Hair colouring can give you a fresh new look, but it can also lead to dryness and damage if not cared for properly. Here are five ways hair colour affects your hair and how to prevent damage:

Hair dye strips moisture from hair strands, making them dry and brittle. Prevent this by using a deep conditioning treatment once a week to restore moisture and keep hair soft.

Frequent colouring can make hair look dull and lifeless. To prevent this, use a color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to maintain shine and vibrancy.

Chemical treatments weaken hair structure, leading to breakage and split ends. Trim your hair regularly and apply a leave-in conditioner to strengthen and protect hair strands.

Hair dye can cause itching, redness, and sensitivity on the scalp. Prevent this by doing a patch test before colouring and using gentle, ammonia-free dyes.

Exposure to sunlight, chlorine, and frequent washing can cause hair colour to fade quickly. Prevent this by wearing a hat in the sun and using a UV-protectant spray for hair.
