Oiling Hair after Color: After coloring the hair, we all want that color to stay for a long time and the hair remains like a salon in the hair. But often a question bothers – should oil be applied after color? And how many days should hair be washed after? Actually, after hair color, hair needs are slightly different. In such a situation, if care is taken properly, then the color not only lasts long but also the hair remains healthy and shiny. Let’s know the answers to these questions revolving in the mind and some easy but effective tips.
Is it right to apply oil immediately after hair color
It is not considered right to apply hair oil immediately after the color. First 3-4 days, keep the hair away from any kind of oil so that the color can be set well in the hair. Otherwise the color can come down quickly and the glow also decreases.
When and how to do the oil
Oil can be started with light hands about 4–5 days after the color. Use mild oils like coconut, argon or almond oil and keep it only for 30-45 minutes. Keeping oil for too long can fade the color.
When to wash hair
The first hair wash should be done at least 48 hours after the color. This makes the color set properly in the hair and does not fed quickly. Always use sulfate-free and color-paint shampoo for the first wash.
Do not make this mistake after oining for shiny hair
If you use a harsh shampoo after applying oil, both the benefits of oil and the glow of hair can end. Always use mild shampoo and deep conditioner so that hair moisture and glow remains.
Take care of hair mask and deep conditioning
Color hair is specially needed for moisture. Do hair mask or deep conditioning once a week. This will prevent hair breakage and shine will remain intact. You can also try a natural hair mask made of curd, honey and eggs at home.
Protect hair from sunlight and pollution
After the color, sunlight and pollution can make hair quickly dry and lifeless. While exiting, use the scarf or cap and avoid touching the hair again and again.

Do not wash more than twice a week
Wash hair with lukewarm water instead of hot water
Use styling tools (hair dryer, straightener)
Apply a light coat of hair serum so that the shine remains.
