Do you have 99 problems and all of them are rooted in your waning and ever damaged hair?
Owing to changing climatic conditions and the always glaring sun, our hair pigments are being disastrously affected. Not only are white hair in young adults more common now than they have ever been, but maintaining dyed hair too has become a terribly tedious task. With such evolving times, we are here to give you a few tips on how you can color protect your hair and keep your dyed locks for longer:
Tip#1: Less H20 Interaction
Yep, that’s right. Water is crucial in playing a role in fast fading dyed pigmentations. H2O has a polar impact on your hair color, seeping into the follicles and easing out the dye.
With regards to H20 interaction, excessive shampoo is another product you should avoid. The chemicals that make up your shampoo are harsh and have a lasting impact on your hair dye. Easing away the dye, after you get your color treatment done, maybe stave off shampooing your hair for a while.
Tip#2: Read the Instruction Manual Correctly Carefully
It is important that you mix the dye formula correctly so as to avoid harming your hair. Read the instruction manual carefully, know what chemicals you are applying to your hair and research on the side effects of them. Mixing the dye formula correctly is an important part of the dyeing process so make sure you’re vigilant with the job. Or, you could always have someone else do this for you!
Tip#3: Shield yourself from the sun
Make scarves and hats your new best buddies because it’s about time we gave our hair a break from the sun’s relentless glare. The sun and the fading ozone layer plays a significant role in your whitening hair. Your hair is significantly affected by the amount of vitamin D it is subjected to on a regular basis. Give your hair a break and use some protective gear for a while. Extended UV exposure is deleterious for your hair, causing the hair proteins to self-destruct and making your hair lose their physical strength and acquiring an overall damaged look.
Similar to how one protects their face from the sun, you can take similar measures to protect your hair. Sadly, unlike as is possible for your face, there are no sun blocks that you can lather onto your hair to protect them. The most common steps that you can take include watching what time you step out of your house. Late in the evening and early in the morning, try to avoid that sun by carefully timing your outdoor visits.
Tip#4: Use Conditioners That Match Your Hair Type
Hair conditioners are a modern miracle for human hair. From being a crucial aspect of the CG method to protecting your hair and keeping them smooth and shiny, conditioners help condition your hair to their best and most natural self. From keeping them soft to voluminous, conditioners are also a good solution to hair damaged by the sun. Keeping the roughness at bay, conditioners coupled with color protect shampoos are remedial on varying levels.
