How to wash newly colored hair
Wait at least 2 to 3 days.Yes, that’s going to feel a bit icky, but it prevents hair color from fading. Hair stylists say that it can take up to 72 hours for cuticles to fully close and trap the color molecules. Beauty hack: if your hair feeling’s limp or greasy, brush baby powder into the roots, or tie it into a stylish ponytail.
When you finally wash it, use cold water. Hot water lifts the cuticle layers, which fades out the color and actually weakens your hair. Pick a shampoo for colored hair, and use every other day. Don’t forget conditioners and masks for extra moisture and shine.
