Should You Wash Your Hair Before Color?

The big old question: Wash before color, or not? It’s a myth that unwashed hair takes hair color better than squeaky-clean hair.

In fact, your colorist needs to see your actual color in order to determine the most flattering hue for you.

Product buildup can actually make your hair look darker!

Medications and vitamins not only go through your body but, come out of your pores and can build up on your hair shaft.

The Solution – Wash your hair before color

So how can you make sure you have the purest hair before getting a coloring service?

Start by using a chelating shampoo that gently strips your build-up off of your hair shaft before a color service. This ensures better gray coverage as a result.

Also, you can wash your hair gently the night before and let the shampoo do the work. You don’t want your scalp to become irritated.

So before your next appointment, suds up!
