Preparing hair for coloring: secrets of care and the right choice

Issues of care for colored hair require special attention and the right approach. Dyed curls require complex care, including nutrition, moisturizing and support for the new color. What products and procedures will help you prepare your hair for coloring and maintain a bright and durable color?

First of all, it is recommended to use specialized care products marked "for colored hair". They combine moisturizing and nourishing components, preserving cosmetic pigment and preventing color loss. Also effective are products with extracts of herbs and plants with antioxidant properties, especially important for hair after chemical exposure.

When using permanent dyes, both with and without ammonia, it is recommended not more than 3-4 times a week. Coloring the roots and toning the lengths avoids oversaturation and darkening of the color. Natural dyes, with toning effect, can be used more often - once every 10-12 hair washing procedures.

It is not recommended to carry out coloring and bleaching, if the scalp is damaged or irritated, and the hair is weakened by chemical exposure. In such cases, do an intensive hair restoration beforehand.

The myth that on dirty hair dye lays down better, has no basis. Permanent dye acts on the inner layers of the hair, not just on the cuticle. However, if an ammonia dye is used, the procedure is best done on unwashed hair so that the natural greasy film of the scalp acts as a protective barrier.

Avoid using conditioners and balms 2-3 days before coloring. Ammonia helps open hair scales, making it easier for pigment to penetrate. Conditioners close the scales, which can make coloring more difficult.

Following these recommendations will help you not only to prepare your hair for coloring, but also to keep a bright and durable color, emphasizing your natural beauty. Be always beautiful, ladies!
