Welcome to the healthy hair + healthy colour blog!

Australia’s hair scene is having a major glow-up moment. 2025 is all about colour that looks expensive, feels effortless, and moves with you. From cool-girl brunettes to golden-hour coppers and ultra-glossy blondes, this season is about personalised luxury colour that enhances you. At QUE Colour, we’re seeing clients ask for natural movement, seamless tones, and finishes that feel lived in but polished. Think healthy shine, high gloss, and a tone that feels like it was made just for you.   What’s Driving Hair Colour Trends in 2025 If there’s one word to describe this year’s hair moment, it’s realism. The colour direction has shifted less high-contrast, more nuance. We’re seeing a return to refined tones that enhance natural beauty, led by cultural icons like Hailey Bieber, Sofia Richie, and Kaia Gerber. Fashion and pop culture are leaning into warmth, texture, and authenticity tones that mirror skin, sunlight, and softness. Australian clients are matching that energy, choosing hues that are wearable, versatile, and low-maintenance, yet always luxe. Blondes are moving from cool platinum to creamy beige. Brunettes are finding light through espresso glosses and mushroom tones. And copper? Still reigning but softer, more candlelit than ever. The Tones Everyone’s Talking About   No Bleach Brunette Understated, dimensional, and quietly expensive. Brown is that neutral, earthy brunette that gives depth without darkness. It’s ideal for cooler or neutral skin tones and perfect for anyone who wants movement and shine without obvious highlights. Hot White Blonde The clean, Scandi-inspired blonde that looks freshly glossed always. This shade is high-shine, high-maintenance, and high impact. It flatters lighter complexions and looks incredibly styled with bounce and polish. At QUE, we love finishing icy blondes with Wella Shinefinity for a reflective, glass-like finish. Copper Gold This one’s pure glow. Copper gold is having its comeback moment, adding warmth, dimension, and a golden radiance that works beautifully with olive or warm undertones. It’s your hair’s version of golden hour.   Espresso Glaze Rich. Sleek. Luxe. Espresso tones are giving major “quiet luxury” energy. Deep brunette shades with mirror-like shine elegant, timeless, and effortlessly put-together. Personalising Colour for You The key to making trends wearable? Tailoring them to you. Every tone shifts depending on your skin tone, natural base, and how your hair reflects light. Warm undertones love honey blondes, golds, and rich caramels. Cool undertones shine in ash, beige, or neutral mushroom hues. Neutral undertones can go either way rose beige or soft brown work perfectly. At QUE Colour, every shade is custom-blended. Your stylist will assess your undertones, texture, and goals to create something that looks high-impact in the chair but effortless day-to-day. Because the secret to great colour isn’t just trend it’s translation. How QUE Colour Brings Trends to Life Every season, QUE Colour translates global trends into wearable, bespoke colour stories always anchored in hair health.

Fresh colour doesn’t just happen in the chair; it starts with how you care for your hair in the days and weeks before your appointment. At QUE Colour, we think of hair prep before colouring as setting the canvas before painting the masterpiece. The better the canvas, the more vibrant, even, and long-lasting the result. In this guide, we’ll share exactly why preparation matters, the steps our stylists recommend, what to avoid, and how QUE supports you every step of the way. Why Hair Preparation Matters for Colour Results The condition of your hair makes all the difference in how colour develops and lasts. Strong, balanced strands will: Lock in colour for longer - hydrated, smooth hair fibres hold onto pigment far more effectively. Prevent uneven absorption – avoiding patchiness or unwanted tones. Reduce breakage – healthy hair withstands the chemical process without snapping or fraying. Deliver high-shine results – the smoother the cuticle, the more your colour reflects light. If your hair is dry, porous, or overloaded with product build-up, the colour molecules can’t settle properly. The result? Dull tones that fade faster. Prepping ensures you’re giving your stylist the best possible starting point. Key Steps to Prepare Hair Before Colouring Our QUE Colour stylists swear by a few essential prep rituals. Follow these in the week leading up to your appointment for maximum impact. 1. Deep Condition and Hydrate Moisture is everything when it comes to colour. Dry strands act like a sponge, they soak up pigment unevenly and release it just as quickly. In the week before your appointment: Use a deep conditioning mask 1–2 times. We love Christophe Robin’s Regenerating Mask with Prickly Pear Oil for intense nourishment without heaviness. Focus on mid-lengths to ends, where hair is most fragile. Rinse with cool water to help seal the cuticle. 2. Strengthen with Bond Builders Colouring involves altering the internal structure of the hair. Bond builders, like WellaPlex No. 3 Hair Stabiliser, work to reinforce and protect those bonds before and during the process. Think of it as scaffolding for your strands, keeping everything strong and supported so your colour lasts longer and looks healthier. 3. Protect From Heat Your straightener may be your best friend, but in the days leading up to colour, it’s best to give hot tools a break. Excessive heat weakens keratin proteins, leaving hair more vulnerable during colouring. If you do style, always use a heat protectant. At QUE, we’re obsessed with: Christophe Robin Aloe Vera Leave-In Cream provides lightweight hydration and protection. Christophe Robin Regenerating Serum doubles as a heat shield and shine enhancer. 