We put our hair through many chemical treatments despite knowing its side effects. This can make hair brittle and dry, and lead to hair loss. Fortunately, taking good care of yourself and using the right products after hair treatment can help prevent problems.
Hair care tips to follow after hair treatment
Chemicals are used during hair treatments, and they may be doing more harm than good to your scalp. If you neglect them, the condition of your hair may deteriorate. Therefore, it is important to maintain a healthy hair care routine after treatment. Here are 5 hair care tips that you can follow!
1. Avoid using too many chemicals
A common tip is to choose the right type of shampoo and conditioner for your hair concerns. Your hair has just been exposed to a lot of chemicals during treatment so it’s time to start using gentle, chemical-free hair care products. Start by switching to a shampoo and conditioner without sulfates.
Those who frequently brush or dye their hair should use a shampoo with color inhibitors to prevent fading or bleeding. Choose a conditioner that goes well with your shampoo, improves the texture of your hair and leaves it smooth.
2 Do not use too many heat tools
If you choose chemical treatments such as hair straightening, straightening and bonding, your hair is exposed to enough heat. Minimize the use of styling equipment such as curlers and blow dryers to prevent breakage and dryness.
Be careful when using hot hair dryers and straighteners. If possible, keep them away while letting your hair dry naturally. In general, they are harmful in the long run, especially for natural hair. They are more difficult on chemically treated hair because your hair is already dry.
3. Avoid washing hair in hot water
Hair is damaged by heat, including that from the sun, hair dryers and hot water taps. It makes heat the main cause of hair dryness. While you can’t completely avoid heat, you can reduce heat damage by washing your hair in a cool setting.

4. Be gentle with your hair
Remember that being gentle is important if you want to prevent more knots, split ends, and breakage. Use a microfiber towel to absorb excess water from your hair if you have frizzy hair. To keep it hydrated, use an argan oil hair serum. You should let your hair dry naturally rather than blow drying it every day. Although it may take longer, air drying will prevent serious damage to your hair.
5. Deeply nourishes your hair
Use a deep mask once a month for extra nourishment. Add a few drops of hair serum to your conditioner or mask. Apply this mixture to the length of your hair avoiding the scalp area. After about 30 minutes to one hour, rinse with water. This will act as a deep conditioning mask and make the hair shiny. Oil your hair at night at least once a week to bring back its former shine.
So ladies, follow these tips and protect your hair from damage!
