Having colored hair is fun, but it needs good maintenance.
It’s no secret that getting a new hair color can make anyone feel beautiful. For some, dyeing their locks is not only an empowering act but also a symbol for change. However, coloring your mane can come with the heartbreaking consequence of getting damaged hair in the process. Hair coloring tends to leave tresses dry and frizzy, and vibrant colors also tend to fade if not properly taken care of.
Dove Color Care Conditioner can help you avoid having dry hair.

The harsh chemicals in hair dyes can make your hair dry and frizzy afterwards. Retain the moisture by applying conditioner after shampooing. Opt for conditioners that focus on color care such as Dove’s Color Care Conditioner.
Created for colored hair, the Dove Color Care conditioner leaves your hair feeling smooth and silky after every use. It is also formulated with vibrant color lock, which helps to keep your hair color vibrant up to 40 washes. The formula is also gentle and it nourishes your hair with regular use.

Pantene’s Intensive Care Hair Mask protects hair from further damage caused by coloring and perming.

If you want intensive care, you can also apply a hair mask after conditioning your hair. Pantene’s Intensive Hair Mask Color & Perm Lasting Care hair mask is infused with a liquid crystal shampoo system which helps the color and perm last longer compared to conditioners. Curly-haired gals would also benefit from this formula since it helps in keeping your hair shiny and manageable.
With a professional-quality intensive formula that contains 40 and more concentrated repair essence, the hair mask can restore chemically-damaged hair with every use.

Another way to preserve your hair color is to avoid washing it every day. But in a humid country like the Philippines where hair can get greasy easily, not washing hair borders on unhygienic. To avoid a greasy scalp during your shampoo-free days, spritz dry shampoo on your hair.
Klorane’s Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk has many features and benefits. First, it is eco-friendly and comes in a fully recyclable non-aerosol bottle. Second, it is hypoallergenic, which means it is suitable for people with sensitive skin. Third, it is made with ultra-fine powder, so you don’t have to worry about visible white residues on your scalp or clothes. Fourth, it rids hair of excess oil, dirt and odor. And lastly, it extends the life of your hair color and blow-outs.
The Body Shop Strawberry Clear Glossing shampoo leaves your hair shiny after every wash.

Bleaching is a normal part of the hair coloring process, but it can lead to dull and lifeless hair. Don’t worry; it’s still possible to revive your gorgeous locks. The Body Shop’s Strawberry Clearly Glossing Shampoo is enriched with Italian strawberries and aloe vera, which is known for its ability to revive dead skin cells. The strawberries, on the other hand, give your hair a lingering sweet smell all day long. The ingredients are also 100% vegan and the shampoo is formulated without silicones.

Did you know that the sun can affect your hair color? Along with heat styling tools, direct sunlight can affect the longevity of your hair color. Prolonged exposure to heat, especially for newly dyed hair, can make the color fade faster.
When you can’t avoid the sun, apply some sunscreen on your hair. Choose a spray-type sunscreen that can cover hard-to-reach areas, like Shiseido’s Sun Protection Spray. The formula contains broad spectrum UV protection that can help in protecting your hair and scalp from UV rays. It also features Xylitol, which helps in keeping your scalp feel soft and healthy-looking. If you’re heading to the beach, you don’t have to worry about sand and hair since the sunscreen is also sand-proof and water-resistant.

Classy Not Brassy is the first sulfate free purple shampoo in the Philippines.

One of the problems that blondes experience with their hair is that it becomes brassy over time. This can be prevented by switching to purple shampoo. Local brand Beach Born’s Classy Not Brassy Purple Shampoo distributes purple pigment all over your hair, which neutralizes brassiness.
The all-natural shampoo is also sulfate free. Sulfate is a chemical that strips away natural oils from your scalp. Along with tea tree oil, other nourishing ingredients of the shampoo include lavender and pro-vitamin B5—which is known for its deep moisturizing ability. The shampoo is compatible with any hair color.
