If you have bleached or conventionally colored hair, there are a few important steps to follow. Chemical dyes, bleaching, and perms can damage the internal structure of your hair, leaving it weakened. To transition effectively, you’ll need to repair this damage first. Here’s how to adjust your routine:
- Use hair oil before each wash and a conditioner afterward.
- Before applying color, treat your hair at least twice with colorless Senna Cassia to help repair structural damage. Depending on your desired shade, you can also use ColorPrep once.
- If you want a darker shade than light brown, or if you’re using ash tones like dark blonde, ash brown, or dark brown, apply ColorPrep beforehand.
- Start with shorter processing times (20-30 minutes for both ColorPrep and coloring) and gradually increase over time.
