Avoiding Hair Color No-no’s!

Isn’t it nice to add color to those huge curls or a dip of color to that silky straight hair this spring season? No matter how often you change your hair color or have any treatment, it is best to keep your hair safe from damage and maintain its natural look on you.

• Hair dye strand test- hair color is an invasive chemical and can damage your hair without proper application and preparations. The purpose of the hair strand test is to provide a sample result and is done by spreading the dye on a small, back portion of your hair. Waiting for 24 hours till the results come out. This strand test is also best to test whether your skin or you are allergic to the chemicals of your hair color.

• Pre-hair color prep- keeping everything out of the scene will result to a fresh and a natural look after your hair color treatment. It is best to do thorough shampooing and conditioning; however, it is highly recommended that you do such 24 hours before the treatment to make sure that your hair is dry to ensure that the hair dye can soak into your strands. Another tip is to keep your hair strands tangle-free before applying the hair dye for best hair color results.

• Actual application- now that you are in the actual process, it is best to keep your hair color in place and free from oils and remnants of other styling products. In this case, it is advised that you wash your hair with mild conditioning shampoo and repeat the steps. Hair color can be a sensitive procedure for brittle hair, it is best to make sure that you avoid overexposure to the chemicals or else your hair color will come out bright and dry.

• Washing- hair color is the best change you can do to your hair aside from your haircut. Maintaining your hair color after application is the most difficult part. After application, make sure to wash your hair thoroughly with mild conditioning shampoo and let the water run through your strands until it turns out clear. Applying intensive conditioners will help keep your hair strands smooth and silky even after the treatment. It is important for you to remember NOT to wash your hair with hot water.

Now you can enjoy vibrant hair color without worrying about dryness and dullness after all treatments. Visit your hair salon today and get that whip of color perfectly on your crowning glory.
