Similar to radiant skin, radiant hair is coated in natural oils that protect each strand and keep the hair elastic, smooth, and shiny. The scalp produces these oils in exactly the right amount to keep the hair lubricated. Synthetic hair products, even those marketed for treated and coloured hair, strip away these oils, irritate the scalp, and damage hair follicles. Some of the harsh chemicals in these products, such as sodium lauryl sulfate and oleyl betaine, can cause hair colour to fade fast. Instead of the full, shiny, smooth locks promised on the bottle the result is often dull, faded, and lifeless hair.
Living Libations' shampoos are great for coloured hair. Healthy looking hair sets the stage for dimensional colour and shiny strands. The day or night before you plan on applying colour, use Living Libations' super hydrating, heavenly Honey Myrtle Deep Conditioning Mask, or sleep with Shine On or True Blue Spirulina Conditioners in your hair overnight. This will prime hair and pave the way for luminous colour afterward. Plump strands of hair grab on to the dye and hold colour longer without fading. A few days after colouring your hair you may want to skip all hair products to give the dye ample time to set.
