How to care for opal hair As with all color-treated hair, the effort doesn't end with the coloring process. To ensure that your opal hair color stays brilliant, switch out your regular shampoo and conditioner with sulfate-free versions and wash your locks as minimally as possible to prevent color fade. Beyond your shampoo and conditioner, Pickthorn reminds us that beneath all the opal magnificence lies a lightened or bleached base, which means you will want to give your strands a little extra TLC at least once a week. Not sure where to start? She recommends using The Science of Ten Masque by Alterna or Masque Quintessence by Leonor Greyl.
"The biggest part is really staying on a regular schedule with your stylist," Gregory says. "He (or she) will be able to help you keep your hair looking and feeling its best."