4. Balance the Scalp Healthy hair starts at the scalp. A balanced, buildup-free scalp ensures colour applies evenly from root to tip. We recommend: Switching to a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo in the week prior. Avoiding heavy oils or thick masks right at the root. Exfoliating gently with a scalp scrub (like Christophe Robin’s Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Sea Salt) if you’re prone to product build-up. What to Avoid Before a Colour Appointment Prepping doesn’t just mean adding treatments, it’s also about knowing what not to do. Skip heavy styling products. Dry shampoo, silicone-heavy serums, and hairspray can coat the hair and block colour absorption. Don’t layer chemical treatments. If you’ve just had a keratin or relaxer, give your hair breathing room before colour. Overlapping services can stress strands and lead to unpredictable results. Hold off on DIY masks and oils right before your appointment. While treatments are great in the lead-up, applying thick oils or homemade masks right before can interfere with professional colour formulas. Don’t arrive with freshly washed hair. Natural oils help protect the scalp during colouring - so wash the day before, not the morning of. In-Salon Prep & Consultation Support at QUE Colour Every client journey at QUE starts with a tailored consultation. This isn’t just about choosing the perfect blonde, brunette, or copper shade, it’s about ensuring your hair is in the right condition for the colour to last. Our stylists will: Assess your hair’s condition, porosity, and history. Recommend a personalised pre-colour treatment plan, whether that’s a moisture mask, a bond-builder, or an in-salon strengthening service. Guide you on which products to use at home to maintain your results long after you leave the salon. It’s a holistic approach: the artistry of colour, backed by the science of hair care. Pro Tips from the QUE Team   We asked our stylists for their go-to prep advice: Jess, blonde specialist: “If you want icy, luminous blondes, bond-building is non-negotiable. Start strengthening before your appointment for the best lift.” Catherine, long-layer queen: “Healthy ends mean healthy colour. If your lengths are thirsty, hydrate them with masks before coming in  it makes a world of difference.” Mollie, cutting and foiling expert: “Don’t skip scalp prep. A balanced scalp ensures colour sits beautifully at the roots and grows out more seamlessly.” FAQs: Hair Prep Before Colour   What should I do to my hair before colouring? Focus on hydration and strength. Use masks, bond builders, and gentle shampoos in the week prior. Should I wash my hair before colouring? Wash the day before, not the day of. Natural oils help protect your scalp. Can I use oil before colouring? Avoid heavy oils right before they can create a barrier. Use lightweight leave-ins or masks in the days leading up. How do I strengthen my hair before dyeing? Use professional bond builders (like WellaPlex) and hydrating masks. Avoid heat styling as much as possible. How do I get the best results from my colour appointment? Prep your hair properly, trust your stylist’s advice, and maintain your results with professional products at home.

Healthy hair doesn’t happen by accident; it's the result of choosing the right salon, the right stylist, and the right philosophy. While at-home routines and products are important, the foundation of true hair health begins behind the chair. The reality? Not all salons are created equal. Some prioritise speed or trends over integrity, leaving your hair compromised in the long run. At QUE Colour, our mission has always been simple: protect and elevate the health of every strand while delivering the colour and style you’ve been dreaming of because great hair should look beautiful today and still feel incredible months down the track. What Defines a Healthy Hair Salon? A healthy hair salon is more than just a place to book in for colour or a cut; it’s a partner in your long-term hair journey. Here’s what truly sets a salon apart: Long-term integrity over quick fixes: Your stylist should always prioritise preserving the natural structure of your hair. Healthy shine, strength, and movement should never be sacrificed for a short-lived look. Professional-grade, nourishing products: From shampoos to finishing serums, only the highest-quality, salon-approved products should touch your hair. At QUE Colour, we choose formulations from brands like Wella Professionals, Christophe Robin, and Larry King Haircare to ensure every step supports hair health. Education + consultation: A healthy hair salon values time spent understanding you. Every appointment should begin with an expert consultation, and your stylist should continually upskill to stay at the forefront of techniques and trends. Common Salon Practices That Can Harm Hair Unfortunately, many clients come to us after experiences where their hair health was compromised. Common pitfalls include: Rushed colour jobs: Skipping steps or overlapping bleach can cause long-term damage that’s hard to repair. One-size-fits-all formulas: Every head of hair is unique, and applying the same approach to every client ignores that individuality. Lack of care guidance: Healthy hair isn’t just about the appointment itself. Without proper pre- and post-care recommendations, even a good colour can fade fast or leave strands feeling brittle. At QUE, we believe avoiding these shortcuts is non-negotiable. How QUE Colour Approaches Hair Health Differently Healthy hair is at the core of everything we do, from the consultation to the final blow-dry. Bespoke consultations: We never rush the beginning of your appointment. Our team listens, assesses, and maps out a plan that balances your vision with what your hair can safely achieve. Expertise at every level: Led by Monique McMahon, one of Australia’s few Wella Master Colour Experts, our stylists are trained to protect and restore your hair’s natural structure, no matter the service. Premium products + gentle techniques: Whether it’s a Shinefinity glaze, a Christophe Robin scalp treatment, or careful hand-painted foils, we only use methods that enhance and preserve hair health. The result? Colour that feels as good as it looks. The Role of Education, Environment & Philosophy Hair health is not just about products and technique; it’s also about the environment you walk into and the philosophy that drives every decision. At QUE Colour, we value: Transparency: We’ll always tell you what’s realistic, and set expectations that prioritise the integrity of your hair. Collaboration: Our salon is a team environment where ideas and expertise are shared to give you the best possible outcome. Client-first culture: Your well-being comes first. We believe healthy hair equals confidence, and confidence changes everything.   Why Your Salon Choice is the First Step in Your Hair Journey The truth is, your salon choice matters more than any single product or treatment. A healthy hair salon empowers you with knowledge, supports you with expertise, and gives your hair the best chance to thrive long term. When you choose QUE Colour, you’re not just booking a colour appointment; you’re investing in a philosophy of care-first, client-first service that keeps your hair luminous, strong, and healthy from season to season.

