Hair care after bleaching

The hair care steps after the color pulling process are summarized as follows:

  • Replacing regular shampoo with a sulfate-free shampoo, and the method of using it is to wet the hair with water, then distribute an amount of it on the scalp and massage it with the tips of the fingers, in order to get rid of any residue accumulated on its surface.
  • Drying the hair with a cotton towel to absorb excess water from it without causing the hair layer to peel off and dry.
  • Make a mask once a week, to replace lost moisture.
  • Using purple shampoo or conditioner every two weeks for bleached hair, as it preserves the color of the dye for longer periods.

Moisturizing hair after bleaching

A hair mask can be made after the color pulling procedure to replace lost moisture as follows:

  • The method of work:
    • Apply a deep conditioning treatment to hair from root to tip before showering.
    • Leave the mask on the hair for a period of 3 to 5 minutes.
    • Wash hair with water and shampoo.
  • An other way:
    • Heat an amount of olive oil, coconut oil or avocado oil in a bowl, in order to moisturize the hair core and nourish its follicles.
    • Distribute the hot mixture on the scalp and hair, and massage it for a few minutes in circular motions.
    • Wrap the head with a wet towel, or a piece of nylon, and leave the mask for the whole night.
