3. Garnier Fructis Instant Melting Conditioner

Garnier Fructis Instant Melting Conditioner I can't stress enough how important it is to keep your rainbow hair hydrated with a deep condition you know you can trust... like this one!

4. Kerastase Masque CHROMA RICHE

Kerastase Masque CHROMA RICHE If there's a twice-weekly masque for color-treated hair that's better at keeping damage at bay, I haven't tried it. It smells so good, too!

5. Josie Maran Argan Oil Hair Serum

Josie Maran Argan Oil Hair Serum sephora.com
This is my all-time favorite hair product, and it's ideal for rainbow hair or any other hair that's dry or under stress. Rub a few drops into you palms, then smooth your hair, paying special attention to your ends. It's also great for taming those little hairs along your part that want to stick up!

6. Living Proof Restore Instant Protection Spray

Living Proof Restore Instant Protection Spray sephora.com
If you love your rainbow hair and your flat iron, you'll want to consider using this light-weight but ultra-protective-against-heat-damage spray.

7. Verb Ghost Oil

Verb Ghost Oil sephora.com
While some styling products can mess with your brilliant rainbow hair, this one won't. It also helps prevent frizz, which is nice for those days when you let your hair air-dry and don't use your flat iron.

And here's an extra tip to help keep your rainbow-hued hair vibrant a bit longer: use cool water to shampoo and rinse! Do you have any other tips or products for rainbow hair?

Hey Alyx what band do you sing in? I saw your about section. :-)

@brittany no it's fine on uncolored hair :) the oil will penetrate deep and work well. But rainbow hair colors are basically just coating the hair, so oils can go underneath the color and cause the color to fade a lot quicker.

I don't have rainbow hair just natural brunette, anyways I spray oil on my hair when it's wet and let it air dry, does oil on natural hair cause any issues or just rainbow hair??

As someone who has had rainbow hair for ten years, don't use any shampoo with oils. Oils are great on DRY hair. But when it's wet, it can go underneath the color and cause it to fade.

I really need to use some of the products... Great list.
