ConclusionDos for Long-Lasting Hair Colour During Winter
1. Use a Natural Hair Colour
Choose a hair colour without harsh chemicals like ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, or PPD, as these can weaken your hair and make the color fade quickly. Indus Valley’s natural hair colors, like the Gel Hair Color or Henna and Indigo combo, offer rich, long-lasting color while keeping your hair healthy and safe.
2. Prep Your Hair Before Colouring
To help your hair hold color better, start prepping about a week before you dye it. Apply Indus Valley’s Pure Aloe Vera Gel to keep your scalp moisturized and calm. Then, use a nourishing hair mask like the Hibiscus and Rosemary Hair Growth Mask to give your hair extra hydration and boost color retention.
3. Lock in Moisture Regularly
Cold weather can dry out your hair, which can lead to dullness and fading. To keep it hydrated, try using a little of Indus Valley Daily Gentle Shampoo. This shampoo helps lock in moisture, keeping your hair soft and vibrant so your color lasts longer.
4. Limit Heat Styling
Using heat tools like straighteners and curlers too often can fade your hair color. If you need to style with heat, make sure to protect your hair first. Indus Valley Aloe Vera Gel works as a natural heat shield, keeping your hair smooth, hydrated, and helping to maintain your color.
5. Use a Color-Protective Shampoo
After coloring, switch to a color-safe shampoo, like Indus Valley Colour Protective Shampoo, which is designed to prevent fading while cleansing gently. Avoid shampoos with sulfates, as these can strip color and leave your hair looking dull.
Don’ts for Long-Lasting Hair Colour During Winter
1. Avoid Washing Hair Frequently
Frequent washing can fade color faster, so try to limit washing to 2-3 times a week. Dry shampoo can be your best friend during winter, helping to refresh hair without needing a wash.
2. Say No to Hot Water
Hot water can open up the hair cuticle, causing color to fade faster. Instead, rinse your hair with lukewarm water and finish with a cool rinse to seal the cuticle and lock in color.
3. Don’t Skip Deep Conditioning
Winter air is dry and can leave hair dehydrated, especially after coloring. Use Indus Valley Deep Conditioning Treatment with Coconut Malai and Kasturi Haldi Ubtan at least once a week. This will restore moisture, strengthen hair, and enhance color longevity.
4. Avoid Products with Harsh Chemicals
Hair products with alcohol, sulfates, and parabens are detrimental to color-treated hair. These chemicals strip away moisture and fade color. Indus Valley organic hair care line is free from these ingredients, so you can feel safe knowing your color will last longer.
5. Don’t Neglect Sun Protection
Even during winter, UV rays can fade your hair color. Protect your hair by wearing a hat or using a leave-in conditioner with UV protection. Indus Valley Aloe Vera Gel, with its natural sun protection properties, can be applied as a light shield on colored hair.
