5 Ways to Keep Your Colored Hair Healthy
At Sunbeam Studio we value your hair’s health! Maintaining healthy, colored hair can be a challenge. Whether you're a lived-in blonde or have opted for a bold and bright color, there are several things you can do to keep your locks looking their best. In this blog post, we'll explore some of the most effective ways to keep your colored hair healthy.
Use color-safe products
One of the most important things you can do for your colored hair is to use products that are specifically designed for color-treated hair. These products are formulated to protect your color from fading and keep your hair looking healthy and shiny. Look for shampoos, conditioners, and styling products that are labeled as "color-safe" or "color-protecting." All products offered at Sunbeam Studio are color-safe!
2. Avoid heat styling
Heat styling can be incredibly damaging to your hair, especially when it's already been colored. Excessive heat can cause your color to fade, as well as weaken your hair strands and cause split ends. Whenever possible, try to avoid using heat styling tools like flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers. If you must use these tools, be sure to use a heat protectant spray or serum first. Mr. Smith has several styling products that offer heat protection to use before heat styling!
3. Limit washing
Washing your hair too frequently can strip it of its natural oils and cause your color to fade. Aim to wash your hair no more than two or three times per week. When you do wash your hair, use lukewarm water instead of hot water, as hot water can also cause your color to fade.
4. Deep condition regularly
Deep conditioning treatments can help to keep your colored hair hydrated and healthy. Look for a deep conditioning treatment that's specifically designed for colored hair, like Mr. Smith Masque and Luxury Masque. Apply the treatment once a week or as needed, depending on the condition of your hair.
5. Protect your hair from the sun
The sun's UV rays can be incredibly damaging to your hair, causing your color to fade and your hair to become dry and brittle. Whenever you're spending time outside, be sure to wear a hat or use a hair product that contains UV filters to protect your hair from the sun, like Mr. Smith styling products and Lack of Color hats!
In conclusion, taking care of your colored hair requires a bit of extra effort, but the results are well worth it. By using color-safe products, avoiding heat styling, limiting washing, deep conditioning regularly, and protecting your hair from the sun, you can keep your colored locks looking vibrant and healthy for weeks and months to come.
