Coloured grey hair needs consistent care to stay looking its best. Because grey hair behaves differently and is often drier and more resistant, maintenance plays a big role in how your colour looks between salon visits.
At Fiolet Hair in Lathlain, Perth, we help clients maintain their coloured grey hair so it stays fresh, soft, and intentional - not flat or tired.
What are common challenges with coloured grey hair?
It’s completely normal to notice a few changes once grey hair is coloured.
Common challenges include:
Faster visible regrowth, especially with full coverage colour
Colour fading between appointments
Dryness or loss of softness, particularly through the ends
The right care routine can significantly reduce these issues.
At-home care tips for coloured grey hair
How you care for your hair at home has a big impact on colour longevity and overall condition.
We recommend:
Using salon-quality, colour-safe products
Avoiding over-washing, which can strip colour and moisture
Protecting hair from heat styling and UV exposure
Using colour-depositing treatments or conditioners to refresh tone between visits
Applying root sprays or powders to camouflage regrowth when needed
These small habits help keep coloured grey hair looking polished for longer.
What to avoid after having your grey hair coloured
What you do immediately after having your grey hair coloured matters.
For the first 48 hours, try to avoid:
Washing your hair
Swimming (especially in chlorinated or salt water)
Excessive sweating from heavy workouts, hot yoga, or saunas
This allows the colour to fully settle and helps improve longevity.
Regular salon visits for grey hair are important
Regular appointments at Fiolet Hair in Lathlain, Perth help maintain both colour and condition. Professional treatments, toning, and trims keep coloured grey hair looking intentional and healthy over time.
Maintenance schedules vary depending on whether you have full coverage, blended colour, or highlights and your stylist can help you find a rhythm that suits your lifestyle.
With the right balance of at-home care and professional maintenance, coloured grey hair can stay vibrant, soft, and beautifully manageable.
