How to Maintain Balayage Hair at Home: Expert Tips from Marla Hair

Balayage is a timeless hair colour technique, loved for its natural, low-maintenance look. But maintaining its beauty requires the right care. At Marla Hair, we’ve curated expert tips to keep your balayage vibrant between salon visits.

1. Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo: Sulfates strip colour, leading to fading. Invest in a sulfate-free shampoo designed for coloured hair to maintain the richness of your balayage tones.

2. Deep Condition Weekly: Balayage often involves bleaching, which can dry out hair. A weekly deep-conditioning treatment will keep your locks hydrated and soft.

3. Protect Against Heat Damage:Before using hot tools, apply a heat protectant spray. This shields your hair and preserves the integrity of your colour.

4. Avoid Hard Water Exposure:Hard water can dull hair colour. If possible, use a shower filter or a clarifying shampoo once a month to remove mineral buildup.

5. Schedule Regular Touch-Ups:While balayage is low-maintenance, occasional touch-ups keep it fresh. Aim for a refresh every 8–12 weeks.
