Between lockdowns, tiers and restricted travel, trips to the hair salon are once more beyond the grasp of many. Luckily, a wealth of colour-extending products, at-home colour boosters and root touch-up kits can make your salon hair colour go that little bit further. And the good news is they’re hairdresser approved – some of these home treatments have been created by the world’s best colourists. In fact, professional hair colour company Wella has found that 85 per cent of its clients who have in-salon colour are now doing a refresh at home in between visits to their colourists, which has made for a buoyant home haircare market. Below, a breakdown of the products to try to keep your colour rich and glossy at home.

Hair gloss

Sometimes all that’s needed is a bit of hair trickery. Hair glosses can help give the illusion of a salon-fresh colour treatment without adding any new colour. A shiny finish helps lift hair colour, while making hair look and feel like it’s had the blow dry treatment.

Color Wow Dream Filter

£25, available at Colorwowhair.com.

Semi-permanent colour

Semi-permanent colour is just that – semi-permanent – which allows you to experiment with different hues or simply use it as a buffer in between appointments, without having to commit. For those looking to cover up grey roots, Wella’s semi-permanent Colour Fresh covers up to 30 per cent of them and the colour only lasts up to six washes, so you can afford to be a little experimental with the different shades available.

Root touch-up kits

At-home root touch-up kits are the perfect buffer between your regular colour appointments. They’ll gently and seamlessly cover any grey regrowth, blending into your hair to make waiting for your next appointment infinitely easier. They stay put during the day but wash out when you shampoo. There are also plenty to choose from, so finding the right colour match won’t be a problem.

Permanent colour

There is the option of permanent hair colour from a box. The results obviously last longer, but remember it’s important to choose the right colour – otherwise you might find yourself even more desperate to get into the salon to fix it.
