Before-and-after Hair Color Tips To Sport Trendy Looks Effortlessly!

Coloring your hair is a great way to amp up your look and give yourself a total makeover. It gives you a brand-new appearance and adds dimension to your personality. If you’re planning to give yourself a similar transformation, there are a few before-and-after hair color tips you should follow to achieve your dream look while keeping your hair healthy.

You may have heard stories of hair color going wrong, but there’s no need to worry if you prep your hair well before coloring and follow a good care routine after. Whether you choose a natural hair color or a no-ammonia hair color, these simple tips will help you get vibrant, shiny, and long-lasting results.

Before Hair Color Tips

1. Oil A Few Day Before Coloring

Pamper your hair with a nourishing oil treatment a few days before applying color. This strengthens your strands and preps them to absorb the hair color evenly. Healthy hair holds color better and maintains its shine longer, especially when using a no-ammonia hair color.

2. Avoid Washing On The Coloring Day

Avoid shampooing right before coloring. Washing your hair can strip away natural oils that protect your scalp. These oils act as a barrier, reducing irritation and helping the hair color adhere better to your hair.

3. Use A Gentle Shampoo

A day before coloring, cleanse your hair with a mild shampoo to remove dirt, grime, and buildup. This ensures your strands are clean enough to soak up the natural hair color evenly. Avoid using conditioner right before coloring, as it can create a barrier that prevents color from setting properly.

4. Pick The Right Hair Color

Choose a shade that complements your skin tone and enhances your natural features. If you prefer subtle, healthy-looking results, opt for a no-ammonia hair color that provides full grey coverage without damaging your strands. These formulas are gentle on your scalp and help maintain softness and shine. Not sure where to start from? Head to the Garnier Hair Color Virtual-Try-On tool to find the perfect shade for you.

5. Make Sure To Do A Patch Test

The color result depends on your current hair shade and texture, so always do a strand test before full application. This not only helps you preview the final color but also ensures you’re not allergic to any ingredient, a crucial step, especially when trying new or no-ammonia hair color formulas.

After Hair Color Tips

1. Don’t Wash Hair Immediately

Avoid washing your hair right after coloring. Wait at least 48 hours to allow the color to settle. Frequent washing can cause premature fading, so limit washes to twice a week for long-lasting results.

2. Conditioning Your Hair Is A Must

Coloring can make your hair dry and fragile, so always follow up with a nourishing conditioner. It locks in moisture, adds softness, and protects your new hair color from fading quickly.

3. Avoid Heat Styling

Heat styling tools like straighteners or curlers can strip moisture and dull your color-treated hair. Limit their use and always apply a heat protectant serum before styling. This helps prevent frizz, breakage, and color damage.

4. Protect Your Hair From The Sun

Exposure to UV rays can fade and weaken color-treated hair. Shield your hair from direct sunlight by covering it with a scarf or hat whenever possible.

5. Maintain A Healthy Diet

Strong and healthy hair starts from within. Include protein-rich and vitamin-loaded foods in your diet to keep your colored hair shiny, vibrant, and nourished from the roots.
