As winters set in, hair colour tends to take a beating. We’re listing down a few tips to help you take care of your coloured hair:
-
Take care of the ends - the healthier hair will contain the colour for more time, so take a trip to the salon every six weeks for a regular trim.
-
Use a conditioning treatment - coloured hair tends to be drier than usual, use a deep conditioning treatment as part of your hair care routine at least once a week. Apply to hair that has been dampened with warm water, and wrap in a towel for half an hour to give it time to be absorbed. Then Shampoo to wash the excess.
-
Limit the changes - changing the hair colour too often requires more chemicals to achieve the desired effect each time, and more chemicals means more damage to your hair. So, try to live with one look for a bit longer.
-
Rinse well - salt and chlorine can dry and damage hair, so don't forget to rinse off or shampoo after swimming, if you are at the seaside or the pool.
-
Go easy with the dryer - using dryers, curling tongs, straightener, etc. makes hair more porous and porous hair doesn't hold the colour so well. So, let it dry naturally when you can.
-
Get the right shampoo - finally, choose a shampoo designed for coloured hair and for your scalp type. A gentle shampoo will allow you to wash your hair every day.
