So what’s after spending so much time, effort, and money looking and getting the perfect hair color? Hmm, it is time to maintain it and protect it for as long as possible. And to achieve this there are somethings that you need to avoid.

1 || Washing Your Hair Immediately

So how long do you have to wait before washing your dyed hair? Well, hair stylists suggest that you should at least wait three days before washing your hair. This time allow the cuticle to close and the color to set. Working out is another thing that you should avoid in the first three days after coloring your hair as sweat may affect the color, and you’ll need to shower after… The best thing to do is to reschedule your workout sessions.

2 || Washing Your Hair Daily

Washing your hair 1-3 times per week is your best way to keep fresh hair color intact for as long as possible. The habit of daily shampooing will not only wash away a little bit of your hair color every day but will also strip your scalp of the natural oils needed to keep your hair fresh, shiny, and healthy.

3 || Using Hot Water

With or without coloring, hot water is bad for your hair as it strips it of its natural oils. When you wash your dyed hair with hot water the outer layer of hair color lift which cause the color to fade. Instead, wash with cool or lukewarm water as it helps in closing the cuticle and lock the color in.
