    Taking care of your hair is absolutely essential. There is nothing that can quite ruin a look like an unkept mess of a hairdo. However, sometimes in our attempts to have the best hair style, we may be inflicting more damage to our hair than we realise. Whether you frequently apply heating tools to your hair, colour your hair frequently, or both, you must be sure to pay extra attention to your hair care routine to avoid destroying your hair health. Below, we will be taking a closer look at the steps in making sure your colour treated hair remains in good health.

    Often, the main concern people face when colouring their hair is maintaining the glossy shine you have leaving the salon. Well, this all comes down to the time and care you put into taking care of your hair. Premature fading of hair dye is a serious consequence of lack of care taken. What many fail to realise is that this is easily avoidable, and it does not require major adjustments to your daily hair care routine.

    First things first, you should refrain from washing your hair too frequently. Excessive washing of your hair could strip your hair of its natural nutritional oils which could lead to plenty of disadvantages. The hair type you have will obviously determine how frequently you need to wash your hair, but one thing is for certain, you should not wash your hair every single day. This holds especially true when you have colour treated hair. If you do not want your hair colour to fade prematurely, do not wash your hair excessively. It really is as simple as that.

    Choosing the right hair products for coloured hair is essential and a decision should not be made without some advice from your salon professional. The products you use for your hair are directly influencing your hair health and if you do not make use of the correct products, you could be accelerating the process of hair damage. If you have recently bleached your hair or frequently get highlights, your hair naturally becomes more brittle because of the abrasive quality of bleach. However, with the correct professional hair products you can restore the moisture to your hair and have that salon fresh look every day.

    The same goes for hair that has been dyed darker. Whether you have decided to do a drastic change or just cover up some greys, the last thing you want is for your hair to lose its colour too soon. There are professional hair products that are specifically formulated to nourish the hair and retain as much of the applied colour for as long as possible.

    As we all know by now, making use of heating tools causes damage to your hair and could contribute to your hair colour fading prematurely. It is advised to minimise how often you expose your hair to heating tools, rather find natural hair enhancing products and embrace the beauty of your natural do! If, however, you cannot go a day without running a straightener through your hair, be sure you have a professional heat protection spray or serum that you can apply to your hair.

    Hair care may seem like an unnecessary process to some but if you spend money on getting the perfect dyed look, be sure to take those extra few minutes each day to preserve the beauty and health of your hair. You will not regret it!
