Avoid washing your hair for the first 48 hours.
Allowing dyes to settle into your hair shaft will make the colour lasts longer! When your hair is bleached, it essentially means we have chemically opened up the cuticle layer to remove natural colour from your hair, and to allow colour to bond. They will slowly close back down in around 48 - 72 hours, once closed, colour and moisture are less likely to be washed away afterwards.
Avoid Swimming & Excessive sun exposure for the first week.
Chloride and UV will interfere with hair dye and make the colour changes. If you absolutely have to swim, wear a swim cap and SPF on your hair, thoroughly wash your hair after to prevent further damage.
Incorporate an Anti-Yellow Purple Shampoo to maintain your colour
[Essential for bleached hair, and or if you want to keep your hair colour "cool"]
When you first wash your hair, and at least twice a week after your colouring treatment, we recommend using an anti-yellow shampoo. As the dye can chemically react with the high content of minerals in hard water, to cause a brassy tone. Anti-yellow shampoo, contains purple pigments, helps neutralising orangey colour to maintain a cooler blonde or ashy tone. (Mind not to overuse, as it could make the hair look too cool or even purple.)
This is what we recommend:
Fanola No Yellow Shampoo for Healthy & Vital Blonde Hair 1000ml https://amzn.to/40dnU0P
If you'd like to keep your hair "warm-ish", but not too yellowy or brassy; or if you've gone for a pinkish colour, you can consider pink toning shampoo instead. (Please be aware that if you use this on completely bleached out or really pale hair, hair will go pale rose-ish colour)
Joanna Professional Colour Toning Hair Shampoo 500ml
There are multiple sites and shops selling these really, the quickest and the easiest way would be through Amazon as they offer next day delivery if you're a Prime member.
Avoid Heat and hot water, use lukewarm water.
Heat or hot water will cause hair cuticle to open up and lead to faster colour fading and increased dryness. To effective remove dirts, excess oil, and product buildup without being too harsh on your hair, 30C is ideal.
If you can limit the use of hair straighteners, or curling irons, that's great, please always use heat protectant before styling. For blow drying, try to keep the temperature on low settings.
Use a Sulfate-Free, Moisturising Shampoo; Conditioner; Leave In Conditioner or Hair Oil Daily:
Sulfates, or their variant such as SLS or SLES, although commonly used in many shampoos, they are not the best for dry, chemically treated, or fragile hair. As they can stripe your hair, removing too much natural oil. Just oil, not mineral buildup unfortunately.
These are what we use in Tabula Rasa Salon:
Olaplex No.4 No.5 Bond Maintenance
L’Oréal Professionnel, Absolut Repair Molecular Hair Shampoo and Rinse Off Serum
Use a Clarifying Shampoo Occasionally, always finish with a Deep Conditioning Hair Mask to replenish lost moisture:
Unfortunately, where we are, the Southern part of England, is predominantly hard and extra hard water areas, meaning the water contains high levels of mineral such as Calcium, Magnesium, Iron and even Copper. Some of these minerals can react with shampoo to foam soap scum, and overtime, they will accumulate and suffocate your hair and scalp. Imagine there are insoluble invisible dots on your hair and scalp, when these dots slowly join together and become a "mask", they will block off absorption. Anti-yellow shampoo, or hair products can therefore be not as "effective". And course also be one of the triggers for hair loss as well.
On top, the high alkalinity in hard water can disrupt the hair's natural pH balance, causing hair to become dry, dull, brittle, heavy, fizz, and even change its texture. Sadly, these can also be part of the reasons or trigger that you're facing hair loss since the change of environment.
Removing mineral and metal buildup is like having a blank canvas, your first step towards healthy hair. The ideal solution would be rinsing with filtered water or install a water softener.
However, these might not be practical in some cases. We therefore highly recommend using Clarifying Shampoo at least once a month. You can do this at home or with us, at The Tabula Rasa Salon. We offer Hair Detoxing Treatment, where we professionally remove mineral, chemical and metal residue from your hair and scalp; perform a head massage; and follow by a lovely hair mask to replenish lost moisture back into your hair for you. Ends with a blow dry.
