Dyeing your hair in different colours might be fun, but it eventually takes a toll on the quality of your hair. Here are some tips for damage control.
Don't Shampoo Your Hair More Than Twice a Week
- The scalp naturally produces oils which protect and nourish the hair, so be sure to not shampoo it more than twice a week.
- This can be a difficult habit to break, but you should dry your hair naturally. If you have to use a heating device, make sure it's on low settings.
- Use a wide-toothed comb and only brush your hair once it is completely dry. If you untangle it while it is wet, you may risk breakage.
- After you wash your hair with shampoo, apply conditioner to it and wear a shower cap. Leave the conditioner on for 30 minutes and then wash with cold water.
- There are a variety of 'hair masks' that you can make with eggs, milk, honey or bananas to improve the quality of your hair.
