The question I received was “What products should I use after coloring my hair?” and that is a tricky question. Everyone’s hair is different. But there are a few tried and true products I recommend.
1- Color Stay Shampoo
I recommend Redken Color Magnetics Sulfate Free Color Extend Shampoo. It’s amazing. I have never seen a shampoo protect the hair as well as this one does.
2- Purple Shampoo (for blondes)
If you’ve lightened your hair I have only found one purple shampoo that I am in love with and that is UNITE Blonda Shampoo and Conditioner. It smells like grape soda and works wonders! It is powerful and I am obsessed with it.
If you choose to use a sulfate free shampoo (like the magnetics by Redken mentioned above) you really don’t need conditioner. But otherwise you will need a powerful conditioner, so I recommend TIGI S Factor “Serious” Conditioner. Just trust me on this one.
After Color Hair Care Tips:
- Do not use hot tools on your hair for three days after getting your hair colored.
- Do not wash your hair for 2 days after getting your hair colored.
- Use a shampoo designed for color treated hair
- Do a deep condition treatment 1 week after your hair color serivce.
- When you wash your hair in the shower, use cold water.
- If you can not stand to use cold water, after shampooing and conditioning, make the water cold and rinse your hair with it for a cold “shot”.
- Do not color your hair more than once every other month
- Do not color your hair at home, please go to a professional: Here’s Why!
