Why do salons wash your hair after coloring?

The reason why your stylist does it is because there are a number of benefits to washing your hair after coloring.

1. It helps to spread the dye evenly across your strands.

In addition, if you color your hair at home with an at-home dye kit, it is important to wash your hair immediately after coloring to remove any excess pigments that may not have been rinsed out during the coloring process.

2. It helps to keep your color looking fresh and vibrant.

In order to preserve your color, it is best to wash your hair with a shampoo and conditioner that are specifically formulated for colored hair.

3. It prevents your hair from fading too quickly.

One of the biggest problems that can happen to color-treated hair is fading. The most common cause of fading is sun exposure, so it is important to stay out of direct sunlight whenever possible.

4. It helps to protect your hair from damage and breakage.

Using a shampoo and conditioner specially formulated for colored hair can help protect your color from fading, as well as reduce the amount of breakage you experience.

5. It makes your hair feel cleaner and healthier.

Getting your hair colored at the salon is an incredible experience, but it can be hard to maintain your new look at home. Here are a few tips from VanDyke's professional colorists to keep your hair healthy and looking vibrant.