Colour should feel like self-care, not stress. Nothing beats the confidence boost of fresh colour, but no one wants the hidden side effect of weak, snapping strands. At QUE Colour, we believe your dream shade should never come at the expense of strong, glossy hair. The good news? With the right prep, the right approach in the chair, and the right love at home, you *can* have both. Here’s how to colour smarter, not harsher - straight from the QUE experts. Why Does Hair Breakage Happen When Colouring? Let’s break it down (pun intended). Colour works by lifting the hair cuticle so pigment can get in or out. It’s totally normal, but it does make strands more vulnerable. Add in regular heat styling, bleaching, or a little too much DIY box dye action, and breakage risk skyrockets. How to know if your hair’s crying out for help?  Watch for: • Split ends that multiply faster than you can trim. • Snapping strands around your hairline. • That dull, rough feeling that no amount of brushing fixes. • Colour that seems to fade the minute you leave the salon. But don’t panic, colour and healthy hair can absolutely co-exist with the right care.   How to Prepare Your Hair Before Colouring to Avoid Breakage Think of pre-colour prep as your hair’s training session before the big game. Just like an athlete wouldn’t show up without warming up, your strands need a little TLC before facing the colour bowl. When your hair is strong and hydrated, the colour payoff is richer, longer-lasting, and far less damaging. Deep Hydration Treatments Moisture is the foundation of healthy hair. A week or two before your appointment, start treating your hair with rich masks or leave-in treatments packed with ingredients like aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides.  These restore shine and softness while helping to smooth the cuticle, so your strands can better withstand the colouring process. Pair hydration with protein-based treatments to rebuild elasticity and strength; this balance is key to preventing snapping or brittle ends. Bond Builders Before Colour If you’re planning to lighten your hair or go through a big colour shift, bond-repair treatments are essential. Products like Olaplex or K18 work on a molecular level to reconnect broken bonds inside the hair shaft.  This means your stylist can lift your colour safely while keeping your hair’s structure intact. Think of bond builders as a safety net; they give your hair extra resilience during chemical services. Give Heat Tools a Break Overusing straighteners, curling irons, and even blow dryers leaves the cuticle fragile before you colour. In the lead-up to your appointment, give your hair a “heat holiday.” Try air-drying, gentle braids, or heatless waves to reduce cumulative stress. This rest period gives your strands more flexibility and strength once the colour process begins. Clarify and Nourish A clean canvas always delivers the best results. Using a gentle clarifying shampoo a week before your colour removes product build-up, minerals, and excess oils that can block even colour absorption.  But don’t stop there,  follow up immediately with a deep conditioning mask to replenish lost moisture. This one-two punch ensures your hair is perfectly primed to soak up both pigment and treatments at the salon.   Pro tip: Healthy, prepped hair doesn’t just resist breakage, it also holds onto colour better, meaning fewer touch-ups and a longer-lasting glow.   In-Salon Tips to Avoid Hair Breakage During Colouring   This is where your stylist’s expertise makes all the difference. At QUE Colour, we never copy-and-paste colour formulas - everything is designed around your hair’s condition, texture, and long-term goals. By choosing the right techniques and treatments in the chair, you can enjoy beautiful colour without compromising your hair’s strength. Choose the Right Technique Not every colouring method is created equal. Balayage, foils, glosses, tints, and root melts all put different levels of stress on the hair. For fragile or previously coloured strands, a gloss or partial balayage may be far gentler than a full-head bleach.  The right choice depends on your hair’s health, your maintenance preferences, and the look you’re chasing. A skilled colourist will guide you toward options that give maximum impact with minimal breakage risk. Make Bond Builders Non-Negotiable Ask your stylist if bond-building treatments can be added directly to your colour service. These advanced formulas (like Olaplex or K18) protect and repair hair as it’s being coloured, acting as armour for your strands. Especially if you’re going lighter, bond builders dramatically reduce breakage and leave your hair feeling stronger post-service. Ask Smart Questions Curiosity isn’t just welcome - it’s encouraged. During your appointment, don’t be shy about asking: Can bond builders be added to my colour today? What’s the best refresh or toning timeline for my shade? Which aftercare products will protect my colour and prevent breakage between visits? The answers help you understand the process, set realistic expectations, and keep your results looking salon-fresh for longer. Trust the Personalisation At QUE Colour, we always weigh up the health of your hair with your dream shade. Sometimes that means slowing the process down and reaching your goal in stages rather than in one sitting. It’s not about saying “no” to your colour, it’s about saying “yes” to long-lasting, glossy results that won’t leave your strands compromised. Pro tip: Breakage often happens when stylists rush the process. Taking it slow may feel like a longer journey, but it’s the only way to achieve your colour safely and sustainably. Aftercare Tips to Prevent Hair Breakage After Colouring The salon glow is just the beginning - what you do at home determines whether your colour stays glossy or fades fast, and whether your strands stay strong or start to snap. With the right aftercare routine, you can extend your colour, protect your hair’s