Tips for Hair Care for Bleached Hair

Bleaching hair has become very popular because it changes your hair's colour exactly the way you like it. Bleaching hair may make it look good, but it can also harm the quality of your hair and damage it.

Without proper care, the bleached hair becomes dry, brittle, and prone to hair breakage. This blog gives you five tips to keep your hair healthy and looking good after bleaching. Follow these tips to keep your hair strong, shiny, and beautiful.

  1. Avoid Heat Styling

    Since the bleaching process has already weakened bleached hair, it becomes more vulnerable to damage from heat. The use of heat styling tools, such as hair dryers, curling tongs, and straighteners, can significantly increase this damage, leading to hair breakage and further dryness.

    Alternative styling methods: So this summer, put away the hairdryer and curls opt for heat-free styling methods to protect your bleached hair. Whenever possible, air-dry your hair or use a blow dryer in a cool setting. Take a look at styling techniques such as braiding damp hair for natural waves or applying foam rollers for curls. These serve the purpose you get a stylish look but do so without heat.

  1. Apply Deep Conditioning Treatments

    Bleached hair requires more nutrients and hydration to fight dryness and brittleness. Deep conditioning treatments help to restore moisture, improve elasticity, and reduce hair breakage.

  2. How to Deeply Condition

    You should include a deep conditioning treatment in your hair care routine once a week. Look for products that are designed for damaged or bleached hair and that are formulated with keratin, argan oil, or shea butter.

    Apply on clean damp hair and allow treatment to sit on hair for its recommended time before rinsing out. To keep your hair warm, you can put on a shower cap. Another option is to wrap a warm towel around your head. You can also use a blow dryer on low heat.

  3. Protect Your Hair from the Sun

    Bleached hair can be easily damaged by the sun's UV rays. This can cause it to become frizzy, fade faster, dry out, and become brittle. Therefore, sun protection is a must for your hair to look healthy and radiant.

    Use a hat or scarf to cover up your head when outside in the daytime to save your hair from the sun's harmful rays. Use hair care products that protect against UV rays. Their patented technologies create a barrier against harmful sun rays, helping your hair retain moisture and its original colour.

  4. Regular Trims with Scalp Care

    Regular trims are the secret to maintaining bleached hair healthy. Getting a trim every six to eight weeks can prevent split ends, breakage, and keep your hair looking fresh and healthy.

    Scalp Care: Your scalp plays a critical role in promoting hair growth and overall hair health. Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner, formulated just for bleached or damaged hair.

    Make sure that your scalp is massaged with every hair wash. This massage of your scalp helps bring blood circulation to your scalps and stimulates hair growth. Consider using a scalp treatment or serum to nourish and soothe your scalp.

  5. Handle Chlorine with Care

    Another common use of bleach can be a disaster to already bleached hair. Chlorine is often found in swimming pools and can make your hair dry and brittle. No mention here that it can strip bleaching violets into a ghastly greenish cast to extremely light blonde hair.

    To protect your hair from chlorine, wet it with clean water before swimming to reduce chlorine absorption. Apply a leave-in conditioner or a protective hair treatment to create a barrier.

    Wearing a swim cap can also help protect your hair from chlorine exposure. After swimming, rinse your hair thoroughly with clean water and use a clarifying shampoo to remove any residual chlorine.

Conclusion

Proper care for bleached hair is essential to maintain its health, shine, and strength. To keep your hair healthy, avoid using too much heat. Deep condition your hair regularly.
