Color your hair every four to six weeks and maintain your highlights every third time color is done or as recommended by your stylist. Use fantasticcleanse® Color Care Shampoo and fantasticcondition® Color Care Conditioner to gently clean chemicallytreated hair and to keep color from fading. Shampoo your hair every other day, rather than every day to extend the life of the color. According to Fantastic Sams Educator Rosie Grijalva, hair color, especially highlights can get brassy if hair is not cared for properly. If this happens, return to your stylist for maintenance service.

After shampooing the hair, let it dry naturally, then use a flat iron. Use fantasticstyle® Pomade for separation and finish it off with fantasticstyle Shaping Spray to hold the style and protect against humidity and sun damage. Grijalva suggests using a razor to get this layered cut. “Scissors can be used but the layers may be too blunt looking. A razor cut gives a softer look, especially for people with fine hair,” she says.