structure, and prevent breakage long after your appointment. Gentle Cleansing for Colour-Treated Hair Switch to a sulphate-free shampoo designed for coloured hair. Sulphates strip away natural oils and pigments, making hair dry and prone to breakage. Washing less often allows your scalp’s natural oils to protect and nourish your strands, aim for 2–3 washes per week, and use dry shampoo in between if needed. Handle Your Hair Like Silk Freshly coloured hair is more fragile, so treat it gently. Instead of rough towel-drying, gently pat or squeeze out excess water with a soft cotton T-shirt or microfiber towel. At night, sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase, or wrap your hair, reducing friction while you sleep, which helps prevent breakage and keeps your cuticle smooth. Detangle With Care Always detangle hair when it’s damp, not soaking wet, and use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush. Start at the ends and work upwards in sections to avoid unnecessary snapping. For extra protection, apply a lightweight leave-in conditioner or detangling spray. Weekly Treatments = Stronger Strands Think of weekly masks as your hair’s maintenance plan. Alternate between a deeply hydrating mask (to replenish moisture) and a bond-repair treatment (to rebuild strength and elasticity). Setting aside one “mask day” per week makes this habit easy to stick to — and your colour will last longer as a result. Be Smart With Heat Styling Heat doesn’t have to be the enemy, but protection is non-negotiable. Always apply a heat shield before blow-drying, straightening, or curling. Where possible, lower the temperature setting and avoid daily use. Your hair will thank you with fewer split ends and longer-lasting colour vibrancy. Shield Your Hair From the Sun UV exposure can fade colour and weaken hair fibres just as much as heat tools. When you’re outdoors, protect your strands with a UV-protective spray or a wide-brimmed hat. This small step keeps both your colour and your hair integrity intact.   Pro tip: Consistency is everything. Following these simple habits every week makes the difference between colour that fades fast and hair that stays glossy, strong, and breakage-free.   When to Call in the Hair Colour Experts If your hair is shedding more than usual, breaking at the root, or your colour won’t hold no matter what you do, it’s time to let us take a look. A professional consultation at QUE Colour can pinpoint the issue and set you up with tailored treatments (in-salon and at home) to get your hair back on track. Because sometimes, your strands just need that extra bit of expert love. Final Thoughts Colouring your hair should feel exciting, not risky. With the right prep, an expert stylist, and a little aftercare discipline, breakage doesn’t stand a chance. At QUE Colour, our mantra is simple: healthy hair, always. We combine artistry with science so you never have to choose between your dream colour and the strength of your strands. **Ready to protect your colour and your hair?** [Book a Colour Consultation] with QUE Colour for personalised advice and colour planning.

SPRING INTO STYLE  As the chill of winter fades and your hair emerges from months of dry, indoor heat, spring bursts onto the scene with vibrant colours, warmer days, and the promise of renewal. Just as we swap out our wardrobes for lighter fabrics and brighter hues, our hair care routine needs a seasonal refresh too. How can I save my winter hair? Winter can be tough on hair. The cold, dry air, and indoor heating often leave our locks parched and prone to breakage. As you transition into spring, focus on rehydrating and nourishing your hair to restore its natural lustre.                                          Pro Tip:                         Use a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask once a week. Products like the Regenerating Prickly Pear mask (for coarse more dense hair types) or Hydrating mask with Aloe (for our finer hair types), adding  moisture and strengthening your hair, whilst being a super lightweight treatment. Pay extra attention to the ends, where damage is most common!  What hair colour should I get this spring? From soft peachy tones, warm sun kissed blondes to chocolate glazes and mink brunettes. There’s no better time to play with colour!  Pro Tip:  If you’re thinking about going lighter or darker, make sure to protect your colour investment. The Shade Variation mask  is perfect for keeping your hair colour fresh and vibrant while providing the hydration it needs.   Layers & Curtain Bangs this spring? There’s something incredibly refreshing about starting the new season with a fresh haircut. This spring, it’s all about movement and texture. Think hidden layers, bouncy curls, and chic curtain bangs that effortlessly frame the face.  That’s a YES from QUE!  Pro Tip:  To maintain your new style, use a lightweight styling mousse like Larry King's famous Nannas mousse. It provides just the right amount of hold and volume while keeping your hair looking natural and full of life with the perfect  amount of shine.   Can my hair be damaged by the sun? As the days get longer and the sun shines brighter, your hair needs protection from UV rays, which can cause dryness and colour fading. Additionally, springtime showers and humidity can lead to frizz and flyaways. Pro Tip:  Incorporate a UV-protection like Larry King's The Good life Shampoo into your  routine. Not only will it help protect your hair from the sun, but it will also keep it smooth and frizz-free, no matter the weather. How do I Revitalise my  Scalp for Hair Growth?  A healthy scalp is the foundation for beautiful hair. After a winter of dry, flaky conditions, spring is the ideal time to focus on scalp care.  Pro Tip: Start with  The Spoilt for Choice (rosemary) hair oil as a pre-shampoo treatment using the pipettes to apply small drops to the scalp, massage  and leave in for 10 minutes then going in with The Good Life Shampoo.

