Hair Care for Colored Hair

Short Hairstyles presents Hair Care for Colored Hair

Hair that has been color treated requires special care to maintain the new shade and prevent damage. The easiest thing you can do is switch to a shampoo and conditioner duo specially designed for color-treated hair. When you finish washing, avoid wrapping hair in a towel. This can do damage to locks that may be brittle following a color treatment.

Hair Care for Colored Hair

Skip the brush and comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb. This will prevent breakage and help you avoid split ends. If you use heated styling products, make sure you treat hair with a heat protecting spray first. Also, since color can fade in the sun, it’s a good idea to cover your hair with a hat or scarf when you are outside for a long period. If these accessories don’t suit your style, try using a color-protective leave-in conditioner. If you plan to go swimming, try spraying some purified water on your hair before you get in a chlorinated pool. This will help protect your color from the harsh chemicals in the water. Without special care, your gorgeous new color may fade too quickly, or, even worse, you could do damage to your sensitive locks.
