Hairwash After Coloring
After coloring your hair, you must take proper care to prevent fading and preserve the color's vibrancy. Here are some guidelines
1. Wait for at least 24-48 hours
After coloring your hair, you should wait at least 24 to 48 hours before shampooing. This enables the color to penetrate the hair cuticle completely and set.
2. Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners
When you do cleanse your hair, use shampoos and conditioners designed for color-treated hair that are color-safe.
3. Wash with cool water
4. Avoid frequent washing
Attempt to avoid bathing your hair too frequently, as excessive washing can cause color loss. Aim for laundry every two to three days or as required.
5. Use dry shampoo
On days when you don't bathe your hair, use dry shampoo to absorb excess oil and maintain your hair's appearance without removing color.
6. Limit heat styling
Heat styling tools can also contribute to color fading, so limit their use or apply a heat protectant spray prior to styling.
7. Protect your hair from the sun
Exposure to the sun's UV rays can cause color fading, so when spending time outdoors, consider donning a hat or using hair products with UV protection.
8. Deep conditioning treatments
