How Can You Maintain
Your Colored Hair
Before studying about
hair coloring and its maintenance in detail lets have a quick look about
how are colors formed. The 3 primary colors - red, blue and green make
other secondary colors like orange, yellow, purple etc. The color
applied penetrates inside the shaft of the hair which causes the hair to
change its color.
The Colour Red
Red is one such color
which takes the longest time to fade away. Even blue takes pretty long
time to leave the hair. When these colors are in the fading stage, the
hair can change colors to not very happening shades of red, and even
orange and not very pretty shades of pink.
Reds look amazing on the
right kind of skin tone but if its done by someone who is of a dark
complexion, the color will look like s if it was a blunder. Reds which
have copper content fade away the fastest and tend to become yellow
before fading. Blondes look white before fading. There are many other
reasons which can cause the hair color to change like pollution, direct
sun rays, salt or hard water contains minerals which can make the hair
look dry.
Here are some tips to
maintain your hair color:
Try using shampoos which
are free off sulphate. It is a very good hair cleanser but it can also
strip the hair color recently applied.
If you work outside in
the sun then use hair products which contain sun screen in them. Try
using products which does not contain alcohol. This tip is very
ineffective cause all good hair based products use alcohol otherwise the
hair takes a very long time to dry which can spoil the hair style.
Don’t leave your
conditioner just try to avoid the hair creams and gloss as much as
possible. Try washing you hair with cool water rather than hot water as
hot water will also cause the hair color to fade away.
Don’t shampoo your hair
everyday. Rinse them only when required or twice a week. Use a leave in
conditioner on wet hair before getting into the pool. This conditioner
will protect the hair and absorb less chlorine. After getting out of the
pool, wash your hair before they get dried by themselves. If your house
has pipelines of well water or hard water then make it a point to use
fresh water just for the hair.
Use a hair cover while
going for a tan or lying on the tanning bed.To bring back lost color try
using color depositing conditioners and shampoos.
Use ammonia free and
peroxide free semi permanent hair color rinses.
Today there are a number
of styling and hair strengthening products which can save hair color
from fading away and also protect hair fall and damage. These products
also add shine and bounce to the hair. You can find these products at
salons or sometimes in shopping malls. With these products you can give
your hair that fresh and vibrant look that it craves to have.
