Raquel Saiz, blonde expert and director of Salón Blue by Raquel Saiz in Torrelavega (Cantabria) gives us a few tips that will help you save your hair. “Dyed hair always tends to dry out, because to set the color, the outermost layer of the hair fiber, the cuticle, had to be broken first. So the first enemy to overcome is dehydration to prevent hair from falling out when washing and color fading. Curly hair also naturally tends to be drier, so if it’s also dyed, the need for hydration will be even greater. The second thing to consider is protection, especially against irons and dryers,” says Raquel Saiz of Salón Blue from Torrelavega (Cantabria).
How do I take care of my dyed hair?
†Each hair is a world, therefore it is worth observing the state of each person’s hair. The main thing is to avoid unnecessary washing and do it with professional shampoos for colored hair. Why? Firstly, because the concentrations of the active ingredients in a professional product are not the same as in a supermarket product, hence the price difference. In addition, the cheaper chemical ingredients in their formulations are more aggressive with the color, causing more pigment to fade during wash. The other important point is hydration, it is what gives it strength and shine. Conditioner and mask are a must-have for colored hair, especially in the summer,” says the expert.
How to renew it?
“With washing, visits to the beach or pool and especially the action of the sun, the color not only tends to fade, it can also be changed. I am referring to the dreaded yellow tones. To correct it and on to refresh the color No need to re-dye it, we can touch it up with a gentler bleaching technique that uses the water in the hair fiber so as not to damage it and allows us to lighten two shades just enough to be ‘clean’ and restore light and color. lost tone,” explains the expert.
What if you have blond hair?
Blondes are our favorite in salons, although it is much more prone to color fading. Not only do we have to introduce adequate habits into our daily routine, such as the mask, we also have to consider the influence of the sun, pollution or shower water on our hair. “When we dye, we need to open the hair cuticle, which stores nutrients and oils that keep the hair flexible and resistant. That’s why it’s so important to restore the hydration and nourishment lost in all colored hair, but especially in blondes because the deterioration is even greater Use specific shampoos for blondes and avoid shampoos that contain sulfates or silicones that can dry out and dull the hair Correct the color with a purple shampoo once a week If you live in an area with a high chlorine content in the water, try to compensate for this, the chlorine turns green. I also recommend investing in a good product, what is cheap is expensive in the end,” advises Raquel Saiz.
