-
To keep your hair looking fresh and vibrant, we recommend booking a root retouch every 4-6 weeks, depending on your hair growth and the colour technique used. For clients with balayage, ombre, or highlights, touch-ups can be done every 8-12 weeks, as these styles grow out more naturally.

At Novum – Hair & Beauty, we prioritise the health of your hair. We use Wella Professionals colour, which is formulated to provide rich, vibrant results while maintaining your hair’s health. We also offer hydrating treatments to ensure your hair stays nourished and shiny. Our expert colourists apply colour with precision, minimising any risk of damage.

Your Colour Aftercare Advice
To ensure your new colour stays vibrant and healthy for as long as possible, proper hair colour aftercare is essential. At Novum – Hair & Beauty in Tarvin, Chester, we provide expert advice on how to care for your hair after your colour service, keeping it looking fresh and shiny.
Wait 48 Hours Before Washing
After your hair colour treatment, we recommend waiting at least 48 hours before washing your hair. This gives the colour time to fully set and adhere to your strands, ensuring longer-lasting results.
Use Colour-Safe Shampoo and Conditioner
To protect and prolong your colour, always use a shampoo and conditioner designed for colour-treated hair. We recommend professional products from Kérastase or Olaplex, which nourish and preserve colour without stripping. Avoid sulphates and delay using purple shampoo for at least a week post-a colour correction unless advised by your stylist. Hot water can cause colour to fade faster. Opt for cool or lukewarm water when washing to help maintain your colour’s intensity and natural shine.
Avoid Heat Styling for the First Few Days
While it's tempting to style your freshly coloured hair, it’s best to avoid excessive heat styling for the first few days. Heat can strip the colour and dry out your hair. If styling is necessary, use a heat protectant spray to minimise damage.
Limit Sun Exposure
Direct exposure to the sun can cause your colour to fade more quickly. If you plan to be outdoors for extended periods, consider wearing a hat or using hair products with UV protection to shield your hair from the sun’s harmful rays.
Regular Deep Conditioning Treatments
Keep your hair moisturised and vibrant with regular deep conditioning treatments. These will help restore hydration and prevent your colour from becoming dull. We offer a range of nourishing treatments at Novum that are tailored to your hair type and colour.
Schedule Regular Touch-Ups
To keep your colour looking fresh, we recommend root touch-ups every 4-6 weeks for optimal results. For balayage or ombre styles, touch-ups can be scheduled every 6-12 weeks to maintain the natural, sun-kissed look, with the addition of a toner treatment to keep your blonde looking clean and not brassy.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Try to avoid exposing your coloured hair to harsh chemicals, such as chlorine in pools or strong hair treatments that may affect your colour. If swimming in a pool, use a swim cap or apply a protective leave-in conditioner before swimming.
Maintain Healthy Hair
Healthy hair holds colour better. Keep your hair in top condition by regularly trimming split ends and nourishing it with hydrating masks and serums. Healthy hair is vibrant hair, so don’t skip on the haircare essentials.
Follow Your Stylist Instructions
Every colour journey is unique. Your stylist will provide tailored aftercare based on your hair’s condition and colour history, especially after a colour correction. Following their advice ensures the best results for long-lasting, healthy colour.
