How to Care for Your Balayage: Keep Your Colour Fresh and Radiant with ICONIC Hairdressing
Balayage is one of the most beautiful and low-maintenance hair colour techniques out there—but low maintenance doesn’t mean no maintenance. If you want to keep your balayage looking fresh, glossy, and vibrant between salon visits, proper at-home care and professional touch-ups are key. At ICONIC Hairdressing, we specialise in beautiful, bespoke balayage using premium Joico colour and care products. Here’s everything you need to know to protect your investment and keep your hair stunning.
🧡 What Is Balayage?
Balayage is a freehand hair colouring technique that creates natural-looking, sun-kissed highlights. It grows out softly without harsh regrowth lines, making it ideal for anyone looking for a low-maintenance colour that still turns heads.
How to Care for Your Balayage
1. Use a Sulphate-Free, Colour-Safe Shampoo and Conditioner
We recommend the Joico Color Blonde life violet Shampoo and Joico K-PAK Color Therapy Conditioner to help neutralise brassy tones and maintain your balayage’s vibrancy. Sulphate-free formulas are gentle on the hair and help prolong your colour between salon visits.
2. Wash Less, Hydrate More
Washing your hair too frequently can strip your colour. Aim for 2–3 washes per week and incorporate a weekly deep-conditioning treatment like Joico Defy Damage Protective Masque to keep your hair soft, shiny, and strong.
3. Protect From Heat and UV Damage
Balayage-treated hair is more vulnerable to heat and sun exposure. Use a heat protectant like Joico Heat Hero Glossing Thermal Protector before styling, and wear a hat in strong sunlight to avoid fading.
4. Book a Midway Glossing Service
This is our secret weapon for balayage longevity! Around 6–8 weeks after your initial balayage, visit ICONIC Hairdressing for a midway glossing service. This treatment refreshes your tone, restores shine, and keeps brassiness at bay—especially essential for ash or cooler tones.
Our Joico glossing treatments are customised to your hair’s unique needs, leaving your colour looking as good as new—without the full colour appointment.
5. Keep Up with Regular Trims
Healthy hair holds colour better. Trimming the ends every 8–10 weeks will reduce split ends and keep your balayage looking polished and fresh.
