If there is something that can help us revive our hair then that's a good oil massage. Oiling our hair and the scalp is the first step to reviving our hair. Ideally, you should oil your hair at least once a week. It adds the much-needed shine to your colored hair and also protects it from further damage.

You can choose from a host of hair oils like almond oil, argan oil, coconut oil, etc. But we prefer olive oil. What you need to do is just simmer the oil a bit and massage for a good 15 minutes. Follow this up with a steam treatment for half an hour, and wash it off with a mild sulfate-free shampoo.

Letting your hair dry naturally is the easiest way to avoid dry and damaged hair. Blow drying hair after every wash is fatal to your hair health. Instead, just use a towel to dry the excess water and then let it dry on its own.

If you end up blow-drying your hair for straightening or curling, do it only after using a heat protectant on your hair. Also, keep the dryer at least 15 cm away from your hair.

Try these hair care tips for colored hair, and you will never think twice before coloring your hair again.
