→ heat protectant for coloured hair, safe blow-dry routine, protect dyed hair from heat
Whether you're a daily straightener, weekly curler, or obsessed with a sleek blowout, heat styling is a major culprit behind dryness, damage, and colour fade — especially for coloured or chemically treated hair. If you've ever noticed your once-glossy colour turning brassy or your ends feeling dry and split, chances are your styling routine needs a heat-protection upgrade.
Thankfully, Colour Wow — available at Shelley and Co — offers salon-trusted formulas that shield your strands without the heavy residue or dull finish of traditional heat protectants. Here's how to build a safe, colour-friendly blow-dry routine using three powerhouse products: Dream Coat, Dream Cocktail, and Color Security Conditioner.
🌈 Step 1: Start With the Right Conditioner
✨ Colour Wow Color Security Conditioner (For Fine or Normal Hair)
Keywords: colour-safe conditioner, sulphate-free conditioner, protect dyed hair from heat
Heat styling already puts your hair under stress—don’t let your conditioner add to the damage. The Colour Wow Color Security Conditioner is 100% free from typical haircare nasties like silicones, sulphates, and conditioning agents that can darken colour or weigh hair down.
💡 It leaves your hair smooth, hydrated, and detangled—without forming a barrier that prevents heat protectants from working properly.
How to use:
Apply after shampooing and rinse thoroughly. It’s the ideal primer to ensure your heat-protecting stylers absorb evenly.
🔥 Step 2: Custom-Treat Your Hair with a Dream Cocktail
✨ Color Wow Dream Cocktail (Choose Based on Hair Need)
Keywords: heat protectant for coloured hair, protect hair from styling tools, hair repair for heat damage
Dream Cocktails are leave-in heat-activated treatments that target hair weakness at the core. Each formula helps prevent breakage, smooth frizz, and lock in hydration—all while guarding against thermal damage.
Pick your Dream Cocktail:
-
💪 Carb-Infused (for fine or limp hair): Adds fullness and thickness strand-by-strand.
-
🥥 Coconut-Infused (for dry hair): Restores silky softness and strengthens hair’s lipid layer.
-
🧬 Kale-Infused (for fragile or damaged hair): Boosts elasticity and fortifies hair with amino acids.
How to use:
Towel-dry hair and apply a few pumps of your chosen Dream Cocktail from roots to ends. Comb through. No rinsing. This is your first layer of heat defence and hair repair.
☁️ Step 3: Lock It Down with the Iconic Dream Coat
✨ Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray
Keywords: humidity-proof hair, glass hair spray, best heat protectant for coloured hair
This is the product that changed the heat styling game. Dream Coat is not your average heat protectant. It’s a waterproofing treatment activated by heat that compresses each strand with a lightweight polymer shield, delivering the viral “glass hair” finish.
Why it's so loved:
-
Repels humidity and blocks frizz for days.
-
Makes colour-treated hair look freshly glossed.
-
Won’t build up or weigh hair down (even on fine hair).
How to use:
Apply to damp, towel-dried hair (don’t use other styling products before applying). Section your hair and spray generously and evenly. Activate with blow-drying + tension—this is key! The results last through 3–4 shampoos.
💡 Pro Blow-Dry Tips for Coloured Hair
-
Always use medium heat when possible to avoid scorching colour molecules.
-
Use a round brush to smooth strands and seal the cuticle for extra shine.
-
Apply Dream Coat first, followed by a light layer of Dream Cocktail if layering both.
