Love colouring your hair? Follow these essential tips to make your colour more durable

Colouring your hair can be a vibrant and fun experience. It also gives you a different appearance when you are bored with your look. Whether opting for natural hues or bold, unconventional shades, maintaining hair color requires dedication to regular touch-ups and gentle care. If you too love colouring your hair and hate visiting the salon too frequently then these tips are just for you.

Here are some tips to make your hair colour last longer

1. Use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner as sulphate is a harsh chemical which strips off your hair colour easily. Do not forget to use a gentle conditioner thereafter. You can also try a safe and gentle colour protection shampoo.

2. Wash your hair only when it's required. Washing your hair too frequently may lead to fading your hair colour. Go for a dry shampoo that suits your hair type, if your hair becomes oily more often.

3. Try to avoid using styling tools especially during the summer months. And if you do use them, apply heat protectant spray before using them.

4.Whenever you step out protect your hair from the sun. Always wear a hat or cover your hair with a scarf whenever you step out.

Proper maintenance of hair colour also involves nourishing treatments and occasional deep conditioning which help preserve colour vibrancy and ensure healthy, luscious locks.

Things you should do to protect your coloured hair

Shield your hair from wind and pollution, which can weaken hair and cause color fading. Wear hats or scarves when outdoors for extended periods, and use products with UV protection.

Schedule regular trims every 6-8 weeks to remove split ends and prevent them from traveling up the hair shaft, causing further damage. This helps maintain hair health and promotes growth, keeping your locks looking fresh and vibrant.
