How Do I Keep My Coloured Hair Healthy?
Coloured hair can easily become very dry and damaged, so keeping it healthy is no easy feat!
When getting the colour you want requires both bleaching and colouring, our hair cuticle becomes over exposed and eventually damaged due to this process.
Keeping coloured hair healthy means hydrating it, avoiding over-washing your hair and nourishing it with the right treatments.
To help you figure out the do’s and don’ts of coloured hair, Chloe Nguyen explains her routine to us in easy steps.

Colour Maintenance Tips:
- To keep your colour intact, Chloe recommends that you avoid your hair at least 72 hours after colouring it. This helps the colour to seal itself in, and will also help to reduce fading.
- Chloe recommends reducing how often you wash your hair to 2-3 times a week. Washing your hair too often can strip the natural oils from your hair, causing it to become dry and brittle. Using a dry shampoo like the ELEVEN Australia Give Me Clean Hair Dry Shampoo 200ml can help!
- Don’t brush or pull at your hair when it is wet, your hair is at its weakest! Instead of using a towel, Chloe recommends you lightly ring out your hair with an old tshirt. This helps to avoid breakage.
- If you can, try to avoid heat styling in general. Heat styling can strip away colour over time without a good heat protectant. When blowdrying your hair use a medium-low heat setting.
