Take Care Of Your Coloured Hair
Hair Care
oi-Sruthi Appu

Hair is one of the key factors that adds on to a woman's beauty, so while you try different things on it, it's better to be really careful because if care is not taken before and after colouring the hair then it can result in hair fall, rough hair, lose of natural hair colour etc.
Here are some tips on how to care before and after colouring your hair.
Pre – Colouring Hair Care :
- Get rid of your split - ends before going for hair colouring. Trimmed hair makes colouring easy and at the same time enhances the look of the hair.
- Stay away from using harsh chemicals on your hair before you colour it. Don't go for hair straightening or get a perm until you colour it. It is advised not to expose your hair to these things at least for two weeks before colouring.
- Get a right hair conditioning done before coluring your hair. Shampoo your hair at least four days prior to colouring. This allows the natural oil produced in your scalp to coat your hair. The benefit is that after you colour the hair it will set and give a better look.
- It is suggested to apply a pack of mayyonise and egg whites in equal quantity on your hair. The pack should be left for 10 minutes and after that rinsed off thoroughly until the hair is smooth to touch. This should be done two days before conditioning.
Post – Colouring Hair Care :
- After the hair colouring is done, don't use general shampoos. There are Shampoos which are specially made for coloured hair. These shampoos retain your hair moisture and it also helps the hair colour to last long.
- Make sure that you apply hair mask once in a week after colouring. Opt for a liable brand of hair masks, there are lots of hair masks available in the market, so don't get cheated.
- At least twice a week follow a hair regime, which includes oiling, washing and conditioning. This will gift you a clean and moistured hair.
- It's advised to dry your hair the natural way and not to blow dry. If you want to dry it using a drier then use the cool setting.
- Coloured hair is prone to breakage. So never comb it when it's wet, slowly tangle – free the hair with your hand and use a wide - toothed comb to brush it.
- Though this step would sound time consuming, it's advised to follow this for a healthy coloured hair. Use only filtered water to wash your hair, because tap water may contain chemicals that would damage and will fade out your hair colour.
- Use leave – in conditioners for your hair. The sunscreen content of these conditioners will protect your hair from harsh ultra violet rays.
- After colouring avoid swimming for at least 2 – 3 weeks as chlorine can damage your hair colour. If you are someone who can't do without swimming then make sure that you use swimming caps and condition your hair before you get into the pool.
