My Solution : What You Can Do To Control Hair fall After You Color Your Hair

Hey Samruddhi,

Tysm for such kind words. I am flattered.

I have been there.

Since childhood, I have had grey hair and I have had my fair share of hair disasters because of hair coloring. The harsh chemicals present in the hair dyes (especially ammonia) are one of the main reasons behind your hair fall and damaged hair.

Here is what you can do.

Wash Your Hair Less But Use Color Protectant Shampoo

Hair coloring is a harsh treatment for your hair. It strips off natural oils from your hair. So washing more results in washing off the remaining natural oils which makes your hair dull and damaged from within.

That is why, wash your hair less after such harsh treatments and when you do wash them, make sure to use a good color protectant shampoo. This is because these color protectant shampoos are made with ingredients that are kinder to your hair as well as your hair color.

You can also make your own color protectant shampoo, check this post for more details.

Use Cold Water for Rinsing

Cold water helps to seal in the remaining moisture in your hair shaft. This will ensure that your hair does not dry out more.

Don’t Skip Conditioner

Conditioners are must for colored hair. They add the lost nourishment and moisture back to your hair. Basically, think of them as your colored hair’s staple food. Don’t skip it at any cost.

 

Make Dry Shampoo your hair’s best friends

Like I mentioned above, shampooing often will weaken and damage your hair further. But we can’t skip washing hair altogether, right? That’s when dry shampoo comes in the picture. Whenever you feel you need to wash your colored hair, use a dry shampoo. It will absorb the greasiness and add a beautiful freshness to your hair.

Deep Condition Your Hair once a week

Steam will repair damage

Giving your oiled hair a little warmth will help the oil and moisture to penetrate inside the hair shaft. This will ensure your hair gets the nourishment they need from within. This, in turn, will minimize the hair damage. I personally use my thermal cap for pampering my hair with steam but you can also use hot towel method.
