Tips and Tricks for Taking Care of Dyed Hair Without Damage.

If you’ve recently made the exciting choice to switch up your natural hair color — whether it’s an all-over color, highlights, or a balayage — congratulations! Now, let me share some tried-and-true tips to keep your color vibrant and your hair healthy without damage.

1. Never Skip Your Heat Protector

Before you do any heat styling, always prep your hair with a heat protectant. This acts as a barrier between your strands and the hot plates of your flat iron or curling wand. Without it, you risk breakage, frizz, and thinning. Heat protectant is a must-have to keep your color looking fresh and your hair strong.

2. Turn Down the Heat in the Shower

I know this one can be tough to hear — those steamy hot showers feel amazing! But hot water opens the hair cuticle, which causes color to fade faster.

Here’s a little trick: if you do take a hot shower, apply plenty of conditioner before rinsing to help protect your hair from the heat and keep it hydrated. Better yet, try lowering the water temperature just a bit to extend your color’s vibrancy.

3. Keep Regular Check-Ins With Your Hairstylist

Even if your color doesn’t require frequent salon visits, regular check-ins are key to maintaining hair health. Stop by for trims, refreshers, or toner sessions when you can.

Building a strong relationship with your stylist helps you:

• Adjust your hair care routine as needed

• Get professional advice on how to protect your color

• Keep your hair looking its absolute best
