How To Keep Your Hair Colour Permanent
Advice On Hair Colouring
Before you colour your hair, it is important to ensure that you are ready for the process. After all, any type of chemical treatment can be damaging if not done properly and carefully. There are a few things that you should do before attacking your follicles with dye and chemicals:
- Do a patch test 48 hours before applying colour to your whole head. This will allow any allergic reaction or irritation to surface before it gets too late!
- Read the instructions on the box carefully so that you follow them correctly (and don’t accidentally burn yourself).
- Ask your stylist what they recommend—they know best! Some people prefer lighter shades while others prefer darker shades like reds and blues because they suit their personality better than yellowy golden blonde hues would (or vice versa). If possible try out a few different colours at home so that when it comes time for appointment day, there aren’t any surprises about which shade looks best on YOU!
How To Keep Your Hair Colour Permanent.
- Use a color protect shampoo and conditioner.
- Use a heat protector spray.
- Use a hair mask once or twice a week, for about 10 minutes (leave it in overnight for better results).
- A tinted dry shampoo is great if you want an extra boost between washes (just don’t use too much!).
- A colour depositing conditioner will add shine to your hair and help prevent further fading of the dye jobs. It works best on dark shades of colour like black or blue – they tend to fade faster than other colours due to the pigment used during manufacture. If left untreated this can mean that you end up with greeny-grey/blue patches instead of vibrant purple/red/pink etcetera! We recommend applying it after washing but before drying naturally – this way any excess moisture will evaporate without affecting application time or coverage level too much! This product is also great at protecting against further damage which could lead up until needing re-colouring again within 6 months instead of waiting longer just because we want our hair colour last longer than usual.”
7 Tips To Keep Your Hair Colour Permanent.
- Avoid using hair straighteners, curling irons and dryers.
- Be careful when washing your hair. If you have a coloured hair, always use a shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair.
- Use a heat protectant before applying any heat styling tools like blow dryers or straightening irons on your head as it will help to prevent damage to the shaft of your hair and also give protection against chemical damage from oxidation caused by UV rays when exposed to sunlight.
- Avoid washing your hair too much because it can cause colour fade away faster than usual but if this is not possible then never use hot water instead use lukewarm water so that there will be less chance of breaking down cuticle layers which are important components in keeping your colour intact long-term (make sure you’re using gentle shampoo).
Semi-Permanent And Permanent Hair Colour.
Semi-Permanent Hair Colour
Semi-permanent hair colour is great if you want to change your look on a more temporary basis. The colour lasts for around five weeks, fading gradually and evenly as it does so. You don’t need to use a developer with semi-permanent dyes – just mix them up according to the instructions before applying them like you would with any other shampoo or conditioner in your shower routine.
It doesn’t contain ammonia, which means that there are fewer harmful chemicals involved than when using permanent dye. However, this also means that it won’t last as long – so if you want something that will give your head some much-needed attention every day (and night), then this isn’t the option for you!
Extra Tip For Keeping Hair Colours Lasting Longer
Use a hair mask designed for coloured hair once a week. These masks contain natural ingredients that are great for your scalp and will keep the colour in longer.
If you want to use a dry shampoo, make sure it is designed for coloured hair as some of them can cause fading. A good alternative is to use baby powder on your roots as this will absorb excess oil whilst also giving it a nice matte finish – perfect if you are going out somewhere!
Take extra care and attention after you’ve applied your hair dye by using products that are designed for coloured hair.
Use products that are designed for coloured hair in the shower. If you want to keep your colour looking fresh and vibrant, it’s important to take care of your locks after each dye job. The best way to do this is by using products that are specifically made for coloured hair.
Avoiding the sun. Because sunlight can cause fading, use a product containing UV protection when going outside in the sun or on days where you’ll be spending time outside (i.e., at the beach). You may also want to consider wearing a hat or other headgear if possible; anything that protects your scalp from direct exposure to sunlight will help prevent fading as well as other harmful effects of UV rays like sunburns and skin cancer development.
Keeping hydrated throughout summer months makes sure that there’s enough moisture present within strands so they stay healthy looking all year round – even during winter!
