After spending a significant amount of money on hair colour, you would want to make sure that it stays longer on your hair as long as possible. You do not want your hair colour to fade quickly after spending all those money.

How the hair colour fades varies from one person to the other all depending on how you take care of it. Here are some tips you should follow to ensure that your hair colour lasts longer. Plus it will make your colour vibrant and glowing for the longest time possible.

Avoid Shampooing Your Hair Right Away

Hair Shampoo

Hair colour needs at least 24 hours to settle in your hair. The hair colour will not settle properly if you shampoo it right away. If a hair colour does not have enough time to settle it tends to fade even if you had dyed your hair.

Wait at least 24 hours before you attempt to shampoo your hair. It is recommended to wash your hair after 48 hours from when the hair colour was applied for the best result. Your hair will still be clean after the hairstylist shampoo it during the colouring process.

If you need to wash your hair, make sure that you use cold water and avoid shampooing. Running cold water through your hair will be enough to get rid of dirt and dust on your hair in the meantime.

Use Shampoo Less Often

Not only avoiding shampoo on your hair within 24 hours from colouring is important. Using a shampoo less often is also a vital tip to ensure that your hair dye lasts longer. If you shampoo your hair often, it will strip away your hair’s natural oils and make the colour fade.

If you need to clean your hair between shampoos, you can opt to use dry shampoo instead. You cannot control your hair from becoming dirty and greasy. Especially if you have oily hair but you can do a lot of things to protect your hair colour from fading quickly.

Hair experts recommend washing your hair less and dry shampoo more often. This will help make your hair colour vibrant for the longest time possible. Additionally, if you shampoo your hair, make sure that you only focus on your root and avoid applying it to the length of your hair.

Use the Right Product

Once your hair is already colour treated, you must consider choosing the right hair product that suits your hair. It is recommended to use products that are made solely for colour treated hair.

Choose hair products that do not contain alcohol, sulfates and other chemicals that can damage your hair and its colour. The hair dye can dry your hair already and adding more chemicals will damage your hair even more. Choose hair products that are nourishing to your hair while making the colour vibrant.

There are so many hair products out there that are made for colour treated hair. You will just have to read the label and choose the products that are best for your hair. It is also advised to go organic as this contains natural ingredients that are gentle for your hair.

Avoid Showering With Hot Water

Who doesn’t love to take hot showers? Everyone loves staying in the bathroom enjoying a long hot shower especially if the weather is cold. But, if you have colour treated hair, it is advised that you stay away from hot showers.

Hot water strips off your skin and hair’s natural moisture as well as make your hair colour look dull. You can use the hot water on your body but avoid using it on your coloured hair. When you are going to wash your coloured hair, make sure to lower the water’s temperature. It is still best to use cool water for your hair as recommended earlier.

Avoid Heat Styling

Install a Shower Filter

The water from the shower that we use to wash our hair contains chemicals such as chlorine. This chemical can damage your hair and hair colour. Investing in a shower filter can be very helpful not only in protecting your hair colour from fading. It will also protect your hair from drying.

Chlorine is a harsh chemical that is commonly present in the water. This chemical is added to raw water as part of the water treatment. It helps get rid of algae and other aquatic life forms present in the water to make it safer for human use.

A shower filter will filter all the chemicals and minerals found in the water. It will prevent the chemicals to have contact with your hair and skin. By doing so, there will be less hair colour rinsing down your drain.

This is also why you must go swimming in a pool less often if you have a coloured treated hair. Pools have a lot of chlorine that will wash out the colour from your hair making it look dull and lifeless.

Take Time to Take Care of Your Hair

The redness and itching that you experience due to your dandruff can be relieved by adding baking soda to your shampoo. However, baking soda has a high pH level which is why it is not recommended to use it very often.

Additionally, the vinegar can help balance the pH level of your scalp thus making it hard for the fungus causing dandruff to thrive. If the growth of the fungus will be hindered so does irritating dandruff that is continuously bothering you.

