How to care for coloured hair

All of us are fond of coloured hair. But post-colour hair care is also important. Follow these tips, then go for that long desired colour treatment done

Deep condition your hair

Make sure you keep your hair well-conditioned by using either post-hairwash conditioner, a leave-in conditioner, serum or a hair mask. It is very important to maintain the moisture balance in your hair, especially after treating it with colour. A homemade mask, made of either mayonnaise or honey, will help replenish the hair's lost moisture. Similarly, hair masks that include ingredients like jojoba, aloe, etc, are beneficial. 

Avoid hair styling products

Coloured hair is known to get dry after a while, if you fail to moisturise it properly. It aggravates with blow drying and use of hair styling products like straighteners and curlers. They make your scalp flaky, which attracts dandruff. Also, make sure you leave your hair to dry, naturally.

Use colour protection shampoo

There are special products designed for colour-treated hair and they help prevent the colour from fading out. Also, avoid hot water hair wash, use only cold water.

Oil your hair often

Always remember what your mom said, oil your hair ever day. Oil is the best thing for your hair. It not only provides nourishment, but also helps moisturise your hair and scalp.
