Sunset Hair Color: How to Take Care of Your Hair
To make sure the hair color looks its best, follow these basic guidelines which are considered best practice amongst hair stylists:
- Using a quality shampoo and conditioner specially designed for colored hair is a must
- Keep your hair hydrated and prevent it from drying out by using a hydrating hair mask once or twice a week
- A regular visit to a hair stylist to trim any split ends is a must – it will keep your hair looking much healthier and in better condition
- Avoid any heat on your hair if possible – it will dry it out even more. If you need to use any hair iron or similar tools, apply heat protection spray before you
- Avoid staying in the sun for extended periods of time – wear a hat where possible
- Beware of pools – chlorinated water can do a lot of damage to colored hair, especially if you have lighter color tones
