Why “color sealing” matters more than you think
When you color your hair, the cuticles open up—that’s how pigment gets inside. Here’s the catch: when the cuticle stays lifted, color fades, shine dulls, and softness disappears.
Color sealing hair treatment is basically the reset button. It closes things back down, balances pH, and lays a smooth shield over the surface. The result? Your shade lasts longer, feels richer, and hair stays more cooperative.
At salons, there’s a professional Color Sealing Treatment stylists use right after dye. At home, you can get close with the right mix of color-safe shampoo, toning care, and moisture boosters—all simple steps, nothing complicated.
Your Step-by-Step Routine
Step 1: Don’t Rush the First Wash
After coloring, give your hair two to three days to settle. That pause lets pigments lock in place. When it’s finally time to wash, skip the harsh stuff. Reach for a color-safe, low-pH shampoo & conditioner color sealing treatment like the Shield Duo—gentle cleansing plus built-in UV protection (a quiet hero under Saudi sun).
Step 2: Tone When You Need It
Blonde Highlights:
- Silver Bombshell Shampoo (once or twice a week) to remove brass. Watch in the mirror—rinse when the tone feels right.
- Ultra Blonde Bombshell Masque (weekly) — a pigmented mask that doubles as deep moisture. Think of it as your color’s weekly “glow-up.”
- Leave-In Bombshell Cream — use on damp hair for softness and a soft toning effect between washes.
Brunettes & Darker Tones:
Honestly, you don’t need much. Stick to a gentle, color-safe shampoo, and once a week give your hair a conditioning mask. This routine is enough to keep your shade vibrant and shiny.
Step 3: Guard Against Heat
Flat irons, curlers, even blow-dryers—they can fade color just as fast as the sun. Always layer in a heat protectant first. Then, after styling, apply a little leave-in or serum to keep the finish glossy, not frazzled.
Step 4: Sun & Outdoors
Saudi days are bright. UV rays fade color whether you notice it or not. Haircare products in ksa with UV/UVA protection (like GK Hair’s Shield shampoo) are your daily buffer. On longer days out, a hat or scarf adds an extra layer of protection without any extra effort.
Step 5: Weekly Reset
Rotate in a deep moisturizing mask once a week. This isn’t just pampering—hydrated hair holds onto pigment better. If you’re blonde, make your reset the Ultra Blonde Masque. If your hair is darker, a good deep conditioner will do the trick just as well.
How Much Product to Use (and yes, too much can ruin it)
- Shield Shampoo & Conditioner: Think pea-sized, not handfuls. Add a little more only if your hair is really long. It’s color sealing treatment in a way.
- Conditioner tip: Always from mid-lengths to ends—roots don’t need the extra weight.
- Silver Bombshell Shampoo: Go light. Purple pigments are strong, and a little goes a long way.
- Ultra Blonde Bombshell Masque: Start small—three minutes. If your hair feels like it wants more, stretch it up to ten.
- Leave-In Bombshell Cream: One or two pumps on damp hair is enough.
Tip: Warm the product in your hands first, run it through the middle to the ends, and then smooth whatever’s left over the top. Just enough to tame flyaways—no greasy finish.
Note by Hair Type
- Straight & fine: Easy does it. A drop too much, and the roots fall flat.
- Wavy: Scrunch your leave-in or cream into damp hair, then let it sit. Allow the waves to shape themselves.
- Curly/Coily: Layer in steps—leave-in first, serum after, and curl cream or gel on top. And if you’re toning, spread it carefully so the color looks even everywhere.
Common Slip-Ups (and Quick Fixes)
- Washing Right Away: Don’t! Give your new color two to three days before the first shampoo.
- Using Any Old Shampoo: Most strip color fast. Low-pH, color-safe is the way to go.
- Going Overboard With Purple: only when brass shows, and always follow up with moisture.
- Forgetting the Sun: UV fades color quietly, even through a window. A product with UV protectant keeps the shade steady.

Wrap Up
Keratin color sealing treatment isn’t about adding dozens of products; it’s about timing and small, smart choices.
