1. Build A Strong Foundation Directly After The Color Service

Beautiful hair is strong and healthy-looking hair. Shannon recommends starting their haircare regimen directly after the color service by applying products that strengthen sensitive and porous strands or slightly compromised hair. Try a cocktail of Alterna Haircare Caviar Anti-Aging Omega+ Anti-Frizz Nourishing Oil and Caviar Repair Re-Texturizing Protein Cream to increase manageability and infuse the hair with moisture by filling in gaps and tears in the cuticle.

3. Master The Cool-Girl Waving Technique

The most-liked color photos on the feeds are usually paired with cool-girl texture. Here’s Maggie’s technique to achieve this look on trendy bobs and lobs!

1. Using a flat iron with minimal tension, take a section and wave the hair in a vertical, circular motion. Leaving the ends out, continue this pattern and alternate the direction of each wave.
2. Let the curls cool. Then, apply Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Smoothie Hydra-Gelée Nourishing Hair Perfector to smooth out the ends.
3. Apply a dime-size amount of Caviar Style Luxe Shape Créme Gel to your hands, emulsify and piece out the curls.
