Hair Color Oversaturation Problem I Think?
Q) Hair Color Oversaturation Problem? I am coloring my hair for a few years now. The hair seems to be laying in clumps now. Someone said it was due to over saturating with hair color.I now know to just do the roots but what can I do for my hair now to make it look full and not "clumpy"? The color is fine.It is the hair texture I guess. In the back instead of having smooth hair or curly hair the hair is semi straight but lays in 3 or 4 long vertical groups. Even after brushing or curling eventually during the day it seems to separate into these 3 or 4 groups.I am conditioning but maybe to enough or not using the correct products. A hair stylist said to was from over saturation of the color down at the far ends of my hair. Professional Hair Care Tips - I've never heard of this problem (exactly) from color oversaturation (laying in clumps or rows) but anything is possible! Without seeing your hair and feeling it, its hard to determine if its happening because of too much color or not. Have you tried a clarifying shampoo or one that contains jojoba or a Tea Tree Oil Shampoo If your hair is shoulder length or longer, then don't wash everyday. Just wash it every 3 days. You'll want to keep the natural oils in your hair. Its also good to rub your hands down your hair during the day to help smooth it down. (the oils from your hands will transfer onto your hair) After you recondition your hair, you might try a glaze on your hair. These place a protective coating your hair, and might make it lay down better for you and help correct the color oversaturation. Sure you can buy glazes for the color of your hair, but since you may have color oversaturation, use the clear glaze. (they are fine for all colors and add shine to the hair only) The clear formula doesn't add color but puts a glaze over the hair cuticle. (think about a glaze that you put on a cake. It goes on top of the cake but some seeps into the cake itself.) The glaze helps to temporarily rebuild your hair structure. This also protects it from further damage. After you have gotten most of the color out of your hair, you can use a color glaze like John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze-Medium Brown Feel free to use your hot rollers. Those are fine for your hair. (steam rollers are even better but the plain ones are fine too really.) Blow drying is also fine on lower settings. Be sure to give your hair a cool blast last thing though. This helps to close the cuticle and promotes shiny hair. Things to stay away from are hot irons or another chemical, except on your new growth. Coloring your roots is perfectly fine to do! Get a trim of about 1". (remember it'll grow back!) Trimming your hair can really help when it comes to color oversaturation. Follow these steps. Go ahead and strip your hair with a clarifying shampoo. (these are gentle on the hair and not to be confused with a hair stripping chemical!) Then shampoo again using a conditioning shampoo, then condition well! Remember to wide tooth comb wet hair and brush dry hair if possible. Then see how your hair looks in a week. If its no better, try the clear glaze. *Use the 'dry hair' method to apply it! That works best! See what happens and let me know how it goes. You might also try Wen Hair Products.
