Tips to Taking Care of Colored Hair
- After you color your hair, try not to shampoo your hair for at least 48 hours or longer so you can allow the color the set.
- When washing your hair, try to use lukewarm or cool water as opposed to warm or hot water can strip the color off faster.
- Try not to wash your hair so frequently, you can consider using dry shampoo. On days you can skip washing your hair, make sure you use a shower cap to keep your hair dry.
- Use conditioner always after shampoo. On some days, consider to skip the shampoo and use conditioner only. Shampoo strips color more so than the conditioner. From the RF collection, the parma Spendido conditioner is excellent to add moisture and seal in the color.
- Use specific shampoo for colored hair. This will help your hair maintain its color and vibrancy. I recommend using RF parma Spendido shampoo for colored hair.
- Hair masks and at-home treatments are essential. I personally use leave-in conditioners for hours before I shower, or put together a coconut oil hair mask. One of them I have been using and loving is the softening and smoothing hair mask by Rossano Ferretti parma intenso . After shampoo, I massage it into the strands of my hair, comb it out and leave it in for a few minutes before the rinse. It comes out so soft with no kinks at all.
- Protect your hair from UV Rays, yes this is essential. From the RF parma collection I use the protective and shining oil brillante everyday on my dry hair for protection and shine.
- Maintain a healthy diet or take supplements for healthy hair. Eat products that are iron-rich to keep your hair strong.
- Avoid chlorine – yes this especially means avoid swimming pools. Chlorine will change the hue of your colored hair. If you must, use a swimming cap or apply a leave-in protective conditioner.
- Avoid using heat as much as possible – this includes blow-drying, curling or straightening your hair. If required, use a heat-protective styling product and try to only use it on the lowest heat setting. For styling, the product I use is the Rossano Ferretti parma intenso softening and smoothing serum – I apply to my damp hair before any blow-outs.
- Go for Regular Trims and Cuts – this is essential for damaged hair. The regular cuts will eliminate your dry ends and encourage healthy hair growth. This year I am totally in love with The Method cut – which is a haircut according to each person’s natural hair fall in movement. Only available at Rossano Ferretti Hair Spa – they have locations all over the world including, New York, Paris, Beijing, and many more.
