How to Keep Your Hair Healthy Between Salon Appointments | Cabello Salon

Whether you're visiting us from Westshore, Colwood, or Bear Mountain, we know you want to keep that just-stepped-out-of-the-salon feeling going strong. At Cabello Salon, we’re here to help your hair stay vibrant, healthy, and full of life between visits.

Here are our top stylist-approved tips to maintain gorgeous hair until your next appointment:

🧼 1. Use Professional Products (We’ve Got You Covered!)

The right products make all the difference. At Cabello, we proudly carry Kevin Murphy and Bumble and bumble—two of the top professional hair care lines known for their performance and ingredients. Whether you need moisture, volume, repair, or frizz control, we’ll help match you with the best shampoo, conditioner, and styling products for your unique hair type.

Client Favorite: Kevin Murphy Hydrate-Me.Wash is a must for dry or coarse hair, and Bumble and bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil keeps frizz at bay while protecting against heat.

💧 2. Treat Your Hair to Weekly Deep Conditioning

A once-a-week deep conditioner or mask will replenish moisture and prevent breakage—especially after color treatments or time in the sun. We love recommending Kevin Murphy Young.Again Masque for intense repair or Bumble and bumble While You Sleep Damage Repair Masque for overnight hydration.

Tip: If you’re from around the Glen Lake or Happy Valley area and love being out in nature, deep conditioning helps combat dryness from the elements!

🔥 3. Always Use Heat Protection

Hot tools like flat irons and curling wands can do major damage if you’re not careful. Before styling, use a heat protectant like Kevin Murphy Heated.Defense or Bumble and bumble Invisible Oil Primer to shield your strands and prevent split ends.

Want to skip the heat altogether? Embrace heatless styles like braids or buns on your off days.

✂️ 4. Don’t Skip Your Trims

Even if you're growing your hair, regular trims (every 6–8 weeks) keep your ends healthy and your style fresh. If you live in Royal Bay or Millstream and it’s been a while since your last cut, swing by for a quick refresh—we’ll help you avoid split ends and keep your hair looking its best.

😴 5. Sleep on Silk

A simple way to protect your hair overnight: switch to a silk or satin pillowcase. It reduces friction, which means less frizz and breakage. If you have textured or curly hair, consider wrapping your hair in a silk scarf before bed.

🌊 6. Protect Your Hair from Sun, Salt, and Chlorine

Spending time at Thetis Lake, Esquimalt Lagoon, or the local pools this summer? Saltwater, chlorine, and UV rays can be tough on your hair. Rinse your hair before and after swimming, and apply a leave-in treatment like Bumble and bumble UV Protective Primer to keep your strands safe and hydrated.
