What should I do if I wash my hair after dyeing it

For those who love beauty, dressing up beautifully and getting a hairstyle they like will not only make them look more beautiful, but also enhance their temperament. Most people wait three days before washing their hair after dyeing it. Many people don’t know the reason. Some people wash their hair directly after dyeing it, not even a day has passed. So what should they do if they wash their hair after dyeing it?

Why can you wash your hair three days after dyeing it?

This is because the hair that has just been dyed has not actually completely locked in the pigment, so it takes 48 hours to complete the "color fixing" process. Therefore, you need to wait for three days after dyeing to keep the hair color longer. After all, no one wants to spend so much money to dye their hair and then return to its original shape after a few days.

If you dye your hair in the hot summer and have short hair, and you really can't stand not washing your hair for three days, you can wash it every other day. However, you must remember that you cannot wash your hair on the day of dyeing. This is not only for the purpose of fixing the color, but more importantly, the oil secreted by the scalp is actually equivalent to a natural protective film, which can protect the scalp and reduce the damage caused to the scalp by hair dye after dyeing.

In fact, there is another key issue about hair dyeing that is just as critical as not washing your hair within three days after dyeing, but in comparison it has not received enough attention, that is, you cannot wash your hair before dyeing. However, there is no accurate time standard. Generally speaking, it is better not to wash your hair two to three days before dyeing your hair. This is to avoid scalp allergies and other injuries caused by scalp damage during dyeing (washing your hair involves scratching the scalp with nails, which can easily cause scalp damage).

Also, if you have just had your hair cut, it is best not to dye your hair immediately. Dyeing your hair right after a hair cut will make it easier for the hair dye to penetrate into the hair core, causing hair damage. Therefore, it is better to wait for some time before dyeing your hair after cutting it.

If you want the dyed hair to have a longer-lasting color, you can choose special shampoo and conditioner with color-protecting effect, which can provide more professional care for the hair, or choose a shampoo with lower alkaline content and more gentleness. The water temperature when washing your hair should not be too high to prevent color loss caused by excessive water temperature. Also, make sure the hair is fully moistened before using shampoo, and avoid dry cleaning.

It is easy to dye hair, but difficult to fix the color. If you want to have beautiful hair, especially dyed hair, you have to work hard. Also, the water temperature for washing your hair after dyeing should not be too high, and you should not wash your hair before dyeing, so that you can grow beautiful hair.