Because every client's hair is different, please contact us at 07393308228 for a personalised Hair Detoxing Treatment. (For whatsapp, please click here)
Schedule Regular Trims:
Regular trims every 6-8 weeks can keep bleached ends healthy and free of split ends. This helps maintain the shape of their style and the overall health of their hair.

1. 請頭染髮後等候至少48小時才洗頭
這可有助染料固定，讓顏色更持久！頭髮漂染的過程中因角質層曾被打開，和需要約48到72小時內才慢慢閉合，因此建議漂染後先等一等，等角質層閉合後才洗頭，顏色和水分就不容易被沖洗掉。
2. 避免游泳和過度曝曬於陽光下，特別是在頭一星期內
氯和紫外線會干擾染髮效果並導致顏色變化。如一定要游泳，請戴上泳帽並在頭髮上塗抹防曬產品，游泳後徹底清洗頭髮以減少損害。
3. 使用黃紫色洗髮水來保持色澤
【漂染髮或想保持冷色調髮色者必備】
第一次洗頭及之後每週至少使用兩次抗黃洗髮水。因為染劑可能會與硬水中的高礦物質含量發生化學反應，導致頭髮呈現黃銅色調。抗黃洗髮水中的紫色素能中和橘黃色調，保持冷色調的金髮或灰色調。（請注意避免過度使用，否則可能會讓頭髮顯得過冷或甚至變成紫色。）
我們推薦使用的產品：
- Fanola No Yellow Shampoo for Healthy & Vital Blonde Hair 1000ml
如果您想保持頭髮「溫暖色調」，但不想過於黃銅色；或如果您的頭髮是黑粉紅色類，可考慮使用粉紅調色洗髮水
（請注意，如果使用在完全漂染或非常淺的頭髮上，頭髮會呈現淡粉色。）
推薦產品：
- Joanna Professional Colour Toning Hair Shampoo 500ml
這些產品在不同網站和商店例如boots都有，最快和最便捷的方式是通過Amazon購買，若您是Prime會員還可享受次日送達服務。
4. 避免熱水和高溫，用微溫水沖洗
高溫或熱水會打開頭髮角質層，導致顏色快速褪色並增加乾燥程度。如想有效去除污垢、多餘的油脂和產品殘留，30℃是理想溫度。
如果您能減少使用直髮器或捲髮棒，那是最理想的，並請在造型前務必使用防熱產品。吹乾時，建議保持在低溫設置。
5. 每日使用無硫酸鹽(Sulphate Free)、保濕洗髮水、護髮素、免沖洗護髮素或頭髮油**
硫酸鹽，或其變體如SLS或SLES，雖然常見於許多洗髮水中，但對於乾燥、化學處理或脆弱的頭髮並非最佳選擇，因為它們會剝奪過多的天然油脂。
- Olaplex No.4 No.5 Bond Maintenance
- L’Oréal Professionnel, Absolut Repair Molecular Hair Shampoo and Rinse Off Serum
或任何Sulphate Free 的洗髮水
8. 偶爾使用深層清潔洗髮乳(Clarifying Shampoo)，並配合深層護髮膜以補充流失的水分
在我們所在的英格蘭南部，主要是硬水和超硬水區域，水中含有大量礦物質如鈣、鎂、鐵甚至銅。這些礦物質會與洗髮水反應形成皂垢，長期下來會在頭髮和頭皮上累積，阻礙吸收。硬水的高鹼性還會干擾頭髮的天然pH值，使頭髮變得乾燥、暗淡、脆弱、沉重、毛躁，甚至改變質地。有性程況下，這會成為脫髮的導火線。
去除礦物和金屬聚積物是健康頭髮/皮的第一步。最最最好的解決方案是使用過濾水沖洗或安裝軟水器。當然我們明白在某些情況下可能不實際。因此，我們建議每月至少使用一次澄清洗髮水。您可以在家中DIY，或和我們預約，無名提供「頭髮排毒療程」，專業去除頭髮和頭皮上的礦物質、化學物質和金屬殘留，並配合頭部按摩及護髮膜補充水分，最後再吹乾。
由於每位客人的頭髮情況不同，請聯繫我們以獲取個性化的頭髮排毒療程。

9. 定期修剪
每6到8週修剪一次可保持漂染的髮尾健康並防止分叉，減少脫髮，這有助於維持髮型的形狀及整體頭髮的健康。
