How to Keep Your Vivid Hair Vibrant: Jess's Top Tips from Hush Salon and Spa

If you’ve ever taken the plunge into vivid hair colour—think magentas, aquas, fiery oranges, or that perfect shade of slime green—you know the thrill of a fresh, bold hue. But you also know that vivid hair takes a little extra love to stay looking salon-fresh. Lucky for you, we’ve got the inside scoop from our very own vivid queen, Jess at Hush Salon and Spa.

Jess is known for creating custom colour magic and turning heads with her vivid artistry. Whether it’s full-on rainbow or a bold money piece, Jess knows that caring for your colour doesn’t end when you leave the salon.

Here are Jess’s go-to tips and AG Care faves to help you keep your vivid colour looking vibrant, shiny, and healthy for as long as possible.

🌈 1. Start with a Solid Haircare Routine

Vivid colour works best on healthy hair. Jess always preps her clients with strengthening treatments and hydrating masks before applying bold hues.

Jess’s Pick:
AG Care Reconstruct Vitamin C Strengthening Mask:
This deep conditioner helps repair and strengthen hair from the inside out—ideal for keeping coloured hair soft, bouncy, and ready for bold pigment.

🚿 2. Wash Smart (and Less Often!)

Water is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to colour fading—especially hot water. Jess recommends washing your hair 2–3 times a week max and always using cool water to help preserve pigment.

Jess’s Pick:
AG Care Colour Savour Shampoo + Conditioner: Sulfate-free, gentle, and formulated to lock in colour. Bonus: it smells amazing and gives your hair that clean but not stripped feeling.

💧 3. Hydration is Your Best Friend

Vivid colour can dry your hair out, especially if you’ve lightened first. Keeping your strands moisturized helps your colour look shiny instead of dull.

Jess’s Pick:
AG Care Fast Food Leave-On Conditioner:
This is a leave-in must-have that hydrates without weighing your hair down. Jess uses this on freshly coloured hair to lock in softness and shine.

🌞 4. Protect Your Hair from the Elements

Sun, heat styling, and even the wrong pillowcase can speed up colour fading. Use heat protection, wear a hat in the sun, and sleep on a silk pillowcase when you can.

Jess’s Pick:
AG Care Firewall Argan Shine & Flat Iron Spray:
 Perfect for keeping hair safe while heat styling. Firewall adds a lightweight shine that helps vivid hair reflect light beautifully—aka that post-salon glow.

💜 5. Refresh with a Custom Colour Conditioner

Eventually, your vivid colour will fade a bit—that’s totally normal! Jess suggests booking a gloss refresh or using a custom-toned conditioner between visits.

Ask Jess at your next appointment about adding a custom-tinted AG Care Colour Masque to your at-home routine to keep your colour looking rich and fresh in between services.
