Aftercare for Coloured Hair

Hair Colouring is more than just a fashion fad. It is a unique fashion statement personifying your individual style. Having a great hair colour makes you stand out in a crowd, but maintaining it requires a daily taskmaster. Following some basic tips on how to maintain your hair colour will ensure that the colouring is maintained for a longer time.

Precaution before Coloring  

Most hair colours use alkaline products which lift the cuticle of your hair and allow the colour to seep in deeper, ensuring a natural shine. But this also causes the hair to be more porous and lose moisture, which in turn makes it dry and subject to easy breakage. Primarily do not opt for any hair treatments like rebonding or permanent hair straightening right before your hair colouring session. Leave at least a gap of two weeks between them.

Post Coloring Hair Care  

Bear in mind that you need to opt for a shampoo and conditioner suited for colored hair. Try out product range from Sunsilk Sun Kissed Colour Therapy for colored hair. The Sun Kissed Colour Therapy Shampoo seals the cuticles of your hair, in the process strengthening it from the roots. This helps your hair colour to seep in deeper and provide a luminous shine. The Sunsilk Sun Kissed Colour Therapy Conditioner has a light fragrance and deepens your hair colour, in the process leaving it soft and shiny. A combination of the Sunsilk Sun Kissed Colour Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner rehydrates your hair and is ideal for coloured hair. Do not comb wet coloured hair as it would lead to easy breakage. Instead allow it to dry naturally. Avoid blow drying your hair using the hot setting as this would dry your hair further making it brittle. If you are of the habit of blow drying or hair straightening each time you go out, be sure to use a Heat Protectant Spray. Try out the Sunsilk Heat Protectant Spray. This is a water based product, hence it adds the extra moisture that coloured hair requires. This ensures your hair style remains for a longer period of time in addition to providing that extra supplely and bounce. A hair mask is recommended at least once in two weeks to lock in the colour. Hair colouring is a beauty enhancer but leaves your hair and body dehydrated. Replenish your system with adequate amount of water and fruit juices; and you will notice the shine of healthy coloured hair.
