Hoe onderhoud je gekleurd haar? Tips, do’s & don’ts.

Coloured hair requires attention. Whether you dye your hair yourself or visit a hairdresser, you want to enjoy your new, fresh hair colour for as long as possible. We can imagine that this makes it difficult to determine what your hair needs or which products to avoid to protect your hair colour from fading. To get you started, we have made an overview of all the do's & don'ts when caring for and protecting your coloured locks. So read on!

Don’ts bij gekleurd haar

Het haar te vaak wassen

Washing hair too often is disastrous for coloured locks. The minerals in shampoos can damage hair colour and make it fade faster. Moreover, many shampoos contain sulphates: aggressive, cleansing substances that cleanse the hair and scalp and make the shampoo foam. To protect your hair colour, we therefore recommend using sulphate-free shampoos and washing hair no more than three times a week. Does your hair look greasy but want to put off washing it for a while? Then use a dry shampoo to freshen up the roots.

Hittetools gebruiken zonder bescherming

Using heat tools without heat protection is definitely a don't. Too hot a temperature causes hair colour to fade faster and makes hair look dull and dry. Moreover, too high a temperature is very damaging to hair and makes your hair break off faster. And of course we don't want that! So always use a heat protector before using curling or straightening irons.

Blootstelling aan zon, zee- en zwembadwater

Kan jij ook wel uren “bakken” op het strand en kun je niet wachten tot je weer een duik in het zwembad kunt nemen? Houd er rekening mee dat zon, zee- en zwembadwater funest zijn voor gekleurde lokken. Zo kunnen deze factoren leiden tot vervaging van de haarkleur en het uitdrogen van het haar. Het is daarom belangrijk om vooral in de zomer je haar optimaal te beschermen tegen invloeden van buitenaf.

Te heet douchen

In koudere tijden kan een warme douche goed doen. Helaas zijn vele van ons zich er niet van bewust dat een te hete douche erg schadelijk is voor het haar. Heet water opent namelijk niet alleen je poriën, maar ook je haarschubben waardoor de verf uit je haar kan ontsnappen. Wanneer je je haar uitspoelt met koud of lauw water blijft de kleur langer mooi en droogt het minder snel uit. 

Do's

Gebruik de juiste shampoo

How long coloured hair stays beautiful depends not only on the hair type but also on its care. Therefore, using a good shampoo is essential for preserving your hair colour. Thus, there are different types of shampoos for every hair colour and hair type. For example, silver shampoos for bleached hair. At JohnBeerens.com, we only work with the best brands to guarantee the quality of shampoos for coloured hair. Think of brands like Waterclouds, CHI, Kerastase and Redken. These shampoos ensure the protection of hair colour and preserve the hair's natural shine.

Gebruik een goede conditioner

That dyeing affects the condition of your hair is nothing new. During the colouring process, the hair cuticles are open, which makes the hair very vulnerable. It is therefore very important to use a conditioner after dyeing. A conditioner will close the hair cuticles and protect the hair. Moreover, you will notice that hair looks nicer and feels healthier and smoother after you wash it with a good conditioner. A conditioner restores and moisturises and makes sure your hair colour lasts longer. In short: a must-have in your hair routine.

Haarmaskers

Coloured hair requires attention and care. This makes sense, as dyeing hair is a huge detriment to the quality of your hair. To repair damage and protect your hair, it is therefore essential to use the right hair care and give your hair a little more attention. If you colour and/or bleach your hair regularly, we recommend using a hair mask. A hair mask provides an immediate improvement to the hair structure, and intensive nourishment from within.

Zon- en hittebescherming

When it comes to protection from heat and the sun, protecting the skin is often the only thing that comes to mind. Yet the hair should definitely not be forgotten in this regard either. Using a heat tool such as a straightener, blow-dryer or curling iron, as well as baking in the sun for hours on end, is very damaging to your hair. A heat protector is therefore indispensable in your hair routine if you want to optimally protect your hair from heat and the sun. Moreover, a heat protector not only has a protective function, but also a caring factor. For instance, you can also choose a heat protectant that also provides a nice shine. A win-win!
