How To Maintain Color Treated Hair

Keep Your Hair Hydrated with Oils  

For many women, getting their dream color is the pinnacle of their hair goals. But it’s important to remember that sustaining the color requires time and effort. Bleaching and coloring your hair can affect the scalp’s natural oil production, which can leave your hair feeling dry. And when your hair is dry, it’s unable to hold the color effectively.  

To prevent the hair from drying out, you can give it a boost with hair oils like the Davines OI Oil. Let’s not forget that the scalp produces sebum, which keeps the hair smooth and prevents it from tangling. This explains why dry hair is prone to tangling and frizz. Using hair oils can help smoothen the hair and make it easy to manage.

Choose the Right Shampoo and Conditioner for Your Hair  

Color treated hair needs extra care since harsh shampoos that wear out the hair’s cuticle can cause the color to fade. Consequently, you’ll need more color treatments to keep it vibrant, which is damaging to your hair. That’s why a gentle shampoo like the Kevin Murphy Angel Wash can help remove impurities from the scalp without stripping it of its natural oils. It also preserves the color to ensure that your dye job looks fantastic for longer.

Similarly, you’ll need a suitable conditioner that takes care of your hair and protects it from pollutants and UV damage. The Kevin Murphy Angel Rinse is a lightweight hair conditioner that soothes and protects color-treated hair.

Use Leave-in Conditioner  

When you have color-treated hair, a moisturizing conditioner won’t cut it, you’ll need something more to make the color shine and keep your hair protected when you head out. In this case, you need a leave-in treatment that you don’t rinse out, so your hair retains its structure to ensure a moisture balance. Our beauty pros suggest a treatment like the milk_shake Leave In Conditioner to make your hair manageable and stronger.

It’s also enriched with honey and fruit extracts to give the hair a boost of shine and protection. It contains vitamin E and a patented ingredient Integrity 41 to act as a color seal that prevents the vibrant color from fading. To use a leave-in treatment, simply spray it onto washed and towel-dried hair along the lengths and ends.

 

Seal In The Color With a Hair Mask  

Damaged hair is more susceptible to fading, so it’s common for dry and brittle hair to look dull a few weeks after a color treatment. That’s why it’s important to nourish it with a rich mask that repairs and renews the hair cuticle to preserve the color. Ideally, you’ll want to invest in a hair mask that repairs the hair and doesn’t just smoothen it. That’s why hair pros often prefer the K18 Leave In Molecular Repair Hair Mask

This hair mask has a super light formula that comes out as foam thanks to the dispenser. It has an advanced peptide complex that heals the hair from damage due to heat, coloring, and bleaching. It restores your hair’s shine, bounce, and softness for a vibrant look.  

 

Limit Your Use of Heating Tools 

Color treating your hair exposes it to harsh chemicals that can damage the hair, causing it to dry out. Therefore, using heating tools can expose it to further damage. It’s best to limit your use of heating tools and let the hair return to its normal texture. But on the days when you do style your hair, make sure to protect your hair from heat damage by applying a protective serum.  Our hair pros suggest using the Kerastase Resistance Serum Therapiste to give your hair a layer of protection from high temperatures. Simply apply it to the lengths and ends of your hair before using your styling tools to make hair manageable and softer.

Conclusion 

Color-treated hair can look fantastic when it complements your facial features and personal style, but maintaining it will require some effort. Our hair pros recommend using a specific shampoo and conditioner for color-treated hair, nourishing it with a hair mask every now and then, and using a heat protectant. Of course, your specific hair color can also affect the type of products you need, so it’s best to consult our beauty pros for personalized recommendations.