The first trend of 2024 has arrived, and word on the street is that the clean girl is out and the mob wife era is in. We all became consumed with the idea of neutral tones, minimal makeup, slicked hair and quiet luxury in 2023.  Get ready to do a complete 180; think bold, stealth wealth, voluptuous hair, animal print, faux fur coats and an iconic smokey eye. Mob wife aesthetic is the embodiment of more is more, and it's the perfect excuse to go a little more rogue.  The trend started on TikTok late last year and gained significant traction among TikTok users in the first week of 2024. Since then, it has taken over almost everyone’s social media. We have even seen Jennifer Lopez, Dua Lipa and Kendall Jenner, just to name a few, successfully channelling the aesthetic. Channelling Confidence and Power We can look to the likes of Carmela Soprano and Adriana La Cerva from The Sopranos, Karen Hill in Goodfellas and Elvira Hancock in Scarface, with the style from the 80s and 90s also influencing people online. One thing they all have in common? Big hair. Bouncy, voluminous blowouts played a quintessential role in distinguishing an everyday woman from a mob wife. It is clear that the whole aesthetic goes beyond simply looks, but rather it is a way of portraying a certain attitude and aura. In this instance, it’s about looking “booked and busy” and, most importantly, the unbothered attitude of a woman with money, ultimately being the walking example of wealth, confidence and authority.      How To Achieve The Iconic Mob Wife Blow Out At Que Colour, we have gained global attention for our famous blowouts and layered butterfly haircuts. This trend has been calling our name, and we’re about to give you the hottest tips on how to achieve a larger-than-life, mob wife blowout that will not only look incredible, but maintain its volume and curl.     A Classic Mousse:  One of our best-selling products and for a good reason, My Nanna’s Mousse by Larry King is designed to help the hair to appear fuller, with a plumping and thickening effect. The hair is left with a soft, bouncy volume and shine. The product helps increase elasticity and provides a product-free feel. If you get one thing, make it this.   BUY NOW   A Good Round Blow Dry Brush: Your brush plays a vital role in the outcome of your blowout. Boar Bristle brushes provide more stretch and tension on the hair, leaving you with ultimate shine. The bristles are more gentle on the scalp and help redistribute natural oils from your scalp and add more shine.   BUY NOW A Nourishing Hair Oil: The newly launched Spoilt For Choice Oil from Larry King is a true overachiever. We have been obsessed with the shine achieved from adding this to the hair before a blow dry. Formulated with rosemary oil, jojoba oil, argan oil and squalene, all rich in vitamins and minerals to help nourish and strengthen the hair as well as helping to soothe and restore the scalp.  BUY NOW   Mob Wife Aesthetic Hair Colour  It’s not a mob wife without rich, expensive brunette hair. So if you start noticing your friends switching to the dark side, there's a high chance they have been influenced by this trend.  We love this for all the right reasons, it aligns with our message of healthy, hydrated hair versus over-lightening and processing. Not only does going darker require less maintenance, but we almost always see an improvement over time in our client's hair. Our double glazed offering delivers incredible results and is an affordable way to get a celebrity-worthy shine, adding to that rich vibe exuded by mob wives.  Put simply, a double glaze is two glossing services provided back to back. A clear gloss over natural hair, a semi-permanent copper colour or demi-permanent copper colour. This is followed by a second gloss (or glaze) at the basin, which gives the hair a shimmering hint of tone to add intense colour reflection and give the hair a filtered look. Maintaining Your Brunette At Home  The Christophe Robin Shade Variation Range is your go-to for maintaining a rich brunette between salon visits. These are pigmented masks that work to neutralise unwanted cool tones and nourish hair at the same time. The Ash Brown shade is enriched with liquorice extract to restore an intense, cool brunette shade.  You don’t need a professional for this one; simply shampoo your hair like usual, towel dry, and then apply from root to tip and leave on for 30 minutes. Lasting only 2-3 washes, this is the ultimate no-commitment glaze!    Conclusion  To wrap things up, it's clear that the strong, glamorous personas of mob wives have inspired a shift in hair trends. Big curls, voluminous updos and healthy, rich colour all serve as a way to channel the confidence and resilience embodied by these characters.  Combine a nourishing pigmented mask, classic blow dry brush, and a few pumps of volumising hair mousse; you’re on the way to a bigger than life, mob wife hairstyle that screams booked and busy. As always, our number one tip to nailing this trend is to have beautiful vibrant locks, because healthy hair always looks better! We hope you use some of our hair hacks to channel your best mob wife era. Follow us on our socials for all the latest trends on healthy hair and healthy colour - TikTok and Instagram.

When it comes to how to keep coloured hair healthy, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. From skipping shampoo to chlorine disasters, we’re going to answer the most common questions and talk about what you can do at home to maintain healthy and nourished hair in between salon visits.  One crucial factor is understanding that as we transition through seasonal changes, our hair is exposed to different climates. Just as many of us notice drier, dehydrated skin in winter, compared to oily, clogged skin in summer, our hair undergoes similar changes.  At Que Colour, we see a common theme of summer hair being faded and appearing frizzier, whereas winter brings drier air, leading to increased breakage and brittleness. Hence, it is super important to have a range of products that not only work for coloured hair but also adapt to seasonal changes.   What Is Colour-Treated Hair? Colour-treated hair is hair that has undergone a chemical process, such as dyeing or bleaching, to alter its natural colour. Whether covering greys or exploring the hottest trends, colour-treated hair demands special care to maintain its health and vibrancy.   