The best coloured hair treatments: Keep up the value of your investment with a tailored regime
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It's no secret that the summer can wreak havoc with your locks – if it's not all the heat-induced extra shampooing while at home, the joys of a holiday can wane when strong sunshine, salt water and chlorine turn your barnet into a bird's nest.
And the problems only multiply when coloured hair is brought into the equation. High-lightening, brightening or blending out grey can be an expensive habit to maintain, so it's wise to keep up the value of your investment with a regime that is tailored to coloured hair.
Full Shimmer Mask
£39.50, Shu Uemura Art of Hair, lookfantastic.com
Leave this intense conditioning masque on clean, damp hair for five to 10 minutes and the musk rose oil will smooth the hair shaft and create a high-shine, almost glazed finish.
Colorlast Shampoo
£9.50, Matrix, lookfantastic.com
Supposedly orchid-scented, there is actually a pleasant cherry smell to this shampoo and its matching conditioner, neither of which contain parabens – which is increasingly important to clued-up consumers.

This range, from one of the best-known and trusted salon brands, uses amino-ions which attract to the hair fibre to form a barrier to keep colour vibrant and prevent fading.
