5 Things You MUST Know After Coloring Your Hair

Here are 5 things you must know, but your hairdresser probably doesn't tell you when you color or bleach your hair. These are tips on how to help make the hair color you paid for last longer and look better and healthier. these are all things I tell my new clients and most of them look at me wondering why none of their previous hairdressers told them that so I figured maybe it would be a good video. hope you like it!.

Laura X Thank u so much for posting this!!

[@loversthird8858]

Thx appreciate it

[@aalberto4961]

I'm new with this...Caution with heat tools.. Does that mean also using protective styling spray?

[@simple_naildesigns]

Laura X thank you 🙌🏽

[@YoursTruely4455]

I washed the same day, lost all the colour....

[@joangentile2731]

She's right with her advice. Rinsing your hair with cold water really makes the hair shiny. Waiting two days to shampoo your hair after you color is the best advice to keep the color vibrant. Use a color treated shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair. Don't go swimming for a few days after you color, or else you will have green hair, especially, on blonde hair. 💖

[@lollypopdrop3961]

May I say; This is GREAT information; esp. * cold water as much as you can stand it, AND,,, ** ask your colorist if she/he can give you a break on the cost, rather than go too long without hair care! Brilliant! Thank you for your insight!

@Danny Page lol my situation is kinda similar to yours. My parents are pretty much the same way but I moved out about 1+ years ago so I have more freedom. I eventually went home to see them with my faded black hair and they weren't really pleased but resigned lol. I would like to try some fun colors too but my family would be even less pleased lol

Excelentes consejos, gracias.

Thanks for a great video 👍. I think many women (me included) would love to see a video on different ways to deal with graying hair. I'm sure you have had many clients deal with it in different ways. I for one would appreciate some ideas 👩🏼‍🦳

[@rickwarren8161]

I have shoulder length hair and love my gray color but like to look "styled." (To decrease the amount of chemicals on my scalp, I only have highlights every 3-4 months). I told my stylist to work with, not hide my gray. I love her work. She puts in a mix of both low lights (dark color to match my dark hair) and highlights (to match my natural blonde/old highlighted blonde), then rinses with platinum blonde which matches my ever increasing wide areas of gray. The low lights allows my own hair to grow out without there being a dramatic line.

You are absolutely amazing!

QUESTION! How long should I wait to dye my hair again? I died it lighter again (i’ve been a dirty blonde for over a year now), but now i want to go back to a darker color. My hairs really damaged and falling out 🙃 how long should i wait

[@tylerdhoore624]

I love this, you’re so to the point and don’t faff like most youtubers

i went from dark brown thick curly hair to a silverish grey and the dye made my hair completely straight and i asked my hairdresser if wetting my hair and putting in leave in curl conditioner to get my curls back was a good idea and she said i can do it. now my curls are back literally just hours after dying is that bad for my hair ? i just wanted a second opinion.

how is your hair now/how was the experience? my brother is going to dye his hair blonde (natural is also black) and i want to know how i can help

[@ron1sux]

@@Jasmine-fp3jd im pretty sure u're supposed to go back to the salon every month or every few months (if u dyed your hair an unnatural color) but since blonde isn't unnatural ig its fine. hair dye will fade faster if you dont take care of it. my hair is pretty okay. same old same old as before and im enjoying the color. it got a little bit darker since its been 4 almost 5 months since ive gotten it dyed. as for the experience, it was rlly fun except for sitting in a chair for 30 minutes to let it set before washing. i got mine done at the salon by a proffesional and it made the experience even more fun !! its really cool. i didn't wash my hair for 5 days cuz i only got highlights. (if ur brother is gonna do his whole head or most of it, i say dont shower for a week)

I luv your vids, Silvia.! What about the water temp when washing out the dye from your hair? Many often use hot, some cold. Also, some stylists have told me not to use colored shampoos and conditioners as it will mess with your intended base color when it comes to recoloring. your thoughts? Do clarifying or chelating shampoos strip color (too much)? Or is it just me and my hard-to-cover gray? Should we use them at all with colored hair?

[@Fwixi]

Thx for the vid !!!

[@gallardo1288]

I paid 280 dollars after they quoted me 80. Left thinking its just a dramatic difference. No, I hate it! 😭 this was 15 days ago. How much damage will it be to dye my hair back to dark brown from blonde?

[@Nicole-vn7id]

I loved seeing these tips! they are all that I actually already did (told by my hairdresser). If would really be fun to see your reactions to some bad hair videos. I've seen some other KZbinrs doing this video and I always wonder what your reaction would be because I trust your opinion the most.

Hey guys! I just wanna ask if is it okay that i apply hair spray even when your hair is colored? Or will it cause damage?

If no toner is used after highlights, is it OK to wash or at least rinse before that 48 hour mark? The cool water is a great tip!! Also, how hot is too hot for heat tools? I blow dry on warm setting and then my curling iron is usually at 350°...?

[@estefaniaxo]
