Colour Me Good
This season is all about embracing colour, whether you
are a guy and you want to rock Chris Brown's blonde
locks (but steer clear of Wiz Khalifa's Crayola hair
invasion) or play around with colour a la Rihanna; who
is the epitome of hair colour transitions. It is important
that one takes note of the important details before you
dye your hair:
Your hair can be damaged by applying colour when your hair isn't
healthy enough to handle the harsh chemicals. Before you colour
your hair, you need to make sure it is nourished and healthy so as
to be able to withstand any chemical damage, and to prevent
breakage and moisture loss. If you'd like to colour your hair, but it'
s not 100% healthy, try products that treat damaged or unhealthy
hair, which will strengthen and fortify your hair.
To minimize damage make sure your hair is healthy before you
colour it. You need to be consistent when it comes to maintaining
and nourishing your hair because this is what keeps it strong. Make
sure you go for treatments every two weeks and moisturise your hair
daily to keep it healthy and strong.
Get your hair coloured by a professional like your hairstylist who
has the skill and experience necessary to colour your hair correctly.
Note that he colour comes out one shade darker than the colour you
see on the box, so keep that in mind when choosing your colour.
Choose a shade that will compliment your skin tone and that's easy
to wear at the office and when you're out on the weekend.
Moisturise your hair to maintain your coloured hair. We recommend
the repairing and strengthening treatment which are good as they
prevent/repair damage that may be caused by colouring. Get ones
that contain natural ingredients such as coconut oil, castor oil and
mafura butter which nourish and treat the hair and scalp to ensure
healthy hair.
So what is better, temporary or permanent hair dye?
Temporary colour is much healthier than permanent colour because
it doesn't penetrate into your hair. It stays on the outer layer of hair,
so it is less likely to damage your hair. It takes about 6 to 8 washes to
remove the colour and you can apply colour again straight after as
long as your healthy is healthy and strong.