Reduce Your Stress

One of the known triggers of dandruff is stress. The more stress you experience, the more you notice that your dandruff is getting worse. Stress has a significant impact on our overall health as it can cause our blood pressure to rise as well as our heart rate.

Our skin’s health is also affected by the stress that we are experiencing. Although there is no direct impact stress has on dandruff, it can be a trigger for something that is already existed. For example, if you already have existing dandruff, your stress level will make it worse and aggravate its symptoms.

It can be difficult to reduce your stress especially if you are currently going through something stressful. However, you can try to do meditation like yoga, deep breathing and aromatherapy. These activities will help you control your stress level.

Change Your Diet

What you are eating will also affect the condition of your skin which includes your scalp. Although it may not be the cause of dandruff, it will worsen the symptoms that are already been bothering you.

There is still a small amount of information from the research conducted about the effects of food on dandruff. However, there is already significant research that suggests a link between diet and skin disorders such as seborrheic dermatitis.

It is best to increase your intake of fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins and minerals and also antioxidants as they can greatly help minimize inflammation. A study concluded that individuals who eat fruits more often will less likely suffer from seborrheic dermatitis.

Biotin also plays a huge role in maintaining healthy skin. People who have a deficiency with biotin will experience various skin disorders including dandruff. Biotin can be found in food like salmon, liver, egg yolks and nuts, so it is best to include more of these kinds of food in your diet.

Neem

Have you seen those anti-dandruff shampoos that claim to have neem on their ingredients? The reason behind this is that neem extract is an effective antibacterial and antifungal natural skin medication.

This is an old-aged remedy for skin ailments that have been used for centuries. It was proven effective for almost 5000 years which is why there is no reason why you will not use it to treat your seborrheic dermatitis.

To maintain volume on your thin hair, it is advised to keep your hair above your collarbone. Examples of the best haircuts for you include bobs and pixie cuts. Cutting your hair short is the fastest way to achieve volume on your hair.

Additionally, layers have long been known as the best way of adding volume to thin hair. A layered hair provides more dimension and movement, making your thin hair look healthy and full of life compared to a long straight hairstyle.

One-length hairstyle is not completely discouraged. As a matter of fact, there is also a benefit that a one-length hairstyle can provide women with thin hair. Having a one-length cut gives volume and strength to thin and fine hair. It is best to talk to your hairstylist and discuss the best cut that is best for your thin hair.

Install Hair Extensions

Hair Extension

Hair extensions are the best solution for flat lifeless hair. If you are not a fan of short haircuts, then there is a trick you can do to keep your long hair without worrying it will lay flat on your back and make your overall appearance dull.

Many women have already become very happy and satisfied with how great their hair looks after they installed bio-bonds hair extensions. They are now rocking a long and voluminous hairstyle with the help of our hair extensions that are made with natural human hair.

Change Your Hair Part

Another effective way to volumize your hair is to change your part. You can transfer the part of your hair to the other side to create more volume on your crown. Avoid parting your hair where it is naturally divided and opt to go for the opposite side forcing your hair to fall on the other side from where it normally fell.

To help you achieve this, you can spray a little bit of hairspray to your hair to keep it firm on the new part you created. The best volumizing hair part that you can do is the side part. However, you can as well try the zig-zag, or low side part and see which works best for you.

Blow-dry Upside Down

This is a trick you must keep on your sleeves as it can come in handy anytime you need to add volume to your fine hair. Doing this trick is very easy, you will just have to flip your head upside down keeping your hair hanging in front of your face.

Blow-dry your hair from the roots on the nape of your neck down to your ends. This trick will create a volumizing effect when your hair dries. When your hair is about 60 to 70 percent dry, flip your head upright and continue blow-drying.

Alternatively, you can also stay in a vertical position but make sure to blow-dry your hair from inside out or lift some part of your hair and blow-dry it from under.

Once you will see the result of this blow-drying trick, you will never blow-dry the same way again. Blow-drying upside down works great wonders into thin and fine hair which is why it is worth the try.

