Coloring hair is a hot trend these days. Many women, as well as men, like to color their hair. However, with style, it also brings some measures that you must take in order to save your hair from damage.

Here are 7 tips for colored hair to keep them safe:

1. Wash hair less often

You must avoid washing your hair every day if you want your hair color to last longer. It will not only wash away a little bit of your hair dye every time you wash your hair but will also wash away the natural oils that moisturize and keep your hair color fresh.

2. Avoid chlorine

Avoid going for swimming as much as you can, because swimming pool contains chlorine, which is a chemical bleaching agent that cleans pools and will certainly strip color from your hair. Blonde hair is prone to turning a greenish hue, whereas darker shades may become gray, dry out, and lose its luster. In case you have to go to swimming, you can try a swimmer’s cap. You should also get your hair wet in the shower, use conditioner, and then don’t wash it out. This will create a barrier on the hair shaft so that the chlorine won’t breach.

3. Keep up with trims

It's important to keep your hair trimmed so that your dead ends don’t hold color and fades away even faster. Hence, make sure you are cutting off those dead ends every 6-8 weeks so your color looks fresh from root to tips.

4. Get The Right Products

It is extremely important to use the right products for your hair. And when it comes to colored hair, it becomes even more critical to use hair products that are chemical-free. Colored hair is more likely to damage and fall out. It is crucial to invest in some good color-protecting products, to ensure that the color lasts for longer and that your hair stays healthy. Color-protecting and conditioners from a protective layer over the hair shaft, which keeps the color from damaging.

5. Rinse With Cool Water

Hot water can cause the cuticles on the outer layer of your hair shaft to damage. This leads to frizz and moisture loss. It also makes your hair more liable to damage. Therefore, to avoid this, it's good to always rinse your hair with cool water. Cool water controls your frizz, seal your cuticles, and seals the color in your hair shaft. Rinse your hair with some cool water after a lukewarm shower, if you cannot handle a cold shower.

6. Reduce heat tools

This one is obvious. Heating tools are not good for your hair. Too much heat can damage your hair. And once you color your hair, it becomes much more susceptible to damage if you use heating tools regularly. Hence it is advised not to use the heating tools or reduce the use if you must.

7. Condition Every Time You Shampoo Color-Treated Hair

Be sure to condition your color-treated hair every time with a color-protecting conditioner, whenever you wash your hair using shampoo. Conditioned hair will help your color look glossier. Condition the tips, even if you have fine hair, which is the oldest hair on your head and has the most damage.
