Rose Gold Hair Advice
The rose gold hair trend is quickly gaining popularity, but this particular dye job isn’t for the weak of heart. In order to maintain the vibrance of the color, there are a few steps to follow.
- No matter how tempted you are, avoid trying to achieve the rose gold look yourself. Instead, make sure to book an appointment with a professional stylist. If you can, try to find out who is skilled at coloring hair.
- Depending on what base color you’re starting with, you might have to book a few sessions to safely lighten and dye your hair without causing unnecessary damage.
- Rose gold dye can fade extremely easily, so it’s important you avoid overwashing your hair if you want the color to last.
- Only wash your hair every 2-3 days, and when you do, use shampoos and conditioners intended for color-treated locks, like this set from COLOR WOW. 1-2 times a week, either instead of conditioner or in addition to it, add a color-depositing into your routine, like this one from Moroccanoil, to brighten the color of the dye.
- Between washes, spray some dry shampoo, like this one from IGK, to soak up any excess oil and give your do some more texture and body.
- Avoid getting your hair wet with hot water since the higher temperature will dry out already brittle tresses and cause the dye to fade. While showering, keep your hair in a clip or in a shower cap, like this one from Drybar, so it stays dry. When you’re rinsing out products, opt for lukewarm or cool water instead.
- Dyed hair often loses its shine and starts to get brittle and damaged, which makes it look unhealthy and dull. Use a combination of hair oil and gloss to help add a little more moisture and glow that really makes the rose gold pop.
- Use a little bit of shine spray like this one from CHI all over your hair daily. Instead, focus on working a hair oil, like this one from Moroccanoil, into the ends of your locks. This will help keep them hydrated, so you don’t have to lose length next time you’re at the salon.
- While avoiding hot tools is the healthiest option, if you have to use a hair dryer, flat iron, or curling wand, always use a thermal protectant like this one from CHI.
- Since rose gold is in the blonde family of hues, you’ll want to keep an eye on the shade to make sure it isn’t getting brassy. Have a good toner on hand, like this one from WELLA, to color-correct if you start to notice a little discoloration, especially if you’re going to be swimming in chlorinated pools.
- Even the sun can discolor and damage already weakened hair. If you plan on spending a lot of time outside, try to stick to the shade or apply a hair and scalp SPF, like this one from COOLA.
- No matter how diligent you are, rose gold is a high-maintenance hue. If you want to commit to the color for a while, plan to get your color and roots touched up every 3-6 weeks.
