Caring for Mermaid Hair

Only use specialized shampoos and conditioners which have been made for color-treated hair.

Mermaid hair dyes usually last up to 15 shampoo washes though companies claim it is 5 to 40 washes so plan your washes accordingly.

Wash your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo  made for color-treated hair and use only cold water as hot water will lead to your hair dye getting removed faster from your hair

When going for a swim try to wear a shower cap and keep your head above the water to protect your hair from chlorine and other chemicals in the pool from affecting your hair color

Don’t use hair styling products with heat; instead of blow drying your hair, just air dry your hair naturally to let the hair color maintain for a longer time.

Wear Scarves or hats with a wide rim to protect your hair from too much exposure to the sun.

Every 4 to 8 weeks depending on your hair schedule an appointment with your colorist to maintain your hair color
