5 haircare tips for coloured hair HAIR By femina

Whether you decided to DIY your hair colour or go for a pretty balayage in the salon, we have a few commandments that you should follow to ensure your colour stays its gorgeous best and lasts really long.

Tip #1If you have been staying away from hair colour for the fear of damage, choose a colour that gives you fabulous results without harming your hair. Excellence Crème from L’Oreal Paris is loved by millions of women worldwide for the simple fact that it’s a colour that cares before, during and after the colouring process - making it the World’s No 1 hair colour. It’s the only hair colour in the market which comes with a pre-colour treatment serum that forms a protective layer on the hair and preps it for the colour. The colour itself comes loaded with Pro-Keratin, an essential protein that strengthens the hair. Then, comes the post-colour conditioner, which restores collagen leaving the hair smooth, shiny and with a gorgeous and lasting colour.  

Tip #2When you are looking to do a DIY colour job at home, make sure you pick out a colour that is easy to apply and doesn’t create a mess. Excellence Creme has a bottle and nozzle applicator, and its non-drip formula will make sure you get an even application and lustrous colour. If you are re-colouring your hair, make sure you add the maximum colour on your roots and just spread it out scantily on your ends. This will prevent your hair from looking over-coloured or limp.

Tip #3

Most people shampoo their hair immediately post the colouring job. Not many people know that this is a big no-no, as the shampoo will wash the colour right off. Instead, apply conditioner, leave it on for a few minutes and then rinse off with lukewarm water. This way, your colour will last longer.

Tip #4Heat-styling, such as blow-drying and ironing can make the colour fade sooner and can make your hair dry. If you can’t live without your blow-dryer or tongs, make sure to use a good quality heat-protectant spray or serum before you start styling your hair. 

Tip #5A strict after-care routine is a sure-shot way to make the colour last longer. Invest in a good colour protecting shampoo and conditioner and use them each time you wash your hair.
