How Do You Take Care Of Your Balayage In The Brisbane Sun?

The natural “lived in” nature of Balayage means that you can space out your appointments at your hairdresser, average spacing is around 3-4months but could be as long as 6 depending on how quickly your hair grows. But how do you keep your hair looking beautiful in between your balayages?

Here are are my Top 3 Pro Tips:

1. I recommend at least 1 or 2 visits to your hairdressers for toning and a deep treatment. This allows us to correct any unwanted pigments that could have developed due to the UV rays, and we know Brisbane is super sunny. The treatment helps keep your hair hydrated and healthy which means your toner will last longer. At our salon near New Farm Brisbane we have deep regenerating basin treatments that restore sun damaged hair to its beautiful shiny and healthy self. My favourite treatment is the Oribe Renewal Remedies: Strengthening - For those who wish to build resilience and prevent breakage.
2. Use professional shampoos and conditioners at home. Professional products that are specifically tailored to your lifestyle and hair needs will maintain the colour and the health of your hair. Here at L’Artiste Coiffeur in Brisbane, we have various ranges of products that suit all hair types and budgets. In the summer months I always make sure my serum has UV Protection, I apply a small amount in damp hair before styling.
3. Keep your hair out of the sun and water as much as possible. When you are in the sun make sure you have the UV protection serum on your hair. After swimming wash and condition your hair straight away removing the chlorine and sea salt.

My Summer Must Have’s: I highly recommend Oribe Invisible Defence Universal Protection Spray.

The Oribe Signature Complex (Watermelon, Lychee and Edelweiss Flower) defends hair from oxidative stress, photoaging and the deterioration of natural keratin all while protecting it from the drying, damaging and colour-depleting effects of the elements. It also contains a multifunction UV absorber that helps to protect hair from the harmful effects of UV rays while providing anti-static properties.

Another option I would recommend is Mr. Smith Leave In Treatment which contains

Cupuaçu Butter. The butter helps provide natural UV protection from UVA and UVB rays and moisturises the hair.

If you are looking for a shampoo that protects your hair and toner from the elements then I highly recommend Oribie Shampoo for Beautiful Colour. 

The benefits of using Oribe shampoo for beautiful colour include:

1. Colour Protection: The shampoo contains a unique blend of ingredients that help protect hair colour from fading. UV filters shield hair from the sun's damaging rays, while antioxidants protect hair from free radicals and other environmental stressors.
2. Moisture Retention: Oribe shampoo contains natural oils and extracts that help to lock in moisture and prevent colour from fading due to dryness. This helps to keep hair looking shiny and vibrant.
3. Gentle Formula: Oribe shampoo is gentle enough for daily use and is suitable for all hair types. It does not contain harsh chemicals or sulphates that can strip hair of its natural oils or damage its colour.
4. Strengthening: Oribe shampoo contains keratin and hydrolyzed vegetable protein, which help to strengthen hair and prevent breakage. This is especially important for colour-treated hair, which can become weakened and brittle over time.
5. Nourishing: Oribe shampoo contains a range of nourishing ingredients, including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. These help to improve the overall health of the hair and leave it looking and feeling soft, silky, and healthy.
