Aftercare Protocol
Vivid & Fashion Color Aftercare
Protecting creative tones, split dyes, and high-impact pigments.
Why This Matters
Direct dyes sit in the outer hair cuticle and wash out quickly when exposed to heat, swimming, or harsh cleansers.
Essential Rules for Longevity
- 01
Wash hair with ice-cold water only to keep the cuticle tightly locked.
- 02
Limit shampoo sessions to 1–2 times per week; use dry shampoo on roots between wash days.
- 03
Use custom color-depositing conditioner recommended by Syd during your appointment.
- 04
Avoid chlorinated swimming pools and saltwater without a protective barrier.
- 05
Rebook touch-ups every 4–6 weeks for vivid roots and pigment refreshes.
