Preventing Hair Color Fade with Proper At-Home Care
2 min to read


Bright, bold hair colors, they make a statement. And all the work that went into them can be washed down the drain if proper at-home care isn’t taken.

Diana Giannini @lzhouseofhair, a creative colorist and MODERN SALON Artist Connective Member based in Barrington, Illinois, fills her chair and her Instagram feed with clients ready for pops of brightness, some pretty pastels and all-over statement making hair color. 

To protect her work and maintain hair health, Giannini uses the Enchanted Midnight Collection from designline, professional salon haircare formulated with oils, proteins, and Green Tea Extract to optimize color brilliance and protection for preserved color intensity.  Formulas are SLS/SLES and paraben free, gluten free, and color safe.

She recommends that clients make Enchanted Midnight color careproducts a part of their maintenance routine, as well. 

“The shampoo and conditioner provide a sulfate-free cleanse and balance out moisture and elasticity, which we all know our color clients need!” she says.

Designline Enchanted Midnight Collection is formulated to protect and preserve haircolor.

In addition to incorporating color-safe products into their regimen, these client instructions also help extend that vibrant finish:

  • Shampoo less and find a dry shampoo that you love and can use to refresh hair in between washings.

  • When you do shampoo your hair, use lukewarm water so you keep the cuticle closed and color molecules in.

  • Low heat setting for styling tools (same principle as above).

  • Sulfate-free hair products will offer a more gentle cleanse, remove less protective oil from scalp and hair, which helps maintain color results.
