Color and Highlight Care Tips and Techniques

Color treated hair has special needs and good care is essential for any hair type. Follow these professional suggestions to keep your hair looking Fantastic!

Not only is henna powder available in a wide variety of hues (most of them are just different shades of red) but it actually benefits your hair as opposed to burning and damaging it.

For those who would rather not color hair but are interested in the other benefits of henna, you can usually find it in neutral or colorless. Using this henna once every couple of months won't change the color of your hair but it will leave it softer, shinier and easier to manage.

Do not wrap in a towel turban when you get out of the shower with wet hair. The added friction can knot and damage vulnerable wet hair. Instead, carefully blot hair dry. Then you may apply wax. Don't brush hair when wet. Comb with a wide-tooth comb, working tangles out as you move from the ends toward the scalp. Don't overdry. When you blow dry, dry the hair until it is almost, but not completely, dry. Leave some moisture in to prevent static.

 

Use hairspray or henara hair finishing with moisturizers and sunscreens to finish the hair. These products will provide continual protection throughout the day.

Don't spray lightening agents or put lemon juice in your hair.

Hair Coloring Stubborn Greys
Some gray hairs are particularly stubborn or "resistant," either harder to color from the start or quicker to lose color than other grays. These may be coarse gray hair, prematurely gray hair, or the gray hair around the temples and hairlines. Try these simple strategies to combat those stubborn grays:

Start your haircoloring session by applying color to the resistant gray areas only. Then put color on the rest of your hair. This technique gives the resistant gray hairs more time to absorb more color.

If your resistant gray isn't being covered completely, try leaving color on a few minutes longer than your strand test, checking color every five minutes. And be patient. . . it may take up to 45 minutes to cover.

If after leaving semi or demi-permanent haircolor on for a few minutes longer, your grays still show through, you might consider going to a more permanent henna color product. Deeper, darker shades tend to cover gray better than lighter shades do.
