Living in The Woodlands, where heat and humidity are common, we also recommend treatments that protect your hair’s vibrancy and shine. Our team will guide you in choosing the best products and techniques to keep your color looking fresh, healthy, and luminous.

• For Fine Hair: We often suggest techniques like balayage or babylights to add dimension without overwhelming delicate strands.
• For Thick or Coarse Hair: Deeper, richer tones or all-over color can create a sleek, polished look that enhances your hair’s natural volume.
• For Curly or Textured Hair: Dimensional highlights or ombré techniques enhance your curl pattern and add depth.
• For Dry or Damaged Hair: Our ammonia-free color and bond-building treatments help protect and nourish your hair during the coloring process.

The longevity of your hair color depends on several factors, including the type of color treatment, your hair’s condition, and your maintenance routine. Here's a general guide to how long different types of color typically last:

• Permanent Color: Lasts 6 to 8 weeks before noticeable regrowth appears. Regular touch-ups help maintain vibrant, even color.
• Demi-Permanent Color: Lasts 4 to 6 weeks and gradually fades, making it ideal for enhancing natural tones or blending grays.
• Semi-Permanent Color: Lasts 4 to 12 washes and is perfect for adding shine or a temporary color boost.
• Balayage & Highlights: These techniques can last 8 to 12 weeks, as the softer grow-out requires less frequent touch-ups.
• Fashion Colors (vivid shades like blue or pink): These colors typically fade faster, lasting 2 to 4 weeks depending on your hair’s porosity and how well you maintain it.

To extend the life of your color, we recommend:

• Using sulfate-free shampoos
• Washing your hair with cool or lukewarm water
• Scheduling regular glossing treatments to boost shine and refresh your color
• Protecting your hair from the sun and heat styling

At Contour Salon, our expert colorists can recommend the best products and care routine to keep your color vibrant and beautiful between appointments.

The Woodlands’ heat, humidity, and frequent sun exposure can be tough on colored hair, but with the right care, you can keep your color vibrant and your hair healthy. Here’s how:

Use Color-Safe Products

Opt for sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners designed for color-treated hair. These formulas gently cleanse without stripping color.

Protect Your Hair from UV Damage

The Texas sun can cause color to fade faster. Use a UV-protectant spray or wear a stylish hat when spending time outdoors.

Hydrate and Nourish

Humidity can leave hair frizzy and dry. Incorporate deep conditioning treatments or hair masks weekly to maintain moisture and shine.

Rinse with Cool Water

Hot water can open your hair’s cuticle, allowing color to fade faster. Rinse with cool or lukewarm water to help seal in color and maintain vibrancy.

Limit Heat Styling

Frequent blow-drying, curling, or straightening can weaken hair and dull color. When using heat tools, always apply a heat protectant.

Refresh Your Color

Between appointments, consider a gloss treatment to boost shine and enhance your color’s richness.

We use high-performance color treatments and provide expert guidance to help you maintain beautiful, vibrant hair, no matter the weather. Ask our stylists for personalized product recommendations to protect your color in The Woodlands’ climate.
