“What’s damaging the outer layer of hair and causing the color to fade?”

We often receive this question in the early spring from clients who have gotten highlights and lightened their hair.

The degree of damage may vary depending on the hair's part, but here are some of the most common factors for hair damages and color loss and how to protect your hair.

Cause 1: Exposure to UV rays

Prevention: To protect from sun damage, wear a hat and spray your cap with a UV cap.

Cause 2: Touchy hands

Prevention: “Don’t touch your hair. “ but if you can’t stop, apply hair treatment to avoid friction.

Cause 3: Physical damage from other objects

Prevention: If your hair is exposed to objects such as a handle from a handbag, tie it up to protect hair to avoid getting caught.

To make your hair color last longer, dye your hair twice with 2 different tones because your top color will fade and lighten gradually. This is especially true for ash colors, which tend to become lighter quicker. So keep those three causes and prevention to maintain beautiful, healthy hair.
