How Should I Care for My Highlights at Home?
Aveda’s Color Renewal shampoo and conditioner help maintain tone between visits. For lightened hair, Nutriplenish or Botanical Repair home care supports moisture and strength. Your colorist will make specific recommendations at the end of your appointment.
