How to Maintain Your Hair After a Salon Visit
So, you’ve just walked out of La Foi Salon in Lubbock with a fresh cut, glossy color, or that perfect blowout—now what? The way you care for your hair at home can make all the difference in keeping that salon-fresh look lasting as long as possible.
Here are our expert-approved tips to help you maintain your hair after a salon visit, so you can keep turning heads until your next appointment.
1. Use the Right Products
That drugstore shampoo might be tempting, but not all products are created equal—especially when you’ve invested in color or a treatment like Olaplex or a Brazilian blowout.
Our Tip:
Stick with salon-recommended, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. At La Foi Salon, we carry professional-grade products tailored to your hair type and treatment. Ask your stylist what’s best for you before you leave the salon!
2. Don’t Wash Too Soon
We know it’s hard to resist, but avoid washing your hair for at least 48 hours after coloring or deep treatments. This gives your hair time to absorb the product fully and lock in the benefits.
Bonus: Use a silk pillowcase to keep your style intact and reduce frizz overnight.
3. Limit Heat Styling
We love a good hot tool moment, but overdoing it can undo your stylist’s hard work. Frequent heat styling can lead to breakage, dryness, and faster fading of color.
Pro Tip:
Use a heat protectant spray every single time you use a curling iron, flat iron, or blow dryer. Your future self (and hair) will thank you.
4. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
West Texas air is dry—and your hair feels it. Keep your strands moisturized with weekly deep conditioning treatments or leave-in conditioners that suit your hair type.
Ask us about in-salon hydration treatments for an extra boost between appointments.
5. Schedule Regular Trims
Split ends don’t care how good your color looks. We recommend coming in every 6–8 weeks for a trim to keep your ends healthy and your style polished.
Even if you’re growing your hair out, trims help it look better and grow stronger.
6. Protect Your Hair from the Elements
Sun, wind, and even hard water can affect your hair's health and vibrancy.
Helpful Habits:
Wear a hat in the Texas sun
Rinse hair with filtered water when possible
Use a UV-protecting hair mist if you’re outdoors often
7. Ask Your Stylist for a Home Routine
No one knows your hair better than your stylist. Before you leave La Foi, ask us for a custom haircare routine based on your style, color, and lifestyle. We love helping our Lubbock clients feel confident every day—not just salon day.
Final Thoughts
Maintaining your hair after a salon visit doesn’t have to be complicated—it just takes a few intentional steps and the right products. Whether you’ve just had a dramatic transformation or a subtle refresh, following these tips will help you extend the life of your look and protect your investment.
