Beequeenhair will give you some useful tips to wash your color-treated hair without losing color.

Wait 3 days before shampooing

Our hair consists of two major part: hair root and hair shaft. Hair shaft include 3 layers: cuticle, cortex, and medulla. The outer layer named cuticle help to prevent damage to inner structure. The cells of cuticle layer are raised during chemical process, therefore the chemicals are allowed to enter into cortex layer that will change the color of your hair. Hair takes time to absorb color, that’s why if you wash your hair too soon, your color will be washed away since the cuticle layer still opens. It takes about 3 days for cuticle layer to completely close. The more you wait, the longer you can keep your color.

Use shampoo and conditioner containing sulfate-free

Sulfate is a kind of ingredients in many kind of shampoo which helps to create more foam. Many people like using shampoo with much foam because they believe that foam will help them wash their hair cleaner. However, besides washing away dust, using sulfate-containing shampoo also blow away your natural oil and moisture of your hair, leading to losing your beautiful color-treated hair.

That is why Beequeenhair highly recommend you to try sulfate-free shampoos and conditions to keep your color from being faded.
