Colour care treatment

What is a colour care treatment

A colour care treatment is a specialised hair treatment designed to protect and care for coloured hair. It helps keep hair colour vibrant while nourishing and strengthening the hair. These treatments work by sealing the hair cuticle, which helps prevent colour pigments from fading and keeps the hair looking shiny and healthy.

Why does coloured hair need a colour care treatment

Coloured hair often becomes drier and more vulnerable because the colouring process opens the hair cuticle. A colour care treatment helps restore moisture, improve hair strength and protect the colour from washing out too quickly. This makes coloured hair look smoother, healthier and more vibrant for longer.

How often should you use a colour care treatment

How often you use a colour care treatment depends on your hair type and how intensively your hair is coloured. Many people use a treatment one or two times per week for extra care. For very dry or damaged coloured hair, a colour care treatment can also be used more frequently to maintain softness and shine.

Does a colour care treatment help prevent colour fading

Yes. Colour care treatments are specifically formulated to slow down colour fading. They help lock colour pigments into the hair and protect against external factors such as washing, heat styling and sun exposure. With regular use, hair colour stays brighter and fresher for a longer period of time.

Can a colour care treatment repair damaged coloured hair

Although a colour care treatment is mainly focused on colour protection, many formulas also contain nourishing and strengthening ingredients. These help improve hair elasticity, reduce breakage and make damaged coloured hair feel smoother and more manageable over time.

What ingredients are important in a colour care treatment

Effective colour care treatments often contain hydrating ingredients, antioxidants and natural extracts that protect the hair and enhance shine. A good example is the Flora and Curl African Citrus Superfruit Radiance, which supports colour vibrancy while deeply nourishing the hair.

Is conditioner enough for coloured hair

A conditioner is important for daily care, but a colour care treatment provides deeper and more targeted protection. While conditioner helps detangle and soften the hair, a treatment offers extra nourishment and colour sealing benefits. For coloured hair, combining shampoo, conditioner and a colour care treatment delivers the best results.
