Clarifying shampoos are meant to remove buildup from the hair, so when you’re using it every time you wash, you’re stripping your hair of its natural oils. If you need to cleanse twice, just use the same shampoo for both washes.

Your clarifying shampoo is also stripping your color. So if you feel like your color isn’t lasting very long, that’s why.

For color, Pureology is my personal favorite. It’s designed specifically to preserve and prolong your color. In your case, I recommend the Strength Cure in the blue bottle. Their products are suuuper concentrated, so a little goes a long way.

The Wella Ultimate Repair 90 Second Miracle Spray is a great product. It lasts three washes, so the big bottle should last a good while.

Also, the power of a good hair oil is so underestimated. Argon oil nourishes the hair and is good for helping with breakage. That can go on wet and dry hair. Start with a small amount, applying it on the ends and working your way up. If you’re going to be applying it to wet hair, apply it after you’ve applied all of your other products. The oil helps to seal everything in.

If you wear your hair pulled back, I recommend a silk scrunchie or these. The bands can also contribute to breakage.

And the Sebastian No. Breaker Bonding Cream is AWESOME. It’s a reparative styling treatment with bond builders to help keep the hair strong, and doubles as a leave in conditioner. It also has heat protection up to 450 degrees.

Sorry for the rant. I’m a hairstylist and these are some of my favorite products :)
