Red hair: how to maintain your natural color?
Sporting naturally red hair is both a blessing (only 2% of the world's population can say that) and a huge responsibility. Flamboyant and delicate, red hair requires special treatment.
Natural red hair: opt for a henna shampoo
The natural pigments of red hair are very fragile, so it is important to take care of them. For this purpose, a henna shampoo is a good idea! Henna protects the color and brings out the highlights.
Furthermore, it is now (finally) possible to find repigmenting shampoos and other hair products for red, amber and copper hair.
Another solution: a treatment for colored hair, enriched with vitamins, to fix the color on the fiber.
Natural red hair: apply a highly nourishing mask
It's a fact, the red hair fiber is much thicker than average. This means that it is more difficult to nourish in depth. A shea butter or keratin mask then allows it to be hydrated and repaired effectively, and therefore to promote the flamboyance and shine of the color.
It is also possible to bet on natural by capitalizing on hibiscus, which prevents premature graying, madder powder, known for the red dye contained in its roots, or cinnamon, which gives warm highlights. How to do it? Prepare an infusion with these ingredients and apply it to the hair for a few moments, before rinsing, quite simply.
Natural red hair: perform a pigmented treatment
Carrying out a pigmented treatment regularly enough can give a boost to the natural color, revive its nuances and therefore magnify it.
Natural red hair: protecting hair from the sun and chlorine
Sun, chlorine (link to article: "Help, my color faded during the summer") and red hair do not mix well! It must be said that the latter are photosensitive, which means that the red color can fade in the event of prolonged exposure to UV rays. To counteract the harmful effects of the sun, we think about applying a leave-in treatment with a sunscreen.
As for chlorine, we try to limit splashing in the pool at the risk of seriously fading its color.
