10 Regular Trims
• Details: Regular trims help prevent split ends and breakage, promoting healthier hair growth.
• Purpose: To maintain the health and appearance of your hair, preventing the need for more drastic treatments
later.
By following these precautions, you can help ensure that your hair remains healthy, strong, and vibrant, minimizing
the risk of damage from treatments and environmental factors.
Steps of after care
Aftercare is crucial to maintain the health and longevity of your hair following any treatment, be it coloring, chemical
treatments, or a simple hydration therapy. Here are the steps for effective aftercare:
1 Wait Before Washing
• Details: After coloring or chemical treatments, wait at least 48-72 hours before washing your hair. This
allows the color to set and the cuticle layer to close, locking in the treatment.
• Purpose: To ensure the effectiveness of the treatment lasts longer.
2 Use Sulfate-Free Shampoos and Conditioners
• Details: Choose gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners that are specifically designed for treated
hair. These products are less likely to strip hair of its natural oils and the treatment it has undergone.
• Purpose: To maintain the health and vibrancy of your treated hair.
3 Condition Regularly
• Details: Use a deep conditioning mask or leave-in conditioner at least once a week to keep your hair
hydrated and nourished.
• Purpose: To restore moisture and elasticity, especially after chemical treatments that can leave hair dry and
brittle.
4 Limit Heat Styling
• Details: Reduce the frequency of using heat styling tools. When necessary, use a heat protectant spray to
minimize damage.
• Purpose: To prevent heat damage and keep hair healthy.
5 Avoid Chlorine and Salt Water
• Details: Wear a swimming cap in pools and avoid salt water, or rinse your hair with fresh water immediately
after swimming.
• Purpose: Chlorine and salt can strip hair of its color and moisture, leading to dryness and damage.
