The Best Hair Tips You Need for Dyed Hair

By Ella Allan

If there's one thing many women do today, it would be coloring their hair! Hair color has become a very popular way to match their style. May it is a brunette shade to eccentric colors, the choice is up to you! But what makes colored hair different from keeping your natural hairstyle would be maintaining it. Yes, you'll need to put extra care when keeping your colored hair. Sometimes you end up forgetting to maintain your hair, having to fix your brassy hair color, since it can turn into a wrong shade if you don't maintain it right.

If you want to know how to avoid any problems with your colored hair, I show you some tips you can follow to keep your hair looking great and with colors to last.

Hair Tips to Maintain Colored Hair

There are times when you suffer from orange hair after coloring it, and you'll need to fix it. Fortunately, there are ways on how you can do so.

But to prevent the trouble, here are the top tips to maintain the beautiful tones of your hair:

1.  Keeping Hair Dry

When you dye your hair, I suggest to wash it every other day to avoid the color from washing off. On days you need to clean your body but not your hair, keep it dry with a shower cap or tying it up.

2. Shampoo and Conditioning

If you wash your hair, make sure to condition with color-protecting conditioner to make it look shiny. Also, use color-protecting shampoo to have your hair last longer. It will also preserve your hair's overall health (the dye can be harmful!).

3. Hot Oil Treatment

Another way to maintain the color and health of your color-treated hair is to do your hot oil treatment at home. Use treatment oil on dry hair then covers the oiled hair with a shower cap. Place your covered hair under heat (hot towel, blow drying, or even under the sun). Let it cool for about an hour then rinse with cold water.

4. Diet and Supplements

Your hair may suffer from the harmful chemicals of bleaches and dyes. To avoid damaging your hair further, make sure to have a healthy diet rich in iron and protein to keep the keratin on your hair strong. This helps strengthen your hair and keep it glowing.

I recommend to bulk up on lean meat, cheese, spinach, and even soy to help keep your hair healthy and let the color stay shiny.

Another tip would be to use supplements, such as B vitamins and vitamin C. This is recommended especially for people who are deficient in nutrients from their diet.

5. UV Protection

Make sure to avoid the sun, as it fades out your hair color and dehydrates your hair. Another thing you MUST avoid with your color-treated hair would be chlorine or strong hair products. Not only is this detrimental for your hair color, but it will also further damage your hair, making it lose its luster and shine.

Avoid going under the sun or swimming in pools. If you do swim, use a cap to prevent the chlorine from meeting your hair. Also, use hair products with UV protection before going out to ensure your hair is protected from the harmful rays of the sun.

6. Avoid Frequent Hair Coloring

Sure, it may be tempting to style and color your hair every few weeks, but it may damage your hair a LOT in the long run. Make sure that you avoid coloring your hair more than once every two months. Also, don't go over with chemicals while you color your hair.

If you will undergo a relaxing session, avoid doing a perm or other hair procedures that require chemicals.

7. Use QUALITY Products

From coloring your hair down to maintaining it, you'll need to make sure that you use products without too much of the harmful chemicals that will damage your hair and its color in the long run.

Invest in natural shampoos and conditioners that both hydrate and moisturize your hair to keep it healthy. Use reputable brands of hair dyes as well.

In Conclusion

No one wants to have brassy or orange hair after expecting a good shade. Fortunately, there are ways to how you can keep your colored hair looking as great as it did after dyeing it.

I hope that this article on hair tips to maintain your colored hair helped you become more knowledgeable on what you need to maintain your hair health after dyeing it. So what are you waiting for? Try these tips for yourself and enjoy your style the way you should.
