There's nothing like a salon-fresh hair color. Your strands are vibrant, shiny, and at their softest. But, just like the sequal of your favorite film, a new hair color can quickly take a left turn. Instead of dealing with dry, brittle, dull strands until your next appointment with your colorist, revive your over-styled shade with a weekly mask treatment. The following eight masks nourish and protect colored hair so that your strands always look like you just left the salon chair.

The shine level of just stepped out of the salon hair color is unparalleled, but this mask is the next best thing when you're trying to stretch out your color appointment. Use it on fine strands once a week, or in lieu of your go-to conditioner on thick hair to restore a natural, glossy finish.

Don't tell John Snow, but winter is over. During the summer, styling tools aren't the only way heat can screw with your hair color. UV/UVB rays from the sun can also cause a new shade to fade. To shield your hair, slather on a mask after you shampoo that seals in color, moisture, and protects against oxidative damage.

While it's said that blonds may have more fun, preserving a light, bright hair shade is no one's idea of a good time. Infused with almond butter and buriti oil, Christophe Robin's rich cream neutralizes brassy tones and keeps hair glossy.

This mask may smell good enough to eat—but we don't recommend it. Wild mango butter, watermelon extract, and edelweiss flower extract work together to condition and strengthen processed, color-treated strands.
