HOW TO STOP HAIR DYE FROM DRYING OUT YOUR HAIR

Do you love your new hair colour but hate the way it can leave your hair dry and straw like?

If so you will be pleased to know that all is not lost. All you need to do is add one simple extra step to the colouring process so you end up with glossy, healthy hair to match the lovely new colour.

First let’s take a look at why this happens. Basically the culprits are chemicals in the dye that open up the hair shaft or cuticle to allow the colour to penetrate into the cortex. The cuticle usually lies flat and works to protect the cortex and maintain the moisture in the hair that keeps it looking healthy. Curly hair has a tendency to be dry as the cuticle doesn’t lie totally flat and as the chemicals open up the cuticle they make it more prone to drying out and vulnerable to damage.

The trick to countering the damage is to give your hair a deep conditioning treatment before you apply the colour.

Mashooq’s Deep Penetrating oil is a unique blend of six natural oils: sweet almond, coconut, olive, palm, sunflower and wheat germ that has been formulated to condition hair and protect it from the chemicals in the dye leaving it soft and supple. The oil is totally natural with no added chemicals.

When used with hair dye, the oil does not form a barrier but lies beneath the surface of the hair continuously conditioning it while allowing the chemicals to work on the hair shaft. So now you can colour without running the risk of damaging the hair.

HOW TO USE

For best results, apply the oil to your hair 10-20 minutes before applying the dye. (We will embed the video so the branding will be visible. ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36BUovv_O1Y

1. Divide your hair into small sections and using a tint brush apply the oil starting at the scalp and working towards the tips of the hair. Make sure you cover the entire length of the hair. The amount of oil you need will depend on the condition of your hair, use more for dry hair.

2. Next use your hands to massage the oil into the hair and scalp. This process works to open up the hair cuticle allowing the oil to penetrate. The oil will moisturise the scalp helping to improve the condition of the skin.

3. Wrap the oiled hair in a hot towel or cover with a shower cap. The heat will enable the oil to work its magic. As an added bonus, the oil protects the scalp and skin removing the need for barrier creams.

4. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to prepare your colour and add a teaspoon of oil to the chemicals and mix them together. Apply to the oiled hair and complete the process as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

5. If required you can apply a small amount of oil to damp hair before styling.

6. Deep condition regularlyto keep your hair soft, manageable and looking great.
