It’s no secret that coloured hair can become coarse and dry, requiring massive amounts of TLC. Luckily, there’s good news for dye-hard fanatics. You can repair, style and maintain coloured hair with KeraStraight’s award-winning formulas.
How does hair dye cause damage?
In order for a colour to take to your hair it needs to be able to penetrate the cuticle (the hair’s outer protective layer), and get to the hair’s inner structure where colour sits. Ammonia is the chemical found in hair dyes which raises the cuticle and allows the colour in. Unfortunately, it upsets and damages once perfectly sleek cuticles too.
Peroxide also wreaks untold havoc on hair. It breaks down the hair’s natural pigment, destroying natural hair colour in the process. Vital moisture is contained in this pigment, so by removing it the peroxide is draining your hair of life – leaving you with dehydrated, weak, coarse and even straw-like hair – Not. Beautiful.
I want mermaid-worthy hair! What should I do?
While a certain amount of damage is to be expected when colouring hair, there are plenty of ways to dramatically reduce it. We always suggest getting professional advice before you colour. After all, a bad dye-job isn’t cheap or easy to fix.
There are also new ways to mitigate the damage before, during and after colouring. INNOluxe, a new colour additive launched by KeraStraight’s founders Jez Barnett and John Hubbard, is a revolutionary range of protein hair repair solutions designed to repair the hair during the colouring process. This in-salon treatment can also create a perfect foundation for colour and other chemical services – strengthening and repairing hair from root to tip faster than chemicals can cause damage.
