Waarom vervaagt je haarkleur?

Je bent er waarschijnlijk al achter gekomen dat er niets permanent is aan een permanente haarkleur. De mooie nieuwe haarkleur die je na het kleuren had, begint in vrij korte tijd vaal te worden. Het kan zelfs in vrij korte tijd vervagen en lelijk worden. Maar waarom vervaagt de haarkleur zo snel?

Vijf oorzaken die je haarkleur doen vervagen

• The sun - most of us like to sit in the sun whenever the opportunity arises. Hair lightens when exposed to sunshine. This applies to almost anything that contains pigments. Just think of tattoos, for instance. The colour of tattoos also fades when exposed to too much sunshine. Ditto with your hair colour. The sun particularly lights up the hair at the top and in the outer layers. For people with fine and porous hair, colour fading tends to be faster. The sun's rays can penetrate the hair more easily.
• Wrong shampoo - just wash your hair with supermarket shampoo? Don't! These shampoos are often not as gentle on your hair as higher-quality shampoos. You may pay a bit more, but you get something in return. After all, we do want to go through life with beautiful hair colour and healthy hair, don't we? Shampoos with harsh cleansers such as SLS and SLES are best avoided. Not sure which shampoo to choose for your coloured hair? We list our five favourite (based on customer experience and best buys) shampoos for coloured hair for you:

SachaJuan Colour Protect Shampoo First of all, this shampoo smells so good that you would want to wash your hair almost every day. Of course, we don't do this because this is very disastrous for hair colour when we talk about colour fading. This colour-protecting shampoo is made with Ocean Technology to prevent colour fading. Read more about the Ocean Technology here. This technology consists of a combination of algae species that really boost hair's elasticity, shine and, of course, colour retention. Combating colour fade is mainly thanks to the micro-emulsion technology used for this shampoo. Want to protect your hair with Ocean Technology too? Check out the entire range from Swedish brand SachaJuan.

Waterclouds Colour Shampoo- Waterclouds' colour-protecting shampoo is also fantastic. Personally, I am a total fan of Waterclouds. The smell, texture and action are perfect. This shampoo gently cleanses the hair and thus ensures that your hair colour does not go sallow. It also contains sea minerals that ensure you maintain shine. Last but not least, this shampoo also contains a UV filter that protects the hair! For the lucky ones among us who are going to catch some sun rays, this is ideal! Going on a trip and don't feel like travelling with bigger bottles? No worries, this Colour line also has a travel set! Buy your travel set here.

The perfect gift for in the shoe or under the Christmas tree;-). Check out Kevin Murphy's complete range here.

• Chlorinated water: the disinfecting effect of chlorine, has the same effect on the colour of your hair. Red shades in particular disappear like snow in the sun. If your hair is dyed blonde, a green glow may even appear in your hair. This is every woman with coloured hair's nightmare!
• Washing hair- If you wash your hair too often, chances are the colour will also fade quickly. Shampoos contain minerals that can damage hair colour. This also applies to permanent hair colouring. Try to wash your hair a maximum of three times a week. Is your hair greasy and in need of a refresh? Then go for a dry shampoo. A dry shampoo will make your hair look fresh and fruity again. Our favourite dry shampoo is Waterclouds' Dry Clean Hairspray Dry Shampoo. Our customers also find this one of the finest dry shampoos we have. Order your dry shampoo here.
• Professional hair dye. Stop using cheap dye packs whose results disappear in no time . Go for professional advice from a hairdresser or someone who knows a lot about it! That way you can be sure you are going for quality. In the end, it is all about your cut!

Tips om je haarkleur te beschermen

Hoe mooi het haar er ook mag uitzien nadat je het gekleurd hebt, goed is het niet voor je haar. Hoe vaker het haar gekleurd wordt, hoe meer het haar beschadigd raakt. Haarverf kan de buitenste laag van het haar beschadigen. Om het haar er alsnog vitaal uit te laten zien, zijn er een aantal dingen die je kunt doen. We geven je graag een aantal tips mee, zodat je het beste uit je coupe kunt halen!

• Was je haar minder.
• Douche niet te heet.
• Use a conditioner for coloured hair. The Waterclouds Colour conditioner. This conditioner stimulates keratin fibres, so the colour of the hair stays longer!
• Be careful with heat tools. Always use heat-protective hair products. Too much heat can also cause the colour to fade.
• Spoel het haar na elke zwembeurt.
• Use a hair mask at least weekly. Our beauties love to use SachaJuan's hair mask.
• Sla anti-roos shampoo over! Door de PH waarde van de anti-roos shampoo worden de kleurpigmenten uit het haar getrokken en krijg je een doffe kleur. 

With these tips and the right hair products, your new hair colour is guaranteed to last longer! Do you have coloured hair and want to try out SachaJuan 's hair mask?
