The Color-treated Hair Savior’s Guide to Heat Damage Repair
Q: Why does your vibrant color fade when using hot tools？
A: Just one use of 150°C hot tools can cause 30% color loss!
But don’t worry, you can have stunning, heat-styled hair without sacrificing your color if the styling steps are right.
Here it the 3-step shield against heat damage, so you can curl, wave, and straighten without worry about fading hair color.
How Hot Tools “Murder” Your Hair Color
Heat Breaks Down Color Pigments
Hair dye molecules start disintegrating at 160°C+, turning your vibrant shade dull and muddy.
Further Cuticle Damage
Bleached hair already has raised cuticles—hot tools widen these gaps, speeding up color fade.
Moisture Loss = Faster Fading
High temps suck out moisture, weakening pigment bonds and leaving hair dry & brassy.
3-Step Heat Protection Routine
STEP 1: Pre-Style
Apply COLORLOMO Curl Defining Oil before heat styling: It can help to reduce heat damage by 63% and locks in color.
STEP 2: Smart Styling
For fine hair, you should keep tools ≤160°C. For thick hair, the max is 180°C.
Pro Tip: Use a tourmaline/ionic wand to minimize frizz. COLORLOMO Curl Defining Oil also helps curls last longer, reducing heat exposure.
STEP 3: Color Refresh
If heat dulls your hue, revive it with COLORLOMO Color Safe Shampoo & Conditioner at your next wash.
Bonus Must-Knows
Regular hair oils ≠ heat protection (they lack thermal shields).
“Style first, protect later” doesn’t work, because that damage happens instantly!
Pastels (pink/blue/lavender)? Stay extra cautious (≤150°C), since they really fade fastest!
