Coloured Your Hair - Now Take Care!

Colouring your hair can bring out a new side to your personality, build your self-confidence and enhance your appeal, when the colour you choose compliments your skin tone. During the lockdown, people have opened themselves to various lifestyle changes, one of which is colouring their hair. So we, as one of the leading makers of the safest hair colouring solutions in India, would like you to understand that once you’ve coloured your hair, it requires extra care and attention. 

If you want to keep your newly coloured hair healthy and well-maintained, here are some tips that you should keep in mind: 

Follow a proper hair care routine before and after colouring

Before colouring your hair, follow a proper hair care routine for at least a few weeks that involves making sure your hair is well-nourished and hydrated. Oil your hair regularly, get it trimmed often, and avoid any harsh styling tools. In fact, even after colouring your hair, you should follow the same routine to ensure that the health of your hair and scalp is well-maintained. If you’re looking for a premium hair oil, we highly recommend our Vasmol Jasmine Coconut Hair Oil. ; you can explore more of our hair oil options, here. 

Cut down on hair washes 

Reduce the number of hair washes after you have coloured your hair because that helps the colour to last longer. Not only that, but frequent hair washes can also strip your hair of natural oils that are responsible for keeping it well-nourished. 

Wash your hair with cold or lukewarm water 

If you wash your hair with hot water, you must quit the habit after colouring your hair. It leads to significant moisture loss and makes your hair brittle and more susceptible to damage. So, make sure you are washing your hair with cold or lukewarm water. 

Use a dry shampoo 

On days when you don’t feel like washing your hair, you can go for a dry shampoo to keep your hair lively. If you use a colour-tinted shampoo, it can also retain the colour to last longer, thereby saving on the time and effort of re-colouring your hair often. 

Get a leave-in conditioner 

A leave-in conditioner is also quite effective, if you want to protect your hair from getting frizzy and rough. It contains silicones that shield your hair shaft by creating a layer of protection. 

Trim the hair ends to minimize damage 

Just after you finish colouring your hair, trim your hair ends in order to stop any hair damage from spreading since they don’t hold onto the colour for very long. 

Opt for your next wash after 2 days 

Do not wash your hair for the two days after colouring it, because the colour takes time to penetrate and settle in properly, or else it leaks and fades away significantly. 

Consume edibles that enhance hair health 

Other than taking care of your hair, you have to take care of yourself, in terms of what you eat to keep your hair healthy. So, consume edibles that provide nourishment to your hair, like eggs, salmon, peanuts, sardines, spinach, avocado, pumpkin, sweet potato, flax seeds, and asparagus, to improve your hair health. 

When colouring your hair, you are not only colouring it on the outside. The colour molecules penetrate your hair cuticles and reach the cortex of every cuticle, so you must choose a safe hair colour without ammonia.
