Hair Color Oversaturation Problem I Think?
Q) Hair Color Oversaturation Problem? I have been 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 my roots when I color 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, my hair is semi straight but lays in 3 or 4 long vertical groups. Even after brushing or curling it, eventually during the day it seems to separate into these 3 or 4 groups. I am conditioning but maybe not enough or not using the correct products. A hair stylist told me it was from over saturation of the color I've been using. 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. Oversaturation happens when you apply too many colors to your hair over time. It can distort your hair color and be very hard on your hair. When you color regularly, you should only do a root to tip color once every six months or longer. You should only be coloring your roots between root to end colors. Have you tried a clarifying shampoo? You can also use Jojoba oil shampoos If your hair is shoulder length or longer, then don't wash it everyday. Washing your hair too much will strip the natural oils from 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've gotten most of the color out of your hair and you've reconditioned it, you might try a hair color glaze You can purchase glazes in blonde, brown, red, or clear however, since you've already got a color oversaturation problem, it would be best to use the clear glaze. 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 of it also seeps into the cake itself.) The glaze helps to temporarily rebuild your hair structure. This also protects it from further damage. Colored glazes contain very minute particles of color, that are distributed into the hair strand. In this way they resemble semi permanent hair color. The color will last for a few weeks, then eventually wash out. When they wash out completely, you can apply the glaze again. If you don't want to do that, you can always buy a leave in conditioner, like Infusium Leave In Conditioner Feel free to use your hot rollers You might also think about trimming your hair. Trimming your hair can really help when it comes to color oversaturation. Follow these steps. Strip your hair of hair products with a good clarifying shampoo. 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! Trim your hair last and it should be 100% better! * You might also try Wen Hair Products.
