When not properly cared for, dyed and curled hair can quickly become dry, brittle, lose its color, and lose its style. Today, we will discuss some common daily mistakes in caring for dyed and curled hair that you should avoid!
1 Avoiding exposure to high temperatures
According to hairstylist Michelle Cleveland, exposing your hair to heat can cause damage. Therefore, it is important to avoid using heat styling tools and washing your hair with hot water.
Washing your hair with hot water may provide a relaxing experience, but it can actually make your hair dry, weak, and less soft, smooth, and shiny. It is recommended to wash your hair with cold or lukewarm water instead.
Additionally, excessive use of styling tools can also cause the dye to fade quickly. It is advisable to limit the use of these devices or apply a hair protectant before using them to minimize damage.

2 Avoiding hair care products containing alcohol/strong detergents
When choosing hair care products, it is important to pay attention to the ingredient list. For dyed or curled hair, products with high alcohol content, such as hair sprays, or products with strong detergents can make the hair dry, prone to breakage, lose color quickly, and lack vitality.
Using such products for an extended period of time can also weaken the scalp and lead to a flaky scalp.
Fortunately, there are many organic hair care products available on the market that are gentle yet effective in nourishing and cleansing the hair. It is worth considering these options.

3 Using conditioner for optimal hair care
After dyeing or curling your hair, it requires extra moisture compared to normal hair. Therefore, using a conditioner can deeply moisturize the hair after washing, prevent dryness, maintain shine, protect color, and help the style last longer.
Consider using specialized conditioners for optimal hair nourishment.

4 Avoid washing hair too frequently
One of the most common mistakes is washing your hair too often. Overwashing can lead to dry hair and scalp, quick fading of color, dullness, and loss of curls.
It is recommended to wash your hair only 2-3 days per week to maintain cleanliness, healthy shine, and beauty.

5 Protecting hair when going outside
No matter how well you nourish your hair, if you don’t protect it when going outside, it will be challenging to maintain its beauty. Sunlight, pollution, and other external factors can have a negative impact on your hair. It is advisable to wear a hat, cover your hair, and apply sunscreen specifically for your hair before going outside to protect it.
