Aveeno Pure Renewal Dry Shampoo
The easiest way to keep haircolor fresh: Shampoo as infrequently as possible. Cornstarch in
Aveeno Pure Renewal Dry Shampoo, $8, refreshes hair between washes without leaving a chalky residue.
Rickycare Carbon Rake Comb
Dry, color-treated hair is extremely fragile, especially when wet. Carefully run a wide-tooth comb, like the
Rickycare Carbon Rake Comb, $7.50, through damp hair to detangle it.
