Anyone who colors their hair knows that it can be confused.Here are the details on everything you need to know on getting the best color, maintaining it, and not losing half.
Drugstore hair dye will only reflect the color on the box if you have virgin (aka never-before-dyed) hair AND if your hair is lighter than the color dye you’re going to use. People should remember that these are permanent colors; they lift the hair’s natural color and deposit color at the same time.
If you’re re-dyeing your hair, don’t put the dye on the ends of your hair.
When you’re not pulling dye through the ends, use a gloss in a slightly lighter shade to add shine and consistency. Find a similar or slightly lighter shade in a gloss and use that instead. This will add the shine, color, and consistency you need without further damaging our ends.
If you’ve got green tones from old color or chlorine, try a pink shampoo. Use Bleach pink shampoo and conditioner to eliminate green tones in the hair caused by old color processes, product buildup, or chlorine. Pink helps neutralize green.
Use a sulfate-free shampoo.
Sulfate-free shampoo will extend the life of permanent hair color as it is gentle and will not strip it out like a harsher detergent-based shampoo.
When you are styling your hair — especially if you have temporary color — make sure to use a heat protecting spray or product. A good heat protector is key when heat-styling hair, and retaining temporary color. Temporary color fades as you wash it but also through heat styling.
Blondes should do a moisturizing and nourishing mask treatment at home once a week. Also, blondes should use a silver shampoo once or twice a week.
Get a shower filter.
