your Strawberry Leopard Vivid Colored Hair Conditioned and Soft

   Moisture loss is one of the top causes of color fading. You need to keep your hair conditioned if you want to prevent fading and keep your shade vibrant and long-lasting. Strawberry Leopard Hair Color already features a conditioning formula, so you can rejuvenate your hair as you color. However, you shouldn't stop there. A color-safe conditioner is key.

   We recommend the Strawberry Leopard Conditioner For Vivid Color. It delivers major moisture with powerhouse ingredients provitamin B5, mango oil, rice protein and shea butter. It's the perfect addition to your at-home hair care routine. You should use the conditioner every time you wash to keep your hair hydrated & healthy.

   For an extra boost of moisture, we also suggest doing a WEEKLY hair mask. The Strawberry Leopard Moisturizing Hair Mask is an intensive treatment that adds ultra-hydration and softness in a matter of minutes. The more moisture your hair has, the less chance you have of premature color fading.

3. STEP 3 - How to Protect Your Strawberry Leopard Hair Color from Heat and Sun Damage

   We don't want to put a stop to your fun in the sun, but UV rays can cause quite a bit of damage to your colored hair. Dryness, reduced strength and loss of color are all things that can happen with too much sun exposure. Wearing a hat or scarf over your head can help protect your hair from the sun.

   You should also be wary of using excessive heat when you style your hair. We're not saying don't pick up that flat iron or blow-dryer (although the less you do, the better), but make sure to take the proper steps to protect your hair from heat damage and color fade - that means using UV & heat protection products.

   We recommend the Strawberry Leopard UV & Heat Protector Cream For Vivid Color. It keeps hot tools & UV rays from harming bright hues. That way, your hair can always look fresh — never fried.

   You should use the UV & Heat Protector Cream For Vivid Color every time you use styling tools or plan to go outside. Yes, every time. Think of it like sunscreen for your hair.

4. STEP 4 - Strawberry Leopard Vivid Color Touch-Ups

   Now that you've got your daily and weekly routine down, it's time to go over touch-ups. Make sure you're scheduling consistent touch-ups at home to maintain color vibrancy. Once you start seeing your roots peek through, it's probably time for a refresh.

   For an easy DIY fix, we recommend Strawberry Leopard Color Depositing Mask. It comes in five corresponding Strawberry Leopard shades to help you keep your look on lock. The mask applies like a traditional hair mask to refresh vivid shades in just 5-10 minutes. We suggest using one MONTHLY, or as soon as your color starts to noticeably fade.
