If you have dyed, relaxed hair or plan to get it coloured, you must follow all of these tips for caring for coloured relaxed hair.
These suggestions will help you avoid the stress of dealing with damaged hair.
After relaxing your hair, wait at least two weeks
Many people colour their hair on the same day they relax, but this is a bad idea. Both relaxers and hair dyes work by destroying the protective protein bond that surrounds the hair. If you do both on the same day, you risk permanently damaging your hair and causing severe breakage.
Instead, wait two weeks before beginning a protein conditioning treatment.
Reduce the use of heat tools
If your hair is relaxed or coloured, it is already in poor condition, and using heat tools could cause serious damage. However, if you must use heat tools, use a heat protectant first.
Colour-protecting shampoos should be used
Using colour-protecting shampoos will ensure that your hair colour lasts longer. And if the colour lasts longer on your hair, you won’t need to touch it up as frequently.
Deep condition your hair on a regular basis
Dryness, frizz, and breakage are common problems with coloured hair. To combat this, deep condition your hair regularly. Make sure to alternate between protein conditioners and moisture conditioners.
