Damaged hair after colour or bleaching, what to do?

After colouring the hair too many times, it has become damaged, what to do? Are there any remedies for colour-treated hair? Does bleaching ruin hair? Are curls ruined by colour? Together we try to answer the many questions

Damaged treated hair

Damaged and treated hair is dull, frizzy, difficult to manage and brittle after treatments. Colouring and bleaching in themselves do not ruin the hair, there are a number of causes that contribute to worsening the condition of the hair. Here are some of these causes: external agents (air pollution, hard water, etc.), the state of health (vitamin deficiency, iron, stress, medication), the nature of the hair itself (fine hair, for example, tends to be more fragile). Certain treatments can undoubtedly weaken the hair because they change its structure: dyeing, bleaching, perms, etc.

Bleaching and colouring: damaged hair?

Let’s therefore dispel the myth: colouring and bleaching do not in themselves ruin hair, but it is better to adopt certain tricks and techniques to prevent and care for treated hair, which needs more attention than natural hair.

Bleaching is a rather aggressive treatment that changes the normal structural, physical and chemical characteristics of the hair, decreasing its resistance. When you decide to bleach your hair, it is even more necessary to take care of your hair.

As far as colouring is concerned, hair dyes are the only ones that allow white hair to be covered for a long time. After dyeing, hair may be drier and break easily. Curls after dyeing may also be drier. This is normal because chemical colouring makes the hair porous, opening its scales that cover the hair shaft to allow pigments to penetrate.

Tips to remedy colour-damaged hair

It is therefore necessary to take constant care of both the scalp and the hair to prepare and maintain it for specific treatments such as colour and bleaching.

Choosing the right products to protect, nourish and moisturize the hair is therefore essential for regaining vitality and beauty. The use of nourishing and moisturizing products is therefore recommended. There are specific post-colour and colour-care treatments that can repair and seal the hair fibre and maintain the colour for longer.
