Cost cutting ideas to make your hair color last longer!
Those pesky gray hairs! They keep sprouting faster than my lucky bamboo!
I ( JoJami) haven’t tried this yet, but my friend Jill says that if you follow these tips, it really helps make your color last up to two weeks longer!
1. Wash hair two times, the week before going in for color with clarifying shampoo (such as Pureology purifying shampoo) which will strip out the hair products that have built up in your hair like conditioner, gels, hairspray, etc. With these products gone the hair follicles will hold the new color amazingly better.
2. At the salon after your hair is washed and conditioned and before drying, give them a vial of Goldwell Colorglow Color finish to apply to your hair. Do not wash out.
You can buy these products at the beauty supply store for a fraction of what you would pay the salon. Example: the Colorglow is $5 at the beauty supply and it would cost close to $20 for the same treatment in most salons.
These two products can make your hair color last up to two weeks longer!
I’m due for a color and so I’ll try it, and report back!

Great tip. I’m very tempted to start coloring my gray again. I’m suppressing the urge with a new style instead.
I got a tip for everyone who like me loves getting a pedicure but wishes it didn’t chip so soon. After my toes are completely dry (which can take up to 1 hr) I cover them with clear polish. A new coat every other day protects the finish so I can squeeze in more days. Thanks, gals

Thanks Dina,
We think your point of letting your toes dry completely is sure important. Extra coats of clear are good for both toes and nails!
Thanks sharing, good to hear how to stretch our hard earned dollars spent on these important services!
