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 dyed hair this summer. Take note!
How do I take care of my dyed hair?
“Every strand of hair is different, therefore it is important to observe the condition of each person’s hair. The main thing is to avoid unnecessary washing and do this with professional shampoos for colored hair. Why? First of all, because the concentrations of the active ingredients are not the same in a professional product as in a supermarket product hence the price difference.In addition, the cheaper chemical ingredients in their formulations use which are more aggressive in color, causing more pigment to fade over time.The other key point is hydration, it is which gives it strength and shine. Conditioner and mask are a must for dyed hair, especially in summer,” says Raquel Saiz of Salón Blue of Raquel Saiz from Torrelavega, Cantabria.
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 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 Raquel.
Care recommended by experts
The sun fills us with vitality, but when it hits our hair, the same doesn’t happen. And if we also include salt and chlorine, then we have the winning number to go home with damaged hair after the long-awaited vacation. This is how Raquel Saiz from Salón Blue by Raquel Saiz from Torrelavega (Cantabria) warns us: “The sun dries out in summer and its action on our hair affects the pigments, the coloring, both that of dyed hair and that of natural hair. hair. This is due to the action of UVA/UVB rays, so before exposing ourselves to the sun, we must apply a sunscreen. If we don’t, blondes will get an unpleasant greenish color and darker will become lighter. The result is damaged. hair that looks dull and lacks strength.”
Not only that, dehydration causes dehydration and helps break and open the ends, the dreaded split ends that can only be corrected with a good cut. Also, when we have dry hair, it is more prone to frizz. Frizz occurs when hair seeks moisture from the environment and “expands” to hydrate. To prevent this, Rafael Bueno of Rafael Bueno Peluqueros from Malaga recommends “applying a protector half an hour before going to the beach or swimming pool, the same as for the skin, but on the hair and scalp. The dried salt and chlorine act on the hair as if we were getting a color or perm, as it oxidizes the minerals in the hair fibers. If we reapply it after the bath, even better.”
Another trick to protect our hair is to tie our hair together and not let it come loose until we wash it. Wet hair is more fragile and therefore the harmful effects of the sun, salt and chlorine have a greater impact on it. “We should always put our hair up when we bathe at the beach or in the pool. In this simple way we protect it from the sun’s rays, salt and chlorine and avoid the stress of having to comb and detangle when we let it go. I also recommend applying moisturizing and nourishing masks at least once a week so that we can ensure that we arrive in September with hair in good condition”, advises Charo García of Ilitia Beauty & Science from Balmaseda (Bizkaia).
