Introduction

Hair colouring is one of the best ways to change the way you look entirely. Anyone can colour their hair, but it should be done the right way. Hair colour functions by applying colour to each strand (non-permanent colour)  or by breaking through each hair cuticle, getting into the hair cortex, and fusing with the hair (permanent colour).

As the name implies, permanent hair colour remains on the hair permanently, but non-permanent colour can eventually be removed with shampoo. The colour will gradually fade, though, as your hair continues to grow.

Choose the best hair colour for you

There are other types of skin tones besides fair, medium, and dark. They are called undertones. The permanent colour beneath your skin’s surface is referred to as the undertone. Knowing your undertone will assist you in selecting the colours and shades that complement you best. Undertones are traditionally classified as warm, cool, or neutral. 

Here’s an easy way for you to determine your undertone. It is through your veins. You can easily find out your undertone through the colour of your veins. People with a warm undertone have green veins, while those with a cool undertone have blue veins. People with neutral undertones have purple veins. And while your skin tone is susceptible to change, your undertone remains constant.

Tips to take care of coloured hair

Deciding to get your hair coloured and finally doing it is a long process. All these efforts will be wasted if you do not take good care of your hair before and after colouring. Here are some of the tips you can follow to take care of your coloured hair.

Before colouring

1. Don’t shampoo your hair before hair colouring. The natural oils in your hair are important to protect your scalp from itching or other allergic reactions due to the dyes. 
2. Just because a dye suits someone doesn’t mean it will suit you too. So always do a patch test before using a hair dye.
3. Keep your hair moisturised before hair colouring. You can use a leave-in conditioner or a hydrating hair mask a day before colouring. 

After colouring

Getting your hair coloured is just the beginning. The main work starts when you begin to take care of your hair. Here are some tips that you can follow while taking care of your hair after colouring it.

1. After colouring your hair, wait at least 2 to 3 days before washing it. The hair cuticles are left unprotected and more vulnerable to harm due to hair colouring. Reduce the number of times you wash your hair in the future to preserve its brilliant colour.
2. High heat can cause hair to lose moisture. Choose cool or lukewarm showers instead of hot ones. The same is true for styling equipment that uses heat, like curling irons, straighteners, and blow dryers. When styling your hair, use a thermal protectant serum or spray.
3. Moisture loss is one of the side effects of hair colouring. So always keep your hair hydrated. 
4. Pick a shampoo that is specially made to take care of coloured hair. Regular shampoos can make your hair colour fade quickly. 
5. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and chlorine. Both can reduce hair moisture and make your hair colour fade quickly.
