So we’ve talked a bit about how fresh, colour-saturated hair is our #1 beauty must.  And that’s all fine and good for the first little while, right?  Until it isn’t.

Both salon and home hair colour start to fade with exposure to sun and water, especially during the first two weeks.  As the pigments rinse down the drain, it kind of takes your happy hair feelings with it, doesn’t it?  You don’t need to crack open a new box of colour to recapture your look.  No—all you need to do is reboot it.

I’m not talking misbehaving computers here (though a new Mac come my birthday would not exactly be refused), but a recharge of your hair dye with a super simple, super quick product that now comes free with every single box of Clairol Natural Instincts:  Week 2 Color Refresher.  It’s a crème formula that helps top up your lost colour pigments 14 days after colouring.

Best of all, you don’t need to call Geek Squad for this fix.  Just hop in the shower, shampoo your hair normally, slip on the extra set of gloves from your Natural Instincts box, open the packet of Color Refresher, and distribute uniformly through your hair.  Leave it on for 5 minutes and then rinse out.  There’s no need to follow up with conditioner—just leave the shower with a colour and shine boost!

Et voilà, happy feelings are back again.  What’s your beauty perk-me-up?
