After Hair Color Recommendations
Whether you have platinum blonde, brunette, black, red, or even blue hair, color-treated hair needs a little extra attention if you’re wanting your color to last longer. Nothing is worse than spending big bucks at your hair salon for the newest trending color and then having it fade after a week due to not taking care of your locks. Trust me: I learned the hard way. Coming from someone who has had pink, orange, red, brunette, and purple, I have had to learn a thing or two about how to take care of dyed hair. Here are my tips that I have gathered over the years and tips from a hairstylist:
After coloring wait a full 3 days to shampoo your hair.
When coloring hair, your cuticle layer is opened, making it easy for color to penetrate the hair shaft. When you wash your hair too soon after your appointment, the cuticle layer could still be open which then leads to your color being washed down the drain. It takes up to three days for the cuticle layer to fully close, so the longer you wait to shampoo your hair after you color your hair, the more time the color pigment will have to soak into the hair cuticle, which will help your color last longer in between salon visits.
Use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner.
Sodium laureth sulfate, also known as sodium laureth ether sulfate, is a type of anionic detergent that is found in many personal care products. This ingredient is used to help produce a foaming effect to your shampoos and conditioners. By using sulfates, you run the risk of stripping your hair of its natural oils and moisture, which can then lead to stripping your beautiful color-treated hair (which you just spent hours and dollars at the hair salon to achieve). Try using a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair color from fading. Whether you have frizzy, curly, straight, or even thin hair, there is a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner option for all.
Use color depositing conditioners.
A must for colored hair, I have some favorites that I can recommend. This will slightly re-dye your hair every time you wash to keep it looking fresh until your roots grow out. Using color depositing-conditioners will do wonders to keep your color vibrant at home.
Turn down water temperature when shampooing.
To prevent seeing all of your color go down the drain, try shampooing with slightly warm water and then rinse with cold water after conditioning. The warm water will allow the shampoo and conditioner to penetrate and cleanse, while the cold water will help seal in the moisture from your conditioner while preventing color from fading by sealing the hair’s cuticle.
Wash hair less often.
Washing your hair every day is something you want to avoid if wanting your hair color to last longer, especially if you have a vibrant color. Not only are you washing away the natural oils that moisturize and keep your hair color looking fresh, you also wash away a little bit of your hair dye every time you wash your hair. Try washing your hair every 2-3 days a week to keep your color on lock. You shouldn’t wash more than that unless you’re working out a lot.
