If you are seriously considering applying this color, you may be wondering how you can maintain it and what the price is of keeping it nice and shiny. Experts offer us the following advice in this regard:
- Wash your hair with products for colored hair: the secret to maintaining color is to use specific shampoos and conditioners for colored hair. Products with moisturizing and color-protecting ingredients will prevent the teddy bear fades away over time. Avoid shampoos with sulfates, as these can fade and “wash” the color faster. A good color-enhancing shampoo will keep the brown tone warm and radiant.
- Incorporates nourishing masks: dyed hair tends to become dehydrated, so choose a nourishing mask to keep it soft and prevent the appearance of split ends. Look for masks that contain natural oils, such as argan or coconut, as these ingredients restore lost moisture and add shine. Apply once a week, and you will see how your teddy bear remains in its maximum splendor.
- Use a heat protectant before using heat tools: Heat is the number one enemy of color, as it can cause hair to lose its reflections. If you are a fan of straighteners or curling irons, be sure to use a thermal protector to avoid damage and keep the color intact. Thermal protectors form a barrier that reduces moisture loss and protects color.
- Avoid too hot water when washing your hair: Washing your hair with hot water can open the cuticles and make the color fade faster. Opt for warm water to wash and rinse with cold water to seal the cuticle. This trick is key to keeping the color brighter for longer.
- Add a touch of shine with hair oils: The final touch for color maintenance is the use of hair oils. One or two drops of oil applied to the ends will add shine and softness without weighing the hair down. Plus, natural oils lock in moisture and prevent frizz, leaving your teddy bear perfect for any occasion.
