for Damaged Hair After Colouring
Colouring your hair can give you an instant transformation, but it can also leave your hair feeling dry, brittle, and fragile. Whether you’ve gone for a bold platinum blonde or a rich brunette refresh, hair dye can strip your hair of moisture and damage its structure. Thankfully, with the right hair treatments, you can restore moisture, repair the damage, and keep your colour looking fresh and vibrant.
Hair dye works by opening the cuticle (the outer protective layer) to allow pigments to penetrate the strand. This process can strip the hair of its natural oils and weaken the protein structure, leading to:
Split ends
Frizz
Breakage
Faded colour
At Lotus Hair Salon in Camberwell, we understand how crucial it is to give your hair the proper care after colouring to prevent and repair these issues.
At Lotus Hair Salon, we offer a variety of professional hair treatments designed to restore and nourish your colour-treated hair. Here are our top picks:
If your hair feels weak and brittle after colouring, Olaplex is a must-try treatment. It’s perfect for reversing damage caused by chemical processes.
How it works: Repairs broken disulfide bonds inside the hair shaft that are caused by chemical treatments.
Best for: Bleached or lightened hair that feels weak or stretchy.
Salon tip: Pair Olaplex with your colouring session for damage prevention from the start.
Keratin helps to rebuild and smooth the protein structure in damaged hair, leaving it strong and manageable.
How it works: Fills in the gaps in your hair cuticle, making it stronger and smoother.
Best for: Frizz-prone or rough-textured hair after colouring.
Bonus: Adds a gorgeous shine that enhances your colour.
Hydration is key when it comes to restoring moisture to your colour-treated hair. A rich moisture mask can transform dry, straw-like hair into soft, shiny strands.
How it works: Ingredients like argan oil, shea butter, and avocado oil deeply nourish and soften hair.
Best for: Dry, damaged hair in need of a moisture boost.
DIY tip: Use once a week at home between salon visits for continued care.
A healthy scalp is the foundation of healthy hair. Our scalp treatments cleanse, nourish, and invigorate the roots for optimal hair health.
How it works: Removes buildup from hair products and dye, stimulates circulation, and nourishes the scalp.
Best for: Dryness or flakiness after colouring.
For a quick colour refresh, a gloss or glaze treatment can add a touch of brilliance to your hair without needing to re-dye it.
How it works: Adds a layer of shine and seals the cuticle, locking in moisture and adding vibrancy.
Best for: Reviving faded colour and adding instant luminosity.
Maintaining healthy, vibrant hair after colouring takes more than just the occasional treatment. Here are a few tips to keep your hair looking its best:
Use sulfate-free shampoos to avoid stripping your colour.
Minimise heat styling or always use a heat protectant to avoid further damage.
Schedule regular trims to prevent split ends.
Protect your hair from UV rays with a hat or UV protectant spray.
Colouring your hair doesn’t have to result in permanent damage. With the right treatments and at-home care, you can keep your hair healthy, strong, and vibrant for longer. At Lotus Hair Salon, we specialise in custom hair treatments designed to restore and nourish your hair, so you can enjoy beautiful colour and healthy, glossy strands.
