Color treated hair that isn't taken care of can often look dull, dry and unhealthy because the chemicals in hair dyes damages our hair. But don't panic, here are some anti-damaging hair tips to keep your color treated hair super healthy.
*Wash your hair every other day, or it will strip out the color very quickly.
*Get a shampoo and conditioner designed for color-treated hair.These products hydrate and moisturize your hair without stripping the color. Another alternative to conditioners are color enhancing conditioners.
*Use low heat setting then cool setting when blow drying. Do not blow dry the hair completely dry. If possible, let the hair dry naturally.
*Avoid brushing your hair frequently, it can fracture your hair. On wet hair, use a wide tooth comb. Wet hair is especially prone to breakage.
*Wear a hat or scarf to protect your hair from the sun. The harmful rays not only fades the color but dries your hair as well. Also, chlorine in swimming pools fades and dries your hair too. So remember to always wear a cap and rinse your hair thoroughly.
*Apply deep conditioning treatments once a week. Apply the conditioner to your hair, cover it with a plastic cap and leave it on for 30 minutes. If you have oily hair, apply every 2 weeks. If you have dry hair, you can also apply a leave-in conditioner to your hair after every shower.
*Apply hot oil treatments once a month.
*Every 2 months, get regular trims, 1/2 inch to prevent split ends.
*When it's time to retouch, there's no need to apply color to your entire head. Instead, apply color to the root. Only when it starts to fade, then go ahead and apply color to your entire head.
*If your hair is beyond help, your last hope is a short haircut. =(
