How to Take Care of Colour Treated Hair
Our hair is our crowing glory and it's important that we take care of it very well. Having it styled in balayage is highly expensive and you wouldn't want the colour to fade away that quick. If you can afford an expensive balayage treatment, then surely you can afford to have it maintained as well.
First of all, you must avoid shampooing your hair more than three times a week. This dries our your hair and can damage it more than it can help.
Secondly, invest in a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. Sulfate free ones are pricier than the regular shampoo and conditioner. Using this type of shampoo and conditioner prevents chemical build up that could dry up and fade the color of your hair too quickly.
Thirdly, treat your hair to an Olaplex #2 once a week. Only Olaplex no. 2 can be done at home. The rest of the olaplex system is done only by a professional in a hair salon. This fixes frizzy and damaged hair, but won't smoothen it out. This treatment also helps build the hair back to how it was before your hair was bleached. It stops and prevents hair fallout.
Lastly, if you have bleached your hair into a light blonde color, make sure to use a purple shampoo and conditioner once a week. This helps you from lightening your hair and preventing it to get brassy.
So yes, it's expensive to have a beautifully treated hair.
