❗️I know, sometimes you gotta sacrifice some things for beautiful hair! ✅Most important is directly after a coloring or lightening the hair, it is recommended that you wait for the hair to reach “homeostasis” by not stressing it more. It’s is more susceptible to absorbing anything right after it’s been chemically altered. 📝 Some steps you can take to ensure it gets there quicker is avoiding super hot water on your next wash, and using proper at home care to maintain your color. • This means using cleansers that are less harsh, and using at home treatments to help restore the hair back to its balanced state. . This doesn’t mean you can’t go in the pool or ocean, or just means give it a couple days before you do so! Also using a leave in like @trussprofessional Deluxe Prime before going in the water or soaking your hair is a great tool to keep your hair from absorbing salt water and chemicals! .
