Protect colour

Colouring hair, whether at home or in the salon, is a chemical process that alters the structure of the strand to let the colour molecules in. Regular dye jobs leave hair weak, damaged and less likely to hold on to colour. Upgrade your boxed dye to Garnier Olia Permanent Colour, £7.99, Boots which is free of ammonia and powered by nourishing oils. You can help mend the broken bonds with Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector, £26, lookfantastic. com. It strengthens from within, so hair is smoother, softer and more manageable.
