So you finally have your desired hair color - but now your hair is just as fibrous as it is! Luckily, there are ways to help you achieve a beautiful hair color while still remaining soft. With the right products, the right hair care routine, and perhaps some of the ingredients in the refrigerator, your stunningly colored hair will look silky smooth.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Replenish hair moisture

1. 

   Use conditioner right after dyeing your hair. Usually hair products come with their own conditioner. If you don't have one, use regular conditioner to cover all of your hair, leaving conditioner on your hair at least 3 minutes, then rinse with cool water.
   • If you are dyeing your hair in a professional salon, you should use a hair conditioner immediately after dyeing.
   • Often times, products that incorporate conditioner contain ingredients that are stronger and more harmful to the hair. Be careful when deciding on these products, and remember to read the ingredients on the label.
   • After dyeing your hair, you should avoid rinsing your hair for 48-72 hours, preferably not to get your hair wet. This will give your hair time to recover.

2. 

   
   
   Use conditioner to condition your hair deeply. In addition to using a regular conditioner, use a deep conditioner once a week. If your roots are oily, you should only apply conditioner to the ends. Wait a few minutes and rinse.
   • There are several types of dry conditioner. If you are using a dry conditioner, just dab or spray on your hair while it is still damp after bathing and that's it!

3. 

   
   
   Every time you wash your hair, wash it with warm water first, then rinse with cold water. Warm water opens hair follicles, and cold water closes the follicles. In other words, warm water will allow the hair to absorb moisture, and cold water holds the moisture inside. Your hair will be grateful to you! advertisement

Part 2 of 3: Maintain a proper hair care regimen

1. 

   
   
   Do not wash your hair every day. It actually dries out when you wash it, so avoid washing it for a few days if possible (that's why ponytails were invented, really!). When showering, wrap your hair up and put on a shower cap over it. Even if you don't wash your hair, you can't help but shower!
   • Each person has their own needs. Some people need to wash their hair every other day, some only once a week. Look at the roots: if you see oil, wash your hair. If not, you will save time and save time preparing for the new day!
   • If you feel the need to clean your hair while showering on days when you don't wash your hair, you can rinse and use conditioner.

2. 

   Use a good shampoo and conditioner when washing your hair. You need to use shampoo that is not too heavy and does not contain sulfate. If the shampoo contains hair conditioner, that's fine. And of course it's good for dyed hair too!
   • Concentrate the shampoo on the roots and conditioner at the ends. Conditioners are usually more oily - you need to nourish the ends instead of focusing on the roots that already have a lot of oil.

3. 

   Consider the type of dye you use. Determine which products work best for your needs with minimal damage to your hair.
   • Bleach brightens hair color by removing the color of the hair, and is also harmful to the hair by causing the hair cuticles to rise and become tangled easily. This is why conditioner is so important.
   • Temporary or semi-temporary dyes do not contain bleach, so they can lighten your natural hair color with ease of use and less damage. However, temporary hair dyes last only 6 weeks, so you will often have to dye it more often, and can end up damaging your hair.
   • Permanent dyes are much more durable, but the ingredients in them (oxidizing substances and ammonia) are more harmful to the hair.
   • Ammonia-free dyes use a less harmful compound instead of ammonia in permanent dyes. However, if you use this product too much, your hair will still be damaged like with permanent dye.

4. 

   Try to avoid using heat styling tools whenever possible. These tools will only make hair dry and further damage. You will have to sacrifice the hairstyle, but not without an alternative. Hairstyles such as ponytails or headband will hide messy hair. Think of this as a short-term solution. Put away the straightener and let it go naturally for a few days a week and you should see an improvement within a few weeks, unless your hair is too damaged.
   • If you are forced to use heat to style your hair, try lowering the temperature of the curling iron or straightening your hair, and avoid parting your hair multiple times to give it a break. While it's still better not to use a heating device, this will more or less reduce damage to the hair nonetheless.

5. 

   Trim your hair regularly. Usually when your hair is damaged it's ideal to trim it every 6-8 weeks. Hair tips are most often damaged when dyeing your hair, so this is the best way to resolve the problem. And for most people, hair stops growing to some point - trimming it can help restore hair.

6. 

   Eat hair foods. Eat a balanced diet every day. Do you know why people on a strict diet, weight-loss and fasting don't have beautiful hair? That's because what you eat will manifest on the outside. Without enough nutrients to function properly, your body won't give you beautiful hair either! So, get enough protein, zinc, iron, vitamins and minerals necessary to make your skin, hair and nails look better.
   • Drinking plenty of water is also beneficial. Just like apple cider vinegar is a hair cleanser, water will help purify your entire body. The more you are hydrated, the healthier your body will be.

Part 3 of 3: Using home moisturizing products

1. 

   Use eggs. The protein and lecithin in eggs have an excellent moisturizing effect on the hair from root to tip. In addition, eggs also help strengthen hair and prevent breakage. Here's how to turn breakfast ingredients into a home hair softener:
   • Mix 3 eggs with 1 tablespoon honey and 2 tablespoons coconut or olive oil. Apply a generous amount over your hair and let it sit for 30 minutes. Wash your hair thoroughly and let it dry naturally.
   • Half a cup of yogurt and 2 tablespoons of almond oil mixed with 2 beaten eggs creates a smooth, creamy mixture that you can rub all length of your hair. Leave the mixture on your hair for 30 minutes and use conditioner as usual.
   • Mayonnaise will work, too, but then your hair will smell like it was at the grocery store.

2. 

   Oil hair treatment. Olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, and almond oil are the best options. Adding a few drops of aromatherapy will not harm either. Simply put a few drops of oil in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together and spread all over your hair, or you can heat the oil in the microwave.
   • If you are more careful, you can heat up 4 tablespoons of oil on the stove. When the oil is hot but not so hotYou can remove the oil from the stove and pour it on your hair. Rub oil all over hair. Place a hot towel over your hair for best results.
   • Use coconut oil. Heat coconut oil in the microwave until it comes out. Let the oil cool down so you can touch it. Rub warm coconut oil into your hair thoroughly. Leave the oil on your hair for 4-5 hours (or as long as you want), then rinse it off.

3. 

   Soften hair with honey. Spread this sweet ingredient on your hair, let it sit for half an hour and rinse it off, or mix honey with avocado and eggs to create a smoother mixture. Use this deep conditioning treatment once a week.
   • Another way is to simply add honey to your regular shampoo!

4. 

   Crush some avocado and banana. The banana will strengthen the hair, then the avocado will continue to nourish the hair, making it soft and shiny. To be more effective, you can add 1-2 teaspoons of oil (any of these oils will work). Mix well, apply mixture to hair and let stand for 30-60 minutes.

5. 

   Sprinkle apple cider vinegar in your hair. With its use in restoring hair rather than moisturizing it, vinegar is a home remedy that can tackle many problems. It can restore the pH of the hair, removing any products that are harmful to the hair. Basically, vinegar is a cleaning agent for damaged hair.
   • Mix a 1: 1 ratio of apple cider vinegar with water and rinse your hair. Leave the vinegar on your hair for 15 minutes, then rinse it off. Continue to take care of your hair as usual.