Is Overwashing A Thing? Yes! Overwashing your hair is real, especially for coloured hair. The reason for this is that washing hair frequently can strip away natural oils and essential moisture, leading to dryness and dullness. For coloured hair, the risk is even higher as frequent washing can accelerate colour fading. Generally, we suggest washing your coloured hair 2-3 times a week to preserve both the colour and the health of the hair.   What Ingredients Should I Avoid? It is ESSENTIAL to use products that are both sulphate and silicone-free. Sulphates can clog pores and close your hair cuticles which completely strips away the natural oils of your hair.   Silicones are ingredients made up of silica (a plastic-like element found in sand). Silicones can build up on the scalp and suffocate your hair follicles, causing irritation and dandruff. Silicone-free formulas lead to overall scalp health, and healthy hair starts at the scalp!   Is Shampoo Bad For Coloured Hair? A common question we get at Que Colour is whether to avoid shampoo, especially for those with colour-treated hair. It's crucial to strike a balance. While overwashing can strip away natural oils and contribute to colour fade, completely avoiding shampoo isn't advisable.  Shampoo itself is not inherently bad for coloured hair, but certain ingredients commonly found in shampoos can pose challenges. To mitigate this, choose sulphate-free and colour-safe shampoos designed to preserve the vibrancy of coloured hair. If you do need to wash your hair more than 3 times a week, we recommend using less shampoo and focusing just on the roots where oil and product buildup are most concentrated.  Overall, it's essential to strike a balance in your hair care routine, considering factors like shampoo frequency, product formulation and overall hair health.   What Hair Care Products Will Help Prevent Damage and Breakage In Colour-Treated Hair? Discovering the secret to maintaining that gorgeous post-salon shine for your colour-treated hair? It's all about the right hair care products. It is important to understand that after a fresh colour, your hair will need some extra T.L.C.  This means investing in formulations designed for post-colour maintenance. Below, we'll delve into the best colour-safe hair-care products, based on each season. Get ready for a vibrant, salon-fresh mane!   Summer Hair Colour Care Summer weather in Australia brings about extreme heat, harsh UV and humidity. These conditions are the main culprit for stripping colour and causing breakage. To combat this, we love the Colour Shield Cleansing Mask and Colour Shield Shampoo from Christophe Robin. Specifically developed to help prolong the vibrancy of colour-treated hair, it uses camu-camu berries, sunflower seed extract and macadamia oil to infuse hair with softness and shine.  Colourshield Cleansing Mask Colourshield Cleansing Shampoo   For something more lightweight, a fantastic option is the Hydrating Shampoo with Aloe Vera, formulated to restore the appearance of dry, dull hair. For extra hydration in-between washes, the Christophe Robin Hydrating Leave-In Mist with Aloe Vera is our top pick.      Hydrating Shampoo with Aloe Vera       Hydrating Leave-In Mist with Aloe Vera   Autumn Hair Colour Care Autumn is the perfect time to start preparing your hair for winter whilst recovering from Summer. The air starts becoming cooler and drier, which requires you to amp up the moisture. Not only does the Hydrating Cream Scrub gently exfoliate the roots and scalp, but it is also packed with aloe vera and fermented agave juice extract, so hair is left looking sleek, shiny and conditioned.  One of our best sellers, for a reason, is the Christophe Robin Hydrating Melting Mask. We love this silky conditioning mask for its ultra-light texture, melting beautifully into the hair to enhance shine and reduce frizz.         Hydrating Cream Scrub       Hydrating Melting Mask   We recommend using a purifying mask, like this Thermal Mud Mask from Christophe Robin to overcome the effects of the sun, chlorine, and saltwater exposure. Used pre-wash, the mask works to help draw out any build-up of impurities and pollution. For the ultimate pairing, use it alongside a Purifying Shampoo to detoxify and deeply cleanse the hair and scalp.   Purifying Mud Mask   Purifying Shampoo   Winter Hair Colour Care Cool temperatures and low humidity call for extra hydration and nourishing treatments. First up, the best-selling Regenerating Mask with Prickly Pear Oil from Christophe Robin; we swear by this hair mask. It's creamy, intensely nourishing and gives the hair a visible glossy luminosity. Packed with prickly pear seed oil, one of the richest plant sources of omegas and amino acids, the Regenerating Serum works wonders to infuse hair with a soft, sumptuous feel and reveal an ultimate shine.  Give your hair a breather from the hot styling tools; heatless hair styling will not only save time, but save your hair from damage, promoting longer-lasting colour, longer-growing hair, and stronger, healthier locks. Instead, use the Instant Volumising Mist with Rose to add some body without the need for heat.           Regenerating Mask     Regenerating Serum     Instant Volumising Mist   Spring Hair Colour Care It’s time to rejuvenate your hair after the harsh winter weather. Hydration is key to replenishing moisture lost in cooler months. Like a multivitamin for your hair, the Larry King Good Life Shampoo is packed with goodness from green tea extract to Biotin; it specifically works to prevent colour fading and damage.   A cult classic, A Social Life For Your Hair is a super-charged satin finishing cream used to smooth, define, add shine, texture or tame. This is an everyday hair hero.  Quite literally in the name, the Liquid Hairbrush Conditioner has been formulated to seal down the hair cuticle, lock in moisture and combat tangles during rinsing, reducing the need for brushing.    Larry King Good Life Shampoo  A Social Life For Your Hair Liquid Hairbrush Conditioner   To Wrap It Up!  To maintain vibrant hair colour all year round, having healthy hair is our biggest tip because any colour always looks better on healthy hair!  We hope you use some of our season-specific hair care recommendations.

