You just left SAP Salon on High Street with a fresh cut, a stunning new color, and hair that feels like silk. It's a masterpiece. The question is: how do you preserve that masterpiece until your next visit?
The truth is, the longevity of your color and the health of your texture depend just as much on your at-home routine as on the skills of your stylist.
Choosing the Right Products
Invest in professional-grade products that match your hair type and service. Your SAP Salon stylist can recommend the perfect Aveda products for your specific needs.
The Washing Ritual
- Don't over-wash. 2-3 times per week is ideal for most hair types
- Use lukewarm water — hot water opens the cuticle and strips color
- Massage your scalp gently to promote circulation
- Apply conditioner mid-length to ends only
The Drying Strategy
- Blot, don't rub with a microfiber towel
- Apply heat protectant before any heat styling
- Use the cool shot on your blow dryer to set your style
- Air dry when possible to minimize heat damage
Daily Maintenance Habits
- Brush gently with a wide-tooth comb or wet brush
- Use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction overnight
- Apply a lightweight serum or oil to ends for moisture
- Protect hair from sun with UV-blocking products
Your SAP Salon Home Care Prescription
At your next appointment, ask your stylist for a personalized home care prescription tailored to your hair type, color, and styling routine.
