Maintaining silver hair is not always easy, especially when you experience yellowing and/or fading. Bleaching your hair to lighten it will always cause some damage resulting in dry, brittle hair and split ends. Below are the 7 best ways to maintain your silver hair and minimalize the damage.
1) After bleaching or coloring your hair always wait at least one week to 10 days for your hair to recover. It's important to use a sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and a Good conditioner after shampooing to help your hair recover-
2) It's best to always use lukewarm or cool water to shampoo and condition your hair. Cooler water to rinse your hair will help hair look smoother. Hot water is damaging to your hair and causes colored hair to fade sooner.
3) Use a Good shampoo while focusing on your scalp/roots. Conditioner should be used on the mid-length and ends of hair. Try leaving the conditioner on a couple of minutes longer than the directions state for better results.
Also try limiting the amount of times you wash your hair, dye fades faster when you wash your hair often.
4) Use a deep-conditioning hair mask once a week. Follow directions on timing.
5) Heat styling can cause your silver hair (every other hair color too) color to fade faster and is quite damaging. Let your hair dry naturally or use the cold setting on your blowdryer when your hair is half dry. Use the lowest heat settings when you do style your hair. No-heat methods are a good way to keep your hair healthier too.
6) If you must use heat you'll need heat protection when using any heat tool to style your hair, always apply a heat protectant throughout your hair(not on scalp) and style your hair after it's completely dried.
7) Use color-safe products and depositing shampoos in purple, blue or silver. If you notice a yellow tinge use purple or blue. If your color starts to fade use a silver or gray shampoo. You can use these types of shampoos once a week or more if needed. Don't use them too often or your hair can turn blue or purple.
