best over the counter shampoo for colored hair, from morgan, morgan emailed me because shereally wants to dye her hair a dark blonde color but she is deathly afraid of sufferinghair damage so she wants to know if hair dye is damaging on her hair and if she shouldgo ahead and dye her hair and if it will still be healthy so what i want to do is to giveyou some tips and suggestions and hair care
advice by helping you in regards to dyingyour hair and yes of course you can still have healthy hair as well so first what iwant to address is that yes inherently hair dye is damaging to hair but when you dye yourhair that doesn't mean you're going to suffer with hair damage so what i mean by this isby nature any chemical treatments you're going to put once your hair is damage on your hairis inflicting damage on your hair so even if your dying your hair to achieve a differentcolor your chemically altering the state of your hair so your hair is going to be strippedand its defense is going to be weakened in different ways so what's going to happen iswhen hair dye is being put onto your hair what’s going on is that the hair dye isreaching deep inside the hair shaft or hair
follicle and it's replacing your natural melanincolor that's already in your hair with a new color because this treatment is so invasiveon your hair this often leads you to lose in some natural protein that makes up thestructure of your hair and also this chemical treatment is going to weaken your hair's abilityto be able to maintain moisture so when you dye your hair its always common that you follow-upsome type of deep conditioning treatment or protein treatment to get your hair back toa healthy state so yes by nature hair dye is damaging because it's a chemical treatmentthat you're putting on your hair and then at the same time you can still have healthyhair if you follow-up with the right practices to make sure that you're going to have wellmoisturized and balanced hair with protein
as well so another tip that i'm going to giveis that i highly discouraging you or anyone to dye their hair if you know you are lazywhen it comes to taking care of your hair if you know you're not sleeping at night witha silk scarf all the time for you adding moisture to your hair when its all extra dry or you'renot manipulating your hair properly and you are just rushing through your hair if youknow you already have bad haircare practices dying your hair will only worsen the troublesso if you're the sole person that takes care of your hair and you're very good at doingthese things make sure your consulting with a professional in your area to dye your hairfor you and to give you some extra tips as well to help you to take care of your hairbut of course you are just going to make sure

what you have to do is bleach your hair totake out that melanin deposit and have pretty much a blank white canvas to deposit a colorthat you would like so by bleaching your hair this is going to inflict a lot of damage onyour strands and you specifically wanted to know in regards to hair dye because you wantto dye your hair a dark blonde color so you're pretty much going to be stepping into thearea of a permanent hair color treatment but there's plenty of other options as well likesemi-permanent rinses and even natural plant dies you can do with your hair so becauseyou're going into the realm of doing a chemical not chemical by a permanent hair color onyour hair you want to make sure that you are doing the necessary steps keep your hair moisturizedand balanced as well with protein and keep
