We all know that feeling when your hair colour needs a refresh – but you don’t quite have time for another full colour appointment. We took a moment with our creative and education director, Newton Cook, to share his professional secrets for keeping your hair looking vibrant, shiny and Instagram-worthy between your global colour services.
Hair Colour Refresh Solutions
When your colour starts looking a little lacklustre (hello, seasonal dullness), there are smart, time-efficient options that won’t break the bank or your schedule.
The ‘Revive Royale’ T-Section Refresh
This genius service targets only what people notice – your part and hairline, for maximum impact with minimal effort.
“I normally recommend this every 3 to 4 weeks in between your global colour service,” Newton explains. “It’s perfect if you work in a professional setting or your hair grows fast, and you hate seeing roots come through. It’s also quicker and more economical than a full colour, so it’s good for when you don’t have heaps of time.”
Consider this your hair’s equivalent of a quick facial when you can’t commit to a total spa treatment.
The Toner Service Glossing Treatment
When your hair colour still has life but needs that extra polish, a glossing treatment works wonders.
Newton notes, “A glossing Toner Service is great for refreshing colours that have faded and for adding shine and depth back into darker tones. It’s like a topcoat for your hair colour, bringing it back to life.”
Think of it as the hair equivalent of that filter you love – instant luminosity without the full commitment.
Partial Highlights Service for Blondes
If you’re rocking blonde hair, here’s a tip that will help save you time and money. Newton shares: “If you’re blonde, sometimes all you need is to book in for a partial highlights service to refresh your money-piece or pop in a few halo highlights around the hairline. It keeps that brightness around your face, so you don’t feel dark or flat while the rest of your blonde grows out.”
This focused approach delivers that frame-your-face brightness that keeps your whole look fresh. It’s a small change with a seriously major impact.
At-Home Hair Colour Extending
Your at-home product lineup is equally crucial for maintaining that salon-fresh look. These aren’t flash-in-the-pan products that pop up on social feeds – they’re the stylist-proven, science-backed formulas worth investing in:
KÉRASTASE CHROMA ABSOLU BAIN CHROMA RESPECT REGIMEN This luxury system doesn’t just clean—it actively protects colour from fading while nourishing and transforming your hair’s surface for a more brilliant shine. The technology helps reduce hair porosity, meaning your colour stays locked in for weeks longer.
REDKEN COLOR EXTEND MAGNETICS SULPHATE-FREE SHAMPOO This gentle cleanser enhances colour vibrancy without stripping, making it ideal for daily use between salon visits.
NEW REDKEN ACIDIC COLOR GLOSS COLLECTION This revolutionary system works at the molecular level; it seals in colour while enhancing natural luminosity from within. It’s like having a mini-gloss treatment in your shower.
“The little services in between your usual appointments and the care you take at home can help keep your hair and colour looking on point without needing a full session every time,” Newton shares.
Bonus Tip: Don’t forget to register your details for Rodney Wayne Rewards on your next salon visit or Shampoo ‘n’ Things store trip. Those points add up to exclusive benefits that your future self (and hair) will thank you for.
