Are ready to change the colour of your hair? Would it be your very first time trying this? If you answered yes, there are certain things to note while you are debating on the colour to get.
Here are 5 things you should know before dyeing your hair:
1. Too much of everything is bad
A lot of hair colouring is bad and can make your hair colour fade away. Your hair will fade faster in the sun, from using shampoo and conditioner not created for hair colour, depending on how often you wash it.
2. You will have to get touch-ups
No matter how well you take care of your strands, fading is inevitable, and since hair grows about 1/2 inch every month, you will at least have to get your roots redone every 6-8 weeks, depending on what look you choose. If you don’t have the time or the money to keep re-doing your look, stick to a colour that is closer to your natural shade, so your roots won’t be as noticeable. You may also decide to go ombre.
3. Only use shampoo and conditioner made for colour-treated hair
To help preserve your hair colour, go with a shampoo that literally says on the bottle either ‘a shampoo for ‘coloured hair’.
4. Highlights are easy to maintain
You can’t see your roots as much when your hair grows out because it’s not all-over colour, so you don’t have to touch up your hair as often.
5. Your hair health determines the outcome of your hair colour
Brittle, broken hair won’t accept colour the same way healthy hair does. If you have been skimping on your cuts, get a quick trim before you colour to trim away any damaged strands and make sure the new shade goes on uniformly.
