Top Tips to Protect and Preserve Your Color-Treated Hair at Home

Getting a beautiful, vibrant hair color at Venelle Salon & Spa is just the beginning of your hair journey. To keep your color looking fresh, radiant, and salon-perfect for weeks, it’s essential to follow a smart color care routine at home.

That’s where Aveda Color Control comes in — a premium line designed to protect color-treated hair and lock in vibrancy longer.

Here’s how to extend your salon color and make your investment last with Aveda’s expert color care system.

Why Does Hair Color Fade?

Hair color fades because of:

• Frequent washing with harsh shampoos

• Exposure to UV rays and pollution

• Heat styling damage

• Chlorine and saltwater exposure

Without proper care, your salon-fresh color can become dull, brassy, or uneven much sooner than you want.

What Is Aveda Color Control?

Aveda’s Color Control™ system is specially formulated to:

• Protect hair color from fading

• Lock in vibrant pigment

• Maintain hair softness and shine

• Shield hair from environmental aggressors like UV rays and pollution

It’s enriched with plant-based antioxidants and gentle cleansing agents that nourish your hair while protecting color molecules.

How to Use Aveda Color Control to Extend Your Color

1. Use the Right Shampoo & Conditioner

Switch to Aveda Color Control Shampoo and Conditioner immediately after your color service. They gently cleanse while preserving your color and strengthening hair.

2. Limit Washing Frequency

Try to wash your hair 2-3 times a week instead of daily to prevent stripping natural oils and color pigments. Use dry shampoo (like Aveda’s Shampure™ Dry Shampoo) to refresh between washes.

3. Rinse with Cool Water

Hot water opens the hair cuticle, allowing color to wash out faster. Rinse with cool or lukewarm water to seal the cuticle and lock in color.

4. Protect from Heat & UV Damage

Use Aveda Color Conserve® Daily Color Protect leave-in spray before blow-drying or heat styling. It protects hair from UV rays and heat up to 450°F.

5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals & Chlorine

Before swimming, wet hair with clean water and apply a protective leave-in. After swimming, wash hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove chlorine or salt.
