Hi there! I’m Ashlee McGeachy, a Senior Stylist here at Elevate. I’m truly passionate about creating beautiful hair color experiences for my clients—and that includes helping you maintain that gorgeous look at home. With years of experience and a love for all things hair, I’ve seen firsthand how the right products can make or break your results. I’m here to share my top tips and must-have products to keep your color vibrant, your hair strong, and your self-care routine elevated.
At Elevate, we’re all about making your hair color experience feel like a dream—from the salon chair to your daily routine. But here’s the thing: investing in beautiful color doesn’t stop once you leave the salon. If you’re not set up with the right products, your color might fade quickly, your strands can feel dry, and growth can stall. So let’s change that, starting now!
Imagine this: you spend good money on your hair color, but you walk out with zero guidance for maintaining it at home. Frustrating, right? You deserve better. That’s why I’m here to set you up for success with the essentials you need to keep your color vibrant, your hair strong, and your growth goals on track.
Here’s your go-to guide for post-color care, plus my favorite product recommendations that make a difference:
✨ Don't Wash for 72 Hours:Yes, you heard me! Avoid washing your hair for at least three days after your color session. I even use a bit of dry shampoo before you leave to extend that fresh look. Product pick: Neuma Dry Shampoo
✨ Color-Safe Shampoo & Conditioner:This is non-negotiable! These products are specially formulated to protect color molecules and nourish your hair. They’re gentle yet effective, preserving your color and adding moisture. Product pick: Neuma Repair Line or Reverie Balancing Shampoo & Conditioner
✨ The Holy Grail Hair Masque:For my blondes and those chasing length, a good masque is a game-changer. It delivers a boost of moisture, proteins, and lipids to strengthen hair, reducing breakage and promoting growth. Product pick: Reverie Eros Resurrection Hair Mask
✨ Leave-in Conditioner, Your Daily Bestie:Blondes and color-treated beauties, this one’s for you! Leave-in conditioner helps fill in the gaps in your hair strands, boosting strength and locking in moisture. Use it daily to keep dryness at bay. Product pick: Reverie Milk Leave-In Conditioner
✨ Hair Oil for Daily Nourishment:Did you know your scalp’s natural oils only reach about three inches of your hair? That’s why applying a good hair oil is crucial to support long, strong growth by delivering proteins and lipids where your scalp can’t. Product pick: Reverie Ever Recovery Hair Oil
✨ Order Matters—Oil After Leave-In Conditioner:Here’s why: leave-in conditioner fills the strand, locking in moisture first, so when you add oil, it won’t overwhelm your hair or cause greasiness. But remember, too much protein can make hair brittle over time, so find your balance!
