As a salon professional, you offer a wide range of products and services for your clients. But one that consistently stands out as a top seller is hair color. Year after year, customers spend millions keeping up with the latest hair color trends. One of the best ways to stay ahead of the curve is by offering products that promise a perfect outcome every time.
At National Salon Resources, we’re proud to offer Color Wow hair care products. These high-performance hair color products are carefully engineered to avoid ingredients that may interfere with the perfect hair color. In this post, we talk about some of the ingredients you won’t find in Color Wow products and how they can interfere with beautiful hair color.
1.Sulfates
In recent years, sulfates have started to get a bad rap. However, sulfates aren’t necessarily a bad thing. They’re a kind of salt that forms through a chemical process, and they can actually work to remove dirt, grime, and oil from your hair.
But if clients are concerned about keeping their hair color fresh longer, it’s a good idea to steer clear of sulfates. That’s because they can strip your hair of color and even dehydrate hair if overused. Color Wow Color Security Shampoo offers the clarifying of traditional hair care products without all the sulfates.
2.Essential Oils
We love essential oils. Essential oils such as lavender, rosemary, and peppermint smell fantastic, and they also have a wide range of therapeutic uses. However, they’re not the best thing to add to a hair care product if your top concern is keeping that color looking bold. Essential oils can potentially alter or even darken the color of your hair, which makes them a no-go for hair products meant for colored hair. Color Wow Dream Coat Anti-Humidity Treatment gives your clients the smoothness of essential oils without compromising their color.
3.Nitrogen Compounds
Nitrogen is essential to life, but nitrogen products are not something you want to be added to your hair care products if you want to keep your hair color looking bold. That’s because they can discolor dyed hair when they’re oxidized and exposed to light, leaving hair looking yellow or darkened.
Nitrogen compounds are commonly found in many conditioners and hairspray products and have long chemical names like monoethanolamine. Cult Favorite Firm + Flexible Hairspray from Color Wow offers powerful hold that’s completely free of nitrogen compounds.
4.Citrus and Fruit
Who doesn’t love citrus? It’s great for your health, and it smells good, too! Unfortunately, it can also create a yellowing or lightening effect when applied to your hair.
That’s why it’s important to avoid adding citrus oils and products to hair products meant for dyed hair. This includes orange, lemon, lime, and grapefruit products. It’s also best to avoid neroli, apple oils, pomegranate, melon, and other fruit-based additives.
Professional Salon Products for Beautiful Dyed Hair
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of leaving the salon with a fantastic new dye job to make your clients feel great about life. That’s why one of the best things you can do to keep your clients coming back is to steer them toward products that help them maintain their beautiful color.
