How To Take Care of Your Colored Hair

Megan Tracy on October 16, 2025

Your hair color is an investment — and like anything beautiful, it deserves maintenance and care. From soft, shimmering blondes to rich reds and silvery grays, every shade has its own needs. With the right products and a few professional tips, you can extend the life of your color and keep your hair looking vibrant, healthy, and glossy long after you leave the salon.

Gray Hair

As hair starts to turn gray, it often becomes more coarse and wiry. That’s because your scalp produces less sebum, which leads to dryness and a rougher texture. The key? Hydration and nourishment.

Try Kevin Murphy’s Young Again line — the Wash, Rinse, and Oil all feature immortelle, an ingredient known for helping reverse visible signs of aging in the hair and replenishing lost nutrients. This trio helps soften, smooth, and add shine to mature strands.

If you color your grays: Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner to prevent stripping your fresh color.
If you’re embracing your natural gray: Watch out for yellowing tones. A purple shampoo can help neutralize brassiness and keep your gray beautifully cool and silvery.

💡 Pro Tip: Need to temporarily hide roots between color appointments? Try a root cover-up spray for quick, seamless blending until your next touch-up!

Vibrant Hair

If you’ve gone for bold red, copper, or vivid hues, your biggest battle is color fade. Red and fashion shades tend to lose vibrancy the fastest, so the right at-home care makes a big difference.

We love Kevin Murphy’s Everlasting Colour line — it strengthens, repairs, protects against UV rays, and enhances your color’s brilliance.

Other ways to make your color last longer:

Wash less often. Fewer washes mean fewer chances for your color to rinse out.
Use cooler water. When you do wash, finish with a cold rinse to seal the cuticle and lock in pigment.

💡 Pro Tip: When possible, use dry shampoo between washes to extend the life of your color and maintain volume and freshness.

Blonde Hair

Lightened hair is more delicate because bleach opens the cuticle, which can lead to dryness and damage. To keep your blonde bright and soft, focus on moisture and protection.

Try Kevin Murphy Blonde Angel Wash and Rinse, which tone and hydrate simultaneously. Add a weekly deep-conditioning mask and a few drops of hair oil daily to maintain shine and strength.

If your hair feels weak, introduce protein treatments sparingly — too much protein can make hair brittle.

💡 Pro Tip: Dilute your purple shampoo with regular shampoo or water. This keeps blondes cool and bright without overtone buildup or a purple cast.

No matter your shade, healthy hair starts with hydration, protection, and the right professional products. If you’re not sure which line is best for your hair color, ask your pro Do stylist — we’re happy to help you create a customized routine so your color looks salon-fresh every day.

Summer Hair Tips & Products Our Stylists Love

Summer Hair Tips & Products Our Stylists Love

Summer weather can take a toll on your hair — from sun exposure to humidity and pool days, it’s easy for strands to feel dry, frizzy, or dull. The good news? Our stylists at pro Do Blow Dry Bar have simple, effective tips and go-to products to help keep your hair healthy and styled all season.

Here are 3 practical summer hair care tips, each paired with a product we are loving this summer!

Tip 1: Skip the Hot Tools When You Can

Summer is the best time to give your hair a break from hot tools. Opt for your natural texture or heatless hairstyles like braids or heatless curls. Use a sea salt spray to help enhance your waves.

Product Pick: Kevin Murphy Hair Resort Spray

Adds beachy texture + volume without the crunch
Lightweight and humidity-friendly
Perfect for air-dried styles or enhancing natural waves
Smells like summer in a bottle 🥥 🌴

🔖 Limited Time: 20% Off Through June 30th at pro Do Blow Dry Bar or you can find it on our amazon storefront.

Tip 2: Protect Your Hair from the Sun + Heat

Just like your skin, your hair and scalp need protection from UV rays. Add in daily heat styling, and it’s even more important to use a product that shields your strands from damage. Use a hair product that has UV and Heat Protectant.

Product Pick: Unite 7 Seconds Leave-In Detangler

Detangles, hydrates, and protects from UV + heat
Lightweight, non-greasy formula
Color-safe and perfect post-pool or beach
💡 Stylist Tip: Spray on damp hair after swimming or before blow-drying to prevent breakage and dryness.

Tip 3: Hydrate + Add Shine Between Washes

Summer heat can dry out your hair, especially if you’re washing it more often. Keep your hair soft and shiny with lightweight, leave-in conditioner or shine spray oil.

Product Pick: Kevin Murphy Shimmer.Shine Spray

Lightweight hair oil spray
Adds instant shine + smoothness
Conditions and nourishes without oiliness
Great for taming frizz and flyaways after styling

💡 Stylist Tip: Mist onto dry hair as the last step for a radiant, polished look.

How Often Should You Wash Your Hair?

Rachel Ward on November 23, 2021

Here at pro Do blow dry bar we specialize in blowouts and hair styling and our clients often ask us “How often should I wash my hair?” There isn’t exactly one specific answer. It comes down to your hair type, your activity level, and personal preference.

