Between Appointments
You’ve just stepped out of Lotus Salon, your colour is vibrant, your cut is flawless, and your hair feels soft, shiny, and full of life. The real challenge? Keeping it that way until your next appointment.
Healthy, glossy hair isn’t just about what happens in the salon; it’s also about how you care for it at home. With a few expert-approved habits, you can make that “just-stepped-out-of-the-salon” feeling last much longer.
Let’s explore the secrets to keeping your salon hair fresh, beautiful, and healthy between visits.
Over-washing is one of the most common reasons salon hair colour fades or loses its shine.
Each time you shampoo, you strip away natural oils and some of the protective layers your stylist has carefully sealed in.
Pro tip:
Wash 2–3 times per week (or less, if possible).
Use a sulfate-free shampoo that’s designed for coloured or treated hair.
Always finish with a hydrating conditioner to lock in moisture.
If your roots get oily between washes, use a light dry shampoo. It refreshes your look without disrupting your colour or blowout.
Australia’s sun can be harsh on your hair — UV rays can fade colour and weaken strands. The same goes for hot styling tools like straighteners and curlers.
Pro tip:
Use a heat protectant spray before blow-drying or styling.
Limit heat styling to 2–3 times a week.
When outdoors, wear a hat or apply a UV-protection hair mist.
At Lotus Salon, we love recommending professional-grade UV protectants that act like sunscreen for your hair — keeping your tone vibrant and your ends healthy.
Dryness is the enemy of soft, manageable hair. Environmental stress, air conditioning, and styling can all dehydrate your locks.
Pro tip:
Apply a leave-in conditioner or nourishing oil on damp hair after every wash.
Treat your hair to a weekly deep-conditioning mask.
For coloured or bleached hair, consider a bond-repair treatment like Olaplex or K18 to keep the structure strong.
Lotus Salon offers in-salon and take-home treatments designed to restore hydration and shine — ask your stylist which one suits your hair type best.
Your nighttime habits can make or break your salon results. Rough pillowcases and tight hairstyles can cause breakage and dullness overnight.
Pro tip:
Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction.
Loosely braid your hair or use a soft scrunchie before bed.
Avoid sleeping with wet hair — it’s more fragile when damp.
You’ll wake up with smoother, shinier strands and fewer tangles.
Don’t have time to wash, dry, and style? You can still bring life back to your salon look between shampoos.
Pro tip:
Mist a bit of dry shampoo on the roots for instant volume.
Apply a few drops of lightweight hair oil through the mid-lengths to tame frizz and add shine.
Use a round brush and dryer for a quick 2-minute refresh to restore bounce and shape.
This keeps your blow-dry or cut looking fresh for days.
Even if you’re not ready for a full colour service, a toner or gloss treatment between appointments can revive your tone and boost shine.
Pro tip:
Book a mini-visit every 6–8 weeks for:
A toner refresh (perfect for blondes or highlighted hair)
A glossing service to add brilliance
A hydration or scalp treatment for overall health
At Lotus Salon, these express services are designed to keep your colour vibrant and your hair looking freshly done — without a full appointment.
Your hair deserves salon-quality care. Drugstore shampoos or generic brands often contain harsh detergents that strip colour and moisture.
Pro tip:
Ask your stylist which professional products are best for your hair type. At Lotus Salon, we’ll create a customised home-care plan with the exact products we use in the salon — so you can maintain the same results at home.
Investing in the right products protects your colour investment and keeps your hair feeling luxurious every day.
Split ends and frizz can make even the most beautiful colour look dull. Regular trims help your hair stay healthy and styled.
Pro tip:
Book a maintenance trim every 8–12 weeks, even if you’re growing your hair out. A little dusting keeps your shape and movement intact — and your hair will thank you for it.
The best-kept secret to keeping your hair fresh between salon visits is balance — professional salon care paired with a consistent home routine.
