Colour-treated hair needs specific care. The right products can extend the life of your colour, keep your hair healthy and shiny, and prevent the dryness and breakage that chemical treatments can cause. At Bigoudee Coiffure in Mount Lawley, we work with a curated selection of professional brands — here are our stylists’ top product picks for colour-treated hair.
1. Sulphate-Free Shampoo — Kevin Murphy
The single most impactful change you can make for your colour is switching to a sulphate-free shampoo. Sulphates are the harsh detergents in many conventional shampoos that create a strong lather — but they also strip colour significantly faster than necessary. Kevin Murphy’s colour-safe shampoos are sulphate-free, biodegradable, and packed with strengthening ingredients. Our go-to for colour-treated hair is Kevin Murphy Colour Me Shampoo — it extends vibrancy and keeps hair soft between appointments.
2. Deep Conditioning Mask — Davines
Coloured hair — especially bleached or balayaged hair — loses moisture faster than untreated hair. A weekly deep conditioning mask replenishes that moisture, improves elasticity, and makes hair softer and more manageable. We love the Davines Nounou Hair Mask for very dry or damaged colour-treated hair, and the Davines Momo Hair Mask for medium-dry hair. Both are deeply conditioning without weighing hair down.
3. K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair
K18 is not a traditional conditioner — it is a scientifically advanced treatment that reconnects broken keratin chains within the hair at a molecular level. A small amount applied after washing (no rinsing required) repairs structural damage from bleach, colour, and heat over time. If your colour-treated hair is prone to breakage, brittleness, or excessive dryness, K18 is the most effective treatment available. We use it in-salon as part of our treatment menu, and you can also use the leave-in at home.
4. Heat Protectant — Bigoudee Power-Up
Heat styling is one of the fastest ways to fade colour and cause damage. Whether you blow-dry daily or occasionally straighten, a heat protectant is non-negotiable for colour-treated hair. Our Bigoudee Power-Up Heat Protector is formulated specifically for colour-treated hair — it shields hair from heat damage up to 230°C and helps seal in colour for longer-lasting vibrancy.
5. Purple or Toning Shampoo (For Blondes & Balayage)
If you are blonde, balayaged, or have any lightened sections, a purple toning shampoo is one of the most useful tools in your routine. Purple pigments neutralise yellow and brassy tones, keeping your colour cool and fresh between salon visits. Use it once or twice a week in place of your regular shampoo — leave it on for 2 to 5 minutes for best results. Ask your stylist which formula suits your tone best.
