Hair coloring is the most trending makeover option that can make you look more appealing. But, excessive or wrong use of dye can damage your hair. If you are struggling with your damaged colored hair, then practice the following tips recommended by the experts.
1. Deep conditioning
As we all know hair color can cause dryness, so introducing moisture into your hair strands is highly essential. Go with proper deep conditioning to reduce the possibility of split ends and breakage. Deep conditioning treatment adds more elasticity to hair and provides the curl definition again. Make sure that you don’t go for more frequent deep conditioning as more often use of products may result in product build-up and unwanted hygral fatigue. Experts recommend deep conditioning once a week and applying conditioner two times a week.
2. Use moisture-loaded hair dye
To protect and repair your locks during the coloring process, use a hair dye formulated with conditioning ingredients. Consider a semi or demi-permanent formula to cover gray rather than a permanent dye because it is less harsh. When coloring your hair at home, don’t use pull-through caps as it may result in damaging color overlap. Instead of this cap, you can use a cap-less kit.
3. Get rid of split ends
Regular wear and tear, chemical treatment, poor care, and excessive heat exposure can cause split ends at the ends of hair strands. Colored hair is more prone to have split ends which if not controlled timely can continue up strands. So, trim split ends to avoid further damage. You may also consider using hair products specialized to repair damaged hair, frizziness, and split ends.
4. Avoid combing wet hair
Don’t brush your wet hair until they get 40-50% dry. Water exposure stretches the shaft of hair and results in a shingle-like outer layer to life. Applying extra pressure while brushing wet hair can cause hair breakage. So, avoid combing wet hair.
5. Dye just your roots
If possible, dye your hair roots again to reduce the chemical effect on the length. According to hair experts of the best beauty parlour in Gurgaon, considering space dyeing your hair 10-12 weeks apart is extremely helpful. Major color changes can result in hair breakage and hair loss when performed wrongly.
6. Apply heat protectant
Try to keep heat styling minimal. However, when you need to use hot styling tools, apply a heat protection serum or spray before using those tools to reduce heat exposure and avoid dryness and damaged strands. Use heat protectants containing polymers or silicones.
7. Use a small microfiber towel
Never blow-dry your wet hair or rub them with a towel hardly. Before styling your locks, make sure your hair is completely dry. Styling wet hair can cause the water inside to boil and damage strands. Air-dry your hair or wrap them in a small microfiber towel for some minutes.
8. Prevent excessive hair wash
Note that doing anything excessively always results in negative consequences. Don’t shampoo your hair multiple times a week. 1-3 times shampooing a week is good. More often shampoo-wash can strip hair off. You can co-wash (conditioner-only wash) your hair instead. This means using a single product that works as a shampoo and a conditioner for proper cleaning, nourishment, and moisturizing.
9. Regular care
Remember that just like your skin, hair also needs consistent care. Follow the above-mentioned tips regularly to make your hair looks and feel good all the time.
