While it is important to chop off damaged hair before you dye them, some damage that comes with hair colouring is inevitable, especially on the ends. Trimming them prevents the damage from spreading.

Hair colouring also causes protein damage. If you notice your hair easily stretches and snaps off it’s a sign that it lacks protein. Nourishing your hair with a protein rich formula is one of the easiest ways to restore the lost protein. Applying an egg and mayonnaise mask to your hair once a week and leaving on for 45 minutes ensures healthy, shiny and smooth hair.

 

Avoid the sun

Protect your hair from the harmful rays of the sun as it can weaken and damage the pigment. This causes early fading and leaves you with a hair colour several shades lighter than you wished for. Wear a hat or a scarf to protect hair and make the dye last longer.