Summer Hair challenges are real during the hot season, full of scorching hot days, swimming and soaking up rays. However, this often leads to increased chemical and sun exposure. At Que Colour, we've observed that, sadly, hair often takes the brunt of these summer conditions, experiencing dryness, frizz, and damage – all the things you want to avoid for maintaining healthy summer hair. We've prepared a few tips to help! This blog will provide you with a rundown on our top picks to protect your hair during the sun-kissed season and keep it at its healthiest between salon visits. Why Do I Need To Look After My Hair More In Summer?  There are a few different factors that contribute to hair damage during summer, let's talk about it. First and foremost, damage from heat and UV rays are top of the list. This is because extended sun exposure breaks down the hair's outer layer of lipids, which is essentially a natural barrier of protection to the environment. UV rays also act like bleach, turning beautiful creamy blondes into brassy yellow tones.  Humidity is the bane of everyone's existence. Humidity equals moisture, and as your hair soaks this up, the shafts begin to swell, and your cuticles break, leading to frizz. And lastly, swimming, whether in the pool or ocean, you guessed it, causes damage. The chlorine in pools can wreak havoc on hair, stripping away its natural oils and, in turn, allowing all the other heavy chemicals to alter the hair colour. On the other end of the spectrum, salt water simply dries your hair out, resulting in a crunchy dry feel which we definitely don’t love.    How Can I Stop My Hair From Becoming Dry Over Summer? There are so many tips on what works best to maintain hair health during summer, from rich, nourishing hair products to simply wearing a hat; here are our tried and tested picks!   Overall, the best practice is to incorporate a healthy hair care routine at home. In summer, this looks like applying overnight hair masks and oils, limiting heat styling, using a wide tooth comb when brushing wet hair to prevent breakage (wet hair = weak) and protecting your scalp with SPF and a hat.      Hair oiling is one of the best ways to nourish your hair and reduce frizz; try Christophe Robin Night Recovery Monoï Oil infused with luxurious Monoi de Tahiti. This product works overnight to nourish and repair hair inside out.    If you want to step things up, combining the Monoï oil with an overnight treatment like this Recovery Cream with White Lotus Flower from Christophe Robin is such a game changer. Formulated with white lotus and African hibiscus flowers, simply apply this rich cream at night and wake up to restored soft hair.   More swimming during summer also means more frequent hair washing; we recommend using the Hydrating Leave-In Cream from Christophe Robin after washing to help restore dry, sun-damaged hair. Featuring aloe vera and agave juice, we love how it provides a much-needed and visible hydration boost.  Our Product Recommendations For Healthier Hair This Summer     For Coloured Hair If you have coloured hair, it is even more important to make sure you have a solid hair care routine coming into summer! Below are our top suggestions to keep your hair in its best shape in between appointments.  The Colour Shield Cleansing Mask is an essential product for any coloured hair. This gentle, low-foaming cleansing mask is expertly created to help prolong the vibrancy of colour-treated hair, and respects hair’s natural precious oils so lengths feel intensely nourished with a glossy, long-lasting radiance.   An absolute essential at Que Colour, the Christophe Robin Shade Variation Masks. These are pigmented masks that work to neutralise unwanted cool tones and nourish hair at the same time. With 5 shades to pick from, it is the perfect way to extend your colour at home before your next appointment.    For Normal/Dry Hair The hydrating aloe vera combo from Christophe Robin is PERFECT for those with normal or dry hair.   The Hydrating Melting Mask with Aloe Vera is amazing for hair that needs a burst of hydration and nourishing oils. Containing aloe vera for hydration and flaxseed oil for omega-3 fatty acids, we love to use this as a conditioner for visibly softer and luminous hair.    Composed of 94% natural-origin ingredients, the Hydrating Shampoo with Aloe Vera restores the appearance of dry, dull hair and gently cleanses so the scalp feels invigorated and hair looks luminous and shiny. For Curly Hair It’s no secret that healthy curls require a little extra love, care and the right combination of curly hair products.      The Luscious Curl Cleansing Balm with Kokum Butter is a low-foaming cleanser featuring the hero ingredient, kokum butter, combined with chia seed oil, jojoba and sunflower seed oil. It works to thoroughly condition ultra-dry hair and enhance the natural curl pattern.  Suitable for medium wavy hair (2B) to curly hair, and to fine coily hair (4A), as well as everything in between. This Nourishing Curl Enhancer from Larry King features a blend of wheat protein, avocado, jojoba, mango butter and natural curl-enhancing ingredients to add shine, volume and fight frizz - just what you need for that summer glow.  For more in-depth curly hair product recommendations, check out our curly hair blog!   Best Gentle Brushes for Summer Brushing  Our number 1 tip is - Don’t brush when wet. When our hair is wet it is at its weakest state, to avoid any breakage we suggest detangling your hair PRE shower on dry hair and do not brush your hair again until up to 50% dry.   This Contour Vent Brush from Ibiza is the perfect all-rounder brush. It combines boar bristles for shine, ball tip nylon to stimulate the scalp and a geometrical design which contours to the shape of the head.     We recommend using the Ibiza Airwave Shower Brush for your pre-shower brush whilst your hair is dry. Engineered to be used before, during or after a shower, it is anti-static, ergonomic and effortlessly glides through hair.  If you do need to brush your hair whilst it is wet, a wide comb like the Ibiza Wave Comb, coated in 22k gold, is the most gentle option. Loosely spaced, it is amazing for detangling wet hair, adding texture or combing out a bouncy blow dry.  Last But Not Least, Up The Hydration With This Unique Product!  The Hydrating Cream Scrub with Aloe Vera from Christophe Robin is a truly unique and effective creamy clarifying product your scalp is going to just love. Unlike a typical scrub, it uses jojoba particles and shea butter to soothe and gently exfoliate the scalp whilst conditioning, rehydrating and nourishing hair Go into this summer with a strong haircare lineup and you will come out of it with even better hair!

