Caring for your hair in between appointments
Want your hair to look and feel its best between visits?
A few small habits at home can make a big difference to the health, shine, and longevity of your colour and style.
Here’s how we recommend caring for your hair in between appointments at Ponsonby Hair.
Choose Your Products Wisely
One of the most important things you can do for your hair is use products that are suited to your hair type and condition.
As a Redken salon, we work with professional, results-driven formulas designed to strengthen, protect, and maintain your hair between visits.
Some of our go-to ranges:
Acidic Bonding Concentrate for strengthening and repairing damaged or coloured hair
All Soft for dry, brittle hair needing moisture and softness
Colour Extend Magnetics to protect and prolong colour
If you’re unsure what your hair needs, just ask, we’ll guide you.
Use A Weekly Hair Mask
Hair goes through a lot, heat styling, sun exposure, and daily wear can leave it feeling dry or depleted.
A weekly mask helps restore moisture, smooth the hair, and reduce frizz.
Our favourites:
Redken All Soft Heavy Cream Mask for deeply nourishing and softening
Acidic Bonding Concentrate Mask strengthens while adding shine and resilience
It’s also a lovely way to slow down and give your hair a little extra care. Hair drying, sun exposure and just daily life can dry out hair. We recommend you indulge in a weekly hair mask to lock in moisture, reducing frizz and dryness. Not only will hair masks help make your hair look amazing, they are a lovely treat at the end of a big day or a big week.
Use A Heat Protectant
If you’re using a hairdryer, straightener, or curling iron, heat protection is essential.
Heat can weaken the hair over time, leading to dryness and breakage. A good protectant helps shield the hair while maintaining shine and smoothness.
We love:
Redken One United Multi-Benefit Treatment a lightweight protection with multiple benefits
Redken Thermal Spray 22 is ideal for higher heat styling and hold
Visit Us For A Trim
Regular trims aren’t just about shape; they’re about keeping your hair healthy.
Removing split ends prevents further breakage and keeps your hair looking polished between visits.
For added support at home:
Redken Extreme Anti-Snap helps reduce breakage and strengthen weakened hair
Gently Does It
How you treat your hair day-to-day matters more than you might think.
A few simple changes can make a big difference:
Use a wide-tooth comb instead of brushing aggressively
Gently towel dry (microfibre towels are ideal)
Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction
Let your hair air dry when you can
For smoother, more manageable hair:
Redken Frizz Dismiss Rebel Tame helps control frizz and improve manageability
