Dyed, shiny and smooth – is it possible?

It seems that these three parameters cannot be “mixed” or that they are impossible to achieve at the same time. If you dye and cover your gray hair, it is likely that your hair is not soft to the touch, and it may not look the best.

But not only the problem is the ink, full of chemical components, but also other neglects or mistreatments that are applied to the hair on a daily basis. The iron, the dryer, the curling iron or the sun can cause a lot of damage.

If you want some when coloring your hair, pay close attention!

1. As a first measure, hydrate.

Perform hydration massages on your colored hair once a week. Use natural products, such as coconut oil, olive oil, or oat milk. You can also buy the different creams that are sold in the market. Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes, rinse and wash regularly. In some cases you should not wash it.

For a more effective result, you can put on a plastic cap in that period of time.

Paint Kitts sometimes include a balm that you have to use in about ten days , don’t forget it.

2. What products do you use to clean your colored hair?

The best shampoos and conditioners for colored hair are those made with jojoba or coconut oil. It is necessary that they be as natural as possible and to obtain good and immediate effects, you can make these products yourself. In the market, likewise, there are an infinity of specific brands to maintain the dye and care for your hair.

Avoid greasy hair shampoos or “deep cleaning” shampoos because they are stronger and sweep away everything, even your color.

3. Don’t forget, protect it.

The sun, the chlorine in the pool, the sea water, the wind, are all enemies of your hair, especially when it is dyed. During the summer you should increase the protection using a spray or cream, or cover it with a hat or a scarf.

This will act as a barrier so that the sun’s rays, in the first place, do not wear down the color of the dye.
