Looking for ways to keep your colored hair vibrant and healthy? Know that there are a few things you should keep in mind when caring for colored hair:
Always tell your colorist if you have had any of the following applied to your hair:
- A perm,
- Japanese or Brazilian relaxers,
- Any anti-curl treatments,
- or color that washes out in six washes
Be honest to your colorist about any chemical used within the last 3 years on your hair. This is how you ensure bad chemical reactions WILL NOT happen. Any type of chemical that you might have used in the passed 3 years matters to the outcome of your hair. Our hair takes a lot of abuse between the curling and flat irons, blow-drying and styling - which I think are more harmful to the hair than actual color, and when combined cause extra damage (I know this from my own personal experiences). To keep your hair in the best shape it can be, do a deep conditioning treatment once or twice a week, and get a professional treatment every time you color. Ask specifically for a treatment, as this will not change your color at all, it will only help it last longer. Healthy hair holds color in! Also, whenever using a blow-dryer or anything with heat (i.e. hot rollers, flat irons, ect.), always apply a product that has heat protection in it before using any tools. The product acts like a shield, as the intense heat will burn the product before your hair - they really do make a difference and will save the integrity of your hair.
