NIGHTTIME ROUTINE FOR COLOR-TREATED HAIR
Your nighttime habits can make or break color longevity. Follow this Overtone-approved bedtime routine to lock in moisture, prevent friction fade, and wake up to vibrant, glossy strands every morning.
1. GENTLE PRE-BED DETANGLE
-
Tool: Wide-tooth comb or detangling brush
-
Technique: Start at ends, work up to roots to prevent breakage.
2. OVERNIGHT LEAVE-IN TREATMENT
Recommended Product:
-
Color Depositing Daily Conditioner (small amount)
-
Or dilute The Gloss 1:3 with water for a mist
Steps:
-
Apply Sparingly: Focus on mid-lengths and ends.
-
Brush Through: Ensure even distribution without buildup.
-
Loose Braid or Bun: Prevents tangles while you sleep.
3. SILK PILLOWCASE SWAP
Why: Silk causes less friction than cotton, reducing cuticle abrasion and color fade.
Overtone Tip: Pair with a matching silk hair wrap for extra protection.
4. WEEKLY INTENSIVE MASK
Recommended Product:
-
The Gloss Shine-Reviving Treatment Mask
Steps:
-
Mid-week Application: 10 minutes under a shower cap.
-
Rinse & Style: Rinse with cool water before bedtime; hair retains moisture overnight.
5. UV & HEAT DEFENSE
Product: UV Defense Spray
If you’ve used high-pigment neon or pastel shades and the DIY methods aren’t enough, consult a stylist for a low-damage corrective service—such as a glaze reduction or professional color remover.
