In a beauty salon, experts think about this, but at home we have to worry about protecting our hair from dryness and brittleness. We spoke with the pros to find out what rules they follow to care for colored hair.

Constant staining can lead to brittle, dry and dull hair. Therefore, it is important not to neglect the maintenance of colored hair. But it is easier to prevent this damage if you turn to a professional stylist. «The stylist will take into account the peculiarities of your hair and will do something that you definitely would not have dealt with alone», – says a consultant for hair care and line products L’Oreal Professional Deniz Giye.
IN L’Oreal Professional a revolutionary technology appeared Smartbond, which is presented only in beauty salons. It is applied directly during coloring, and as a result, the hair looks strong and healthy and retains color much longer than usual.
Matthew Collins, Canadian hairdresser and ambassador L’Oreal Professional, explains why Smartbond necessary for his main clients – models: «The hair of the models is subjected to serious stress every day, so I must be one hundred percent sure that I maintain the integrity of the hair structure during dyeing! Once I was combing a client’s hair, which I had previously lightened, and only a few hairs remained on the comb – unbelievable, but a fact, because this is no more than any healthy person loses in a day. Her hair was not even minimally damaged, and the color turned out exactly as I wanted! The main thing is that when re-staining with the Smartbond system, you do not need to change either the oxidizing agent or its duration.».

Even if the master took care of protecting the hair even during dyeing, the task of maintaining health, shine and volume of the hair falls on our shoulders! So don’t forget to take care of your dyed hair at home.
With modern care products, this is not so difficult. The main thing is to choose those professional products that are suitable specifically for your hair and which contain ingredients to maintain a bright shade.
This is what stylists usually advise their clients to care for dyed hair.
- Use the right shampoo to avoid getting too quick fading hair… For instance, Kérastase Chromatic Reflection cleans the cuticle well, but does not wash out the coloring pigment from the hair structure. When washing your hair, use warm water, hair color may become dull due to exposure to boiling water.
- Don’t forget about hair conditioner: no matter how good the dye, it dries out the hair in one way or another, so they need to provide them with regular nourishment and hydration.
- Apply a conditioning mask to your hair several times a week. To enhance its intensity, as well as to consolidate the saturation of the new shade, add tint care to any hair mask Kérastase Chromatic Touch… It is available in four color options: cool blond, cool brown, copper or red.
- Use thermal protection for hair when laying. Such products protect your curls from the negative effects of a hair dryer and ironing.

If you like experiments and often dye your hair, then stylists are advised to collect on your shelf in the bathroom a full “battle arsenal” of cleaning and care professional products for the care of dyed hair, which will help maintain a bright shade and health of hair.

Clarified or highlighted hair it is the most difficult, because in addition to the staining procedure, they also have discoloration – the washing out of natural pigment. Therefore, care for bleached colored hair should be thought out to the smallest detail!
