Deepika Padukone, one of the leading actresses in our country today, is also considered to be a very fashionable one by many of us. She looks great in her funky attire, beautiful in traditional attire and she is also known to experiment with her looks, especially her long hair, on many occasions. She, like many other models, actresses and celebrities, has made many changes to her hair, including colouring them, getting highlights and trying different haircuts. Many people are inspired by the hair experiments done by famous people (including men and women) and like colouring their hair, getting them streaked or highlighted.
If you are one of those, who is planning to play with hair colours, or have already done so but are not sure how to take care of your hair now, then here are some useful hair care tips for you:
Select the hair colour and type with a lot of care. Most hair colours contain ammonia, which is a bleaching agent, but which is necessary to make the hair colour last long. So see the ammonia content and make your decision. You can also decide if you want to retain the colour for a long time or if you want it permanently or for just one occasion. Doing a patch test is always advisable before you spend a lot of money and time in getting your hair coloured.
Before you get your hair coloured, keep it away from hair treatment chemicals for at least a month but be sure to keep it well nourished with conditioners and hair oils. This will not only repair any existing damages to the hair, it will also reduce the damage your hair will suffer from the colouring process.
After your hair is coloured, try and use as many natural conditioners as possible, rather than going for the bottled and chemical varieties. Go to a spa and ask for them to mix one of their natural conditioners. One such recipe includes bananas, eggs and yoghurt, mixed well and left in the hair for at least an hour being rinsing it away.
Use a hair and colour protecting shampoo and conditioner once you have coloured your hair. The bottles packages now-a-days specify the ones that are meant to be used for coloured hair specifically.
Include a lot of hot oil massages and hair conditioning sessions in your spa, rather than just opting for a quick cleansing wash. The infusion of extra oil and conditioners will help keep the hair remain soft and shiny even after you have coloured them.
Other hair masks that you can try include bananas and honey or mayo and eggs.
Do not blow dry your hair after you have coloured them. This will only leave them looking drier and damaged than usual. Let your hair dry naturally so that they retain their original bounciness and softness.
Don’t worry about colouring your hair now, even the specialists providing the best hair treatment in Gurgaon will advise you to follow these before and after steps and you’ll fall in love with your hair every day!