How to Determine When to Wash Your Hair

Everyone’s hair type, style preferences, and lifestyles are different. If you work out and sweat everyday, telling you to wash your hair as little as possible just won’t fly. Or if you color your hair, telling to wash your hair more often may lead to fading your color faster. It’s important you take your own personal habits and preferences into consideration to find a hair washing schedule that works best for you. If you have a feeling that you want to or should wash your hair, then do it! It’s your hair — so it’s important you’re comfortable with how it looks and feels.

Why is Washing Your Hair Regularly Important?

Shampooing helps remove dirt, oil, debris, and odors effectively from the hair. Excess oil and product buildup plugs up the follicles and can slow your hair growth, not to mention making your hair look and feel dirty.

Scalp Massage Benefits

Your hair health starts from the roots. Scalp massages while washing your hair help reduce product buildup and remove dead skin cells, stimulating hair growth by promoting blood circulation. A regular scalp massage routine boosts your hair’s natural beauty by supporting the health of your scalp and hair. To level-up your scalp health game, follow a regular scalp regimen.

Hair Types

The type of hair you have will determine the type of care your hair may need and the products required to maintain your hairs health.

Fine hair: Fine hair tends to be more delicate and fragile on the ends and can become oily on the roots. If you have this hair type, shampoo more frequently on your roots with a gentle shampoo and moisturize the ends well. ANGEL.WASH is a volumizing shampoo that will nourish and transform fine, fragile hair to soft healthy locks. Use a light detangler that won’t weigh your hair down.

Coarse Hair: Coarse hair is porous, with more of an open cuticle, especially if it’s curly. Wash your hair less often and keep it moisturized. Use a shampoo and conditioner that’s rich in lipids, to give your course hair more shine and keep it elastic. SMOOTH.AGAIN.WASH. will nourish and refine thick, coarse hair, delivering all-over softness and a stronger, smoother, shinier-looking finish.

Oily Hair: If your hair often feels greasy in a few days, you may have oily hair. Shampoo when your hair feels like it’s getting oily and building up. Give your hair a much-needed detox with a detoxifying shampoo. MAXI.WASH removes the build-up of unwanted products and oils from the hair and helps to purify for a clean, clear and refreshed scalp. Maxi wash is meant to be a pre-shampoo so follow up with your favorite shampoo.

Colored Hair: If you color your hair, stick with color safe shampoos and conditioners. Living Proof Color Care Shampoo is a sulfate-free, silicone-free color care shampoo that gently cleanses, nourishes and protects against UV, hard water and damage (which can cause color fading).

Blonde Hair: If you bleach your hair or have blonde hair use repairing shampoo and conditioners. REPAIR-ME.WASH. helps restore damaged hair and enrich it with powerful proteins and amino acids. You can also add a purple shampoo to your routine that will help maintain your hair’s brightness. BLONDE.ANGEL.WASH. this color enhancing shampoo takes on all tones – from creamy to platinum, and helps brighten and rescue dull color. If your ends are dry or damaged apply a small amount of hair oil daily.

Now that we’ve shared our basic knowledge about hair care and washing, you get to decide whats best for you and for your hair

How to Prevent and Repair Chlorine Damaged Hair

Rachel Ward on August 17, 2021

What are the effects of chlorine on our hair and skin?

Chlorine is used in pools to protect us from waterborne illnesses and various skin infections. While it is overall a good thing to have in pools, it does have its drawbacks. Your hair needs its natural oils to remain smooth and healthy. Chlorine can remove these natural oils from your hair and skin, leaving them feeling dry and rough. It can also cause a chemical reaction in your hair, making your color dull and “green tinted”. Don’t worry though, because there are ways to protect your hair from chlorine and to repair damage.

How to prevent your hair from being damaged by pool water..

Wear a swim cap or clip your hair up to keep it dry.
If you do get your hair wet, rinse your hair right after swimming.
Use a detangling spray on your hair before brushing.
Comb your hair gently with a wide tooth comb when it’s wet/damp.

How to repair chlorine damage..

Wash your hair with a Detox Shampoo. Kevin Murphy MAXI.WASH is a pro Do blow dry bar favorite and gentle enough to use on a regular basis. This detox shampoo removes build-up of unwanted products and chemicals from the hair with a soothing blend of essential oils that brightens the hair while purifying and balancing the scalp.

2. Use a Chlorine Remover. If your hair has already shown the signs of chlorine damage Malibu Swimmers is a treatment you can use at home or add on to your next blowout service. Simply add product to your shampoo to remove all the hair-harsh elements from pool, spa or ocean water that can damage and discolor hair.

3. Use a Deep Conditioner. Chlorine can cause your hair to be dry and brittle. To repair your dry hair add a deep conditioner to your hair care routine to replenish lost moisture. Our go to is the Kevin Murphy HYDRATE-ME.MASQUE. This smoothing treatment delivers hydration and moisture to dry hair, or hair that’s been exposed to harsh, dry climates. HYDRATE-ME.MASQUE’s unique formulation features vitamin-charged, micro-capsules, that explode upon contact to deliver hydration and moisture, leaving the hair deeply conditioned from root to tip.
