Hair Care Tips For Coloured, Chemically Treated Hair In Summer

Many of us love colouring our hair, experimenting with different products. However, the usage of these chemicals ruins the strength and texture of the tresses we love so much and give us a depression we want to shake off in whatever way possible. To combat the same, there are some tips that you need to keep in mind especially in the Summer season when there is a combination of excessive heat, harsh sun rays and sweat. 

Sameer Hamdare, Technical Manager at Streax Professional says it is important that you use serums and conditioners with SPF and use the right kind of combs to avoid breakage. 

Hair Care Tips For Coloured Hair 

People with colour-treated hair need to take extra care of their hair during summer. When chemical service comes in a contact with the Sun, can lead the colour to fade faster and also there would be maximum damage to the hair.

• To protect the coloured hair, choose hair care products made especially for colour-treated hair. Use a colour safe shampoo & conditioner, use serum/ live- in conditioner with SPF and UV protection specifically meant for coloured hair.
• Try to avoid exposing your hair to direct sunlight as much as possible as it may fade your hair colour. You can cover it up with a cool scarf or a cap.
• Also, use a wide-tooth comb instead of a regular comb to avoid breakage.
• Before anything else, you have to start prepping your hair in advance. If you want your hair to be healthy after you colour it, ensure that your hair is well-nourished and hydrated. Start oiling your hair and use hair masks at least 2-3 months before you plan on dying your hair. 
• Get regular trims and avoid heating tools. 
• If you have to get your hair bleached we suggest you apply cold-pressed coconut oil to your hair the night before you bleach it. This will minimise the damage to your hair shafts.

During Summer, there is a lack of moisture in the hair. So, use cold to lukewarm water to rinse your hair and keep the conditioner for 5-10 mins. This will help in strengthening the hair.
