Changing one’s hair colour can be an
exhilarating (yet pricey) experience. Here, we offer you 5 great tips to better
manage your hair and prolong its vibrancy once it is colored.
TIPS FOR COLOURED HAIR #1: Do Not Wet
Your Hair for The First Two Days After Coloring
Usually, a coloring procedure is performed
by opening the cuticles to ensure that the pigmented material is absorbed well.
The opened cuticles usually take about one or two days to close. Avoiding any form
of liquids (including sweat) will enable the pigmented material toseep deep
into the hair. The outcome is colored hair for a longer period. Furthermore, your
scalp also gets adequate time to relax and recover.
It is important to note that frequent interaction
between hair and water will fade away the color sooner than the optimum time
frame as the cuticles are opened and the color leaks out.
TIPS FOR COLOURED HAIR #2: Wet Your
Hair Only After You Apply A Moisturizing Conditioner
While shampoo and water are good for
cleansing your hair and scalp by eliminating dirt and oil build-up, they have their
cons too.These elements actively work to remove our hair’s natural oils and
color pigments as well. Therefore, conditioning of hair before wetting it is
recommended since a protective sheath is formed around the newly deposited pigments.
Moreover, conditioning of hair before a shower also mitigates the friction caused
during hairwash. For optimum results, use a color depositing masque after a
shower.
TIPS FOR COLOURED HAIR #3: Always Use
Prescribed Homecare Which Is Color-Safe, Depositing or Neutralizing
As stated, homecare for colored hair
comes in three different types:
COLOUR
SAFE HOMECARE:
Typically, these products offer added
benefits like gentler than usual cleansing, protection from UV rays and provide
natural oils.These products work optimally for hair which is colored with dark
pigments that are closer to their natural hue. Moreover, people who often visit
salons for retouching of their roots will also benefit from these products.
COLOUR
NEUTRALISING HOMECARE:
These homecare productsusually contain
pigments that are tinted with purple and blue with an aim toneutralize
brassiness. The objective is not to turn the hair into these colors, but to
decrease the yellow tint of the hair color. Needless to say, this home care is
ideal for those who have colored their hair blonde or even brown (on bleached
hair).
Tip: this homecare must be left on for
about 5 to 7 minutesto see the effects
COLOUR
DEPOSITING HOMECARE:
This home care is available in varied
colors. This facilitates the deposition of color into the hair, either to
saturate the color or enhance its effect. This is ideal for those customers who
bleached their hair with an aim to use a hair color which is very different
from their hair’s natural shade, such as blue, green, etc.
Tip: this homecare must be left on for
about 7 to 10 minutes to work effectively
Homecare that is prescribed correctly can
ensure that your hair color stays on for a longer duration as it defers the
rate of fading.
TIPS FOR COLOURED HAIR #4: Apply A
Leave-In Heat Protectant to Mitigate Fading
Using heat on your hair (blow drying
or straightening)usually opens up your cuticleswhich increases the rate of
fading of your hair color. Therefore, it is imperative to apply a use a
leave-in heat protectant before styling your hair using heat. We strongly
recommend Kms Thermal Shape, 2-in-1 sprayas it works very efficiently.
TIPS FOR COLOURED HAIR #5: A Monthly
Reparative In-Salon Treatment Is Recommended
It is a well-known fact that damaged
hair is very porous and the cuticles are typically almost peeled off (which is
more common for bleached hair). This decreases the capacity of the hair to hold
color pigments in. Reparative salon-based treatments like K-gloss protect such
cuticles and internally strengthen the hair, which increases its capacity to
hold the hair color in for a longer duration. If you want your hair to lock in
the color pigments better, we urge you to opt for monthly hair treatments.