Moreover, most women who have thin and fine hair often skips blow-dry as their hair can get dry easily without the added heat. Blow-drying your hair will help activate the volumizing products you use on your hair so it is best not to skip the blow-dry especially if you have been using volumizing hair products. What you will need to remember is to blow-dry the right way which is to do it upside down.

Use Clarifying Shampoo

A clarifying shampoo will help get rid of all product build-up on your hair. Product build-up will make your hair strands heavy which is why it tends to fall flat on your back. It is best to wash your hair with clarifying shampoo at least once a week.

If you make it a regular habit to cleanse your hair with clarifying shampoo at least once a week, you will notice that your hair will become lighter and springier which will result in more voluminous hair. When you use a clarifying shampoo, do not forget to lather it up twice for the best result.

Use the Right Shampoo and Conditioner

Choosing the correct products you put in your hair is one way of ensuring that you give it volume. When picking a hair product that will address your flat and limp hair, look for items that have the words “volumizing” or “Adds body” on their label.

There are so many volumizing shampoos and conditioners that are available in the market and it is best to use these products to achieve the fullness of your hair. This goes also with other hair products and not just only for your shampoo and conditioner. It is best to choose a product that addresses the problem you are facing and in this case, the lack of volume.

When washing your hair, it is best to rinse it first with hot water to open up your hair cuticles. This way all the dirt or products that are trapped on your hair strands will be easily washed away. After you rinse your hair apply the shampoo on your wet hair starting from the roots and lather it up along your hair’s length.

Avoid rubbing your ends as you apply the shampoo as it is the most brittle part of your hair and rubbing it can only damage your hair.

Apply the conditioner right after you rinse all the shampoo off of your hair. Make sure that you apply the conditioner on damp hair and not extra wet. Which is why it is best to squeeze out excess water from your hair before you condition.

It is best to wash your hair regularly to get rid of dead cells and improve blood circulation. However, it is also not advisable to wash your hair every day. The best schedule would be washing your hair every 2-3 days. This way you can ensure that your hair is clean but won’t dry out due to excessive washing.

Discover the Wonder Of Dry-Shampoo

Instead of washing your hair every day, why not try using dry shampoo to clean your hair. If you are suffering from greasy hair and could not live a day without cleansing your hair, it is best to use dry shampoo in between your scheduled washes.

Greasy hair is one of the main cause why your hair falls flat and dull. The excess sebum weighs down your hair thus making it look lifeless. When you use dry shampoo, it will absorb this excess sebum from your hair and adds body and texture to your hair.

Fine hair is usually greasy which is why not washing it every day can be a problem. To create balance, dry shampoo can come to the rescue. Now that you know how a dry shampoo can help you, there is no need to worry about greasy hair in between washes anymore.

Use the Correct Brush

Brown Hair Brush

A brush will not only help you smooth out and detangle your hair. It is also a wonderful tool that helps you achieve voluminous hair especially if you use the right brush. There are so many different types of hairbrush out there and picking the correct brush for your hair might be difficult.

Some women tend to go with a metal vented round brush as it can conduct heat during blow-drying which will add on the heat’s effect on your hair. However, if you are looking for a brush that will smooth out and detangles your hair while creating volume, it is best to go with a brush that has boar and nylon bristles.

In addition to blow-drying your hair upside down, when you use the right brush, you will achieve beautiful and voluminous hair. You can as well use a paddle brush while you are blow-drying your hair and end the process by brushing your hair with a round brush.

Don’t Stay Away From Hair Mousse

Mousse is a great way of lifting your roots giving your hair more volume. If you haven’t used mousse for a long time then it is now the time to include it on your shopping list once again. Most people will probably think that hair mousse is so 4 decades ago but what you might not know is it was a very effective product and it still is.

Mousse is a very great hair volumizing product. Dispense a generous amount of mousse on your hand preferably a golf ball-sized amount and apply it from your hair’s roots up to your mid hair shaft. The mousse will leave your hair soft and plump the entire day.

It can also be best if you do light blow-drying with your fingers to ensure the best result of the hair mousse that you applied to your hair.

Go Classic With Rollers
