When you step out of the salon confident, with on-point hair colour, it is like a morale booster, and you wish to carry those shiny locks forever. But giving your hair the wrong sort of care will make the hair colour look flat and dull. It will also fade away very quickly.
Do not despair, ladies. You have a control on this. We have provided tips to keep your hair colour stronger and last longer. If you do not want your beautiful hair colour to fade away so quickly, read these tips from the best hairdressers Manchester.
Stop washing your hair in hot water.
If you love hot water baths or showers, it is time you stop them because they do not do any good to your hair. Hot water lifts the hair's outer cuticle, and since this is the layer that holds the colour, your hair becomes defenceless and thus starts losing its colour. The hotter the water, the more easily the colour will fade. We suggest you wash your hair in warm water and rinse it in cold water. The cold water will seal the cuticle, thus making your hair look glossy.
Stop overwashing your hair.
Hairdressers in Manchester suggest not to wash the hair until you need it. This may seem gross, but trust us, your hair colour will last long if you do it. And make sure to wait for 24 hours before washing your hair if you have recently gotten it coloured.
Your hair absorbs water, and as your hair dries, the dye drains out with the water. Additionally, tap water contains various chemicals that interfere with how your hair takes on and keeps colour. Overwashing exposes hair to these chemicals far too often. If you're an ardent everyday washer, try to wash your hair on alternate days. Try a dry shampoo on your hair to stretch the time between washes to absorb oil and pump up volume.
Don't wash your hair with detergents.
The words may sound harsh, but hairdressers Manchester tell you that if you use a sulfate shampoo, you will probably use detergent on your hair. Most shampoos have salt, alcohol and sulfates as lathering agents. These bind the colour molecules and run them down the sink. We recommend using only sulfate-free shampoo if you have a hair colour service. These shampoos do not contain any harmful additives and are salt- and sulfate-free. We recommend you always check the ingredients of the shampoo before purchasing one.
You might be aware of the sun's damage to your skin, but the UV rays are equally damaging to your hair. The rays make the hair dry, brittle and dull. Above all, these rays break the chemical bonds in your hair, thus making your hair colour fade. Save your hair colour by trying to limit its exposure to the sun. Wear a hat or replenish your hair daily with a leave-in conditioner.
Get the right products.
If you're not using a colour-safe shampoo and conditioner on your colour-treated hair, that is one of the best places to start keeping your colour for longer. Look for shampoos and conditioners for colour-treated hair; they will be safer for your colour and help minimise fading. As a general rule that will also help you maintain your colour, shampoo should be applied on the roots only, and the conditioner should stay on the mid-through ends of the hair shaft. As mentioned earlier, avoid anything with colour-stripping sulphates or alcohol in the ingredients. Ask one of the experts in hair salon Manchester for the right product for you.
To take care of your coloured hair systems, follow these simple steps suggested by hairdressers Manchester.
