How to wash the hair after the dye?
As we have indicated in the introduction, some brands of supermarket dyes usually indicate that you should not wash your hair with shampoo after applying it to the hair, simply indicate that it should be rinsed with water.
Some customers have told us that after using a tone on supermarket tone and having washed the hair with shampoo, the dye in the gray has disappeared. This can occur in low quality colored baths that do not cover the gray hair properly and therefore if you wash your hair with shampoo the dye disappears quickly.
In fact in the network you can find tips that will tell you that you should wait a day before washing your hair so that the dye is fixed to your hair as the cuticle stays open and ensure that after a day the cuticle closes. And this is why the question how long I should wait to wash hair after dyeing it has become popular.
For this reason, even if you want to use a bath of color or tone on tone that does not have ammonia so as not to damage your hair, we recommend that you use a professional hairdressing color bath, since even if you wash it with a shampoo it will not go away immediately. mane.
The same applies to professional hair dyes that should be washed perfectly after applying them. The recommended thing is that once the exposure time has passed, put a little water on your hair and emulsions all over and you scrub well around the contour to eliminate the dye marks on the skin.
Then you should wash it with a specific shampoo like the Elgon Color Fix shampoo that is designed to be used in the first wash after applying a dye, also known as post-color shampoo. Remember that you have to wash the head after the dye .
Care after dyeing hair
As we have already detailed above it is not necessary to wait a day or two to wash your hair after having dyed it but we are going to give you a series of recommended tips that you can take into account as care after dyeing the hair .
It is true that many customers consult us about how much dyeing hair should be washed since the dye is effectively disappearing with the washings, and as is logical, the less you wash your dyed hair, the better it will keep its color .
These are the recommendations that we offer you in the Alpel hairdressing shop so that the hair dye lasts as long as possible:
Reduce the frequency of washing
The less you wash your dyed hair, the longer its color will last. A trick to clean your hair without using water is to use a dry shampoo like these that we recommend.
Uses shampoo and conditioner for dyed hair
Shampoos of low quality as dandruff shampoos should not be used on colored hair because they are very aggressive with the tone and brightness of the dye, so we recommend using hairdressing shampoos designed specifically for the care of hair tinctured
If possible, it would also be highly recommended to use shampoos without sulfates since they are less aggressive.
Avoid excess water when you shower
Although we all know the pleasure it gives us to be under the shower feeling the water running all over our body, you should not do it with your hair dyed since this does not go well with the dye.
And as we have mentioned before, you should use good hairdressing shampoos for dyed hair .
Use warm water as cold as possible
The hot water causes the cuticle of the hair to open and therefore the color of the dye can be detached more easily from your hair.
As logically it is not pleasant to shower with cold water, try to adjust the temperature to the temperature less hot with which you are comfortable.
In the pool or on the beach, protect your hair before bathing
Both the chlorine in the pool and the salt water of the sea, and the sun itself, are very aggressive external agents for the color of dyed hair or strands of hair.
A good trick to protect the color of your hair or to prevent the wicks from getting green from the pool chlorine, is to use the Salerm 21 conditioner .
