Clean hair

Hair is nothing but  a form of skin, it is made up of a protein called keratin.
Hair is made up of scales and when you abuse them by coloring , shampooing, straighteners , dryers and anything else that you do to your hair that may cause it to look dry or look like you have splitting ends or brittle hair.
The hair in your scalp makes its own natural oils that keeps your hair looking "healthy"  but people usually don't like for their hair to look oily so they over wash their hair to make your hair not look oily and dirty.

Every time you shampoo your hair you need to make sure that you put conditioner in it to make sure that you prevent damage to your hair and  also put moisture back into your hair.

Here are some coloring tips from haircoloringuide.com



Hair Color Tips:
  1. Highlighting is a great way to add tone to monochromatic hair (jet black, pure brown).
  2. Beware of hair colors that have green, blue, or purple undertones, like “ash”. If you mix them with warm tones, your hair color will turn out green.
  3. The levels (one to twelve) you see on hair coloring boxes are the lightness or darkness of the color. Level one is black (darkest) and level twelve is light blond.
  4. “Complimentary colors” are opposite each other on the color wheel. Blue-orange, violet-yellow, etc. If you want to neutralize unwanted highlights, choose the complementary color. For instance, red will cancel out an ash undertone, and an ashen color neutralizes any red highlights in your hair.
  5. Be sure to check if your hair color is a “progressive dye”. Progressive dyes continually add more color with each use. For instance, if you’re coloring blond hair black, your first use of a progressive hair color may not give the result you expected. However, continued use will turn your hair jet black.
  6. Hair colors, like perms, are chemically based. If you’re pregnant, be sure to check with your doctor before coloring your hair.
  7. Henna hair dyes are organic based hair colors that don’t mix well with chemicals.
  8. Stay out of the pool and the ocean after coloring your hair. Neither sea salt nor chlorine mixes well with chemical hair colors.