There are so many healthy hair hacks to achieve strong vibrant locks, we have a few for you! We will give you the full rundown on our fave healthy hair hacks, the best products to use for strong and vibrant locks and what can help your hair best in and out of the salon! Our best healthy hair hack  is having a strong hair care routine at home. This is just as important as regular visits to the salon to keep your hair and colour healthy. Why Do I Need a Hair Care Routine? A hair care routine that is in tune with you and your hair needs is just as important as what happens in the salon. A good shampoo and conditioner combo free of silicones and sulphates is super important. To add to this a good hair mask full of nutrients and vitamins afterwards will take your hair to the next level.  Healthy Hair Hacks to Reduce Heat Damage Air drying your hair isn't a new technique however, it is a way to restore your hair to its optimum health by giving it a rest from the hot styling tools. Air drying your hair will be a step in giving you long lasting colour, faster growing hair and stronger healthier locks.  A hot tip if you have bangs or face framing layers is to blow dry just the fringe of your hair while you let the rest dry naturally, or tie the rest back in a high pony. This automatically gives a polished look without the effort.  You can try out the “heatless hair kits”  which we have seen so many influential people using - by wrapping your damp hair around a curling ribbon and tying it together whilst you sleep (or finish getting ready) these kits give you curler results without the 200 degree celsius heat.   If you can't break up with your hair straightener, the next best thing is to invest in a heat protectant product. This is a must have for every one using heat stylers, the GHD bodyguard heat protectant shields your hair against the heat of straighteners, tongs, wands and hair dryers with ghd Heat Protect Spray. This thermal protectant creates an invisible barrier on the hair, defending against heat damage and creating a smoother, shinier finish.   What Products Will Keep My Hair Colour Healthy And Long Lasting?  The Colour shield shampoo and Colour shield mask combo by Christophe Robin is ELITE for extending the life of your colour at home. The Colour shield shampoo with camu-camu berries by Christophe Robin is perfect for any bleached, highlighted or coloured hair. This gently cleansing shampoo is expertly created to help lock in colour radiance for longer to protect it from fading so it has a lasting lustrous, glossy and freshly coloured look. Colour shield cleansing Mask  is an essential product for any coloured hair. This gently low-foaming cleansing mask is expertly created to help prolong the vibrancy of colour treated hair, respects hair’s natural precious oils so lengths feel intensely nourished with a glossy, long-lasting radiance. The pigmented hair masks by Chriostophe Robin provide hair colour treatments to neutralise unwanted tones or to enhance your natural hair colour. There are 5 Shade Variation Masks to choose from, including Baby Blonde, Golden Blonde, Chic Copper, Warm Chestnut and Ash Brown. This is such a quick and easy way to extend the life of your colour at home between salon treatments with a 5–20-minute hair toner mask treatment. What Do I Do If I Have a Dry Scalp? A dry and stressed scalp can be so normal. This can be caused from using products that strip the natural oils in your hair or just simply the weather. Healthy hair starts at the scalp! It is here that each hair’s journey begins and so to provide the best environment for your hair to thrive and grow longer and stronger, it’s time to incorporate a detox treatment. Christophe Robin’s Purifying Mask with Thermal Mud draws out impurities, pollution and styling build up in a deeper way.The thermal mud sits on the scalp allowing the formula to reach the pores and lift product from strands while remineralising the scalp and softening the hair. Refer back to our previous blog for the 411 on all things Purifying Thermal mud mask! We would highly recommend the Cleansing scrub with sea salt by Christophe Robin, to cleanse, purify and restore balance to the scalp! Exfoliating the scalp detoxes it in the same way as using an exfoliation treatment on your face would - it buffs away flakiness and product build up to reveal the healthier, revitalised skin underneath.  It can also be used as a post-colour treatment to soothe tingling and itching sensations!  At Home Healthy Hair Hacks One of our number 1 tips is - Don’t brush when wet. When our hair is wet it is at its weakest state, to avoid any breakage we suggest detangling your hair PRE shower on dry hair with Ibiza hair airwave shower brush which was created to effortlessly glide through any hair. Do not brush your hair again until up to 50% dry. Then if you’re styling opt for a blonde boar bristle brush which is designed for hair to gently and naturally smooth frizz, enhance shine and preserve hair integrity.  The silk pillowcase trend was big for a reason... It works. Whilst you sleep, tossing and turning creates friction between our hair and the pillow causing tangles, split ends and breakage. Silk pillowcases dramatically reduce this friction by helping your hair to retain moisture. Cotton pillowcases absorb moisture from your hair, while silk leaves that hydration right where it belongs. That means if you suffer from dry strands or a flaky scalp, a silk pillowcase will be a lifesaver.      What Can Help My Hair In The Salon? Those dead ends need to go! Having regular haircuts and trims are super important to maximise hair health. Haircuts should be every 10-12 weeks to eliminate breakage and maintain luscious locks. A good haircut promotes better scalp circulation, helping stimulate healthier hair growth. Regular cuts and treatments can also help reduce damage from heat styling. Adding an in-salon treatment to these cuts can be a game changer!  In-salon treatments are another way to strengthen and repair colour treated hair or just to bring a show stopping shine to any hair. At Que Colour we offer a range of different treatments in the salon to keep your hair and colour super healthy. These can be for in between colour visits or when you're at your colour appointment.  One of our favourite treatments at QUE Colour is the Colour Shine. Free from ammonia, alcohol and peroxide, Sebastian Cellophanes are a “hair-friendly” colour gloss. As well as heightening the reflectivity of each strand, Cellophanes strengthen hair, preserves natural moisture balance and protects against UV. The Wella plex leave in treatment is also a lifesaver for bleached and damaged hair. It helps to repair and reconstruct damaged and dry hair with moisturising ingredients. These are both accessible, quick treatments that you can find at most hair salons! These treatments really work wonders in your hair when you have them every 6-8 weeks. And the best part is it is an affordable way to get a celebrity-worthy shine. To have beautiful vibrant locks, having healthy hair is our biggest tip, because any colour always looks better on healthy hair!
