Star Light On My Mind

In our busy lives, we often neglect the most important part of ourselves: our hair. We spend countless hours in the shower or at the salon and then just let it air dry after treatment. But what many people don’t realize is that they are doing their hair a huge disservice by not taking care of it post-treatment too. A few simple tips will keep your locks looking healthy and vibrant for weeks to come!

Tips for Keratin Treated Hair

If you have just had keratin treatment, your hair is going to be particularly vulnerable in the first week or so. So it’s important to take extra care of it and give it some TLC. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or styling tools on your hair in the first week after treatment. Also, make sure to use the best shampoo and conditioner for keratin treated hair that is designed for this hair type.

Tips for Dyed Hair

Protect your hair color by using a shampoo and conditioner that are designed for dyed hair. These products will help to maintain your hair color and keep it looking vibrant. Along with that, a deep conditioner can help to repair any damage that has been done to your hair. It will also help to add moisture and shine to your hair. Heat styling tools can cause damage to your hair, so it is best to avoid using them as much as possible. If you do need to use them, make sure to use a heat protectant product first. Also, don’t forget to stay away from chlorine and saltwater. Chlorine and saltwater can both be very damaging to your hair. Chlorine can cause your hair to become dry and brittle, while saltwater can make your hair become overly dry and crispy. If you are going to be swimming in a pool or the ocean, make sure to wet your hair before getting in the water. This will help to seal the cuticle and protect your hair from chlorine or salt.

Tips for Permed Hair

After your perm, wait at least two days before shampooing your hair. This will give the perm time to set and will ensure that your hair stays curly. After that, use a mild shampoo for permed hair, and be sure to rinse thoroughly. Use a conditioner after every shampoo and be sure to massage it into your scalp. Be gentle with your hair when you brush it or style it. Avoid using hot tools if you can help it! Let your hair air dry as much as possible – the less heat you put on it, the better!

Some General Tips to Follow after a Hair Treatment

• Avoid using heavy products, like hairspray and gels, on wet hair. These products can weigh down your hair and make it look greasy. If you need to use the product, apply it sparingly to the roots of your hair.
• Be gentle when brushing or combing your hair. Brushing and combing your hair too harshly can damage it and cause split ends. Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle your hair before you brush it, and brush it gently from root to tip.
• If you have long hair, try to avoid tying it back in a tight ponytail or bun. Tying your hair back too tightly can cause tension headaches and damage your hair. Instead, try wearing it loose or in a messy bun.

Conclusion

Now that you know how to properly maintain your hair after treatment, it’s time to get started on your new and improved look. These useful tips will help keep your hair healthy and looking great for weeks (or even months) after your appointment. So go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back; you deserve it!
