Organic Ways to Retain Moisture For Your Dyed Hair

By Chloe Rodgz

If you have even dyed your hair, you know how dry it can get after a few weeks. If you don't take some measures, you could very well be walking around with a head of very dry and frizzy hair. You will have the color that you want, but you are going to look like you just stuck your finger in a socket. If you learn how to retain moisture for dyed hair, you can keep the luxurious head of hair that you had before it was died. Here are the greatest tips for having an extraordinario hair.

When you dye your hair, the dye itself can have some adverse affects on your hair. The moisture of the hair is stripped away and you are left with brittle hair. You will get the color that you are looking for, but your hair will probably be a dried up mess. The hair dye's will usually come with some products that are meant to keep you hair moisturized, but they are only going to last a few weeks and then you are on your own.

You can spend a fortune on hair moisturizers that are specifically meant to keep your hair moisturized, or you can go the more economic route and use natural moisturizers that will work just as well. You are going to be surprised to find out that many of the items are right in your home and will cost you less than 10% of what some of the other moisturizers are going to run you from specialty hair salons. Safflower oil is a perfect example of just that.

All you are going to need is a little bit of safflower oil. After you put a few drops into the palm of your hands, you can rub it into your hair and scalp very slowly to make sure that it is fully absorbed. You will not wash out the oil, but leave it in and wear your favorite hairstyle as you normally would. After a few treatments like this, you are going to notice a dramatic change.

Another great solution is jojoba oil. This oil is the natural wax produced by the seeds of the jojoba plant and is chock full of essential fatty acids which are great for both skin and hair. It can be found in any health food store and has multiple uses. Jojoba oil closely resembles the molecular build of the scalp's natural oil, sebum, which makes it a great choice for a natural hair moisturizer.

For best results with jojoba oil, you can drop it into your regular organic shampoo to give it an extra boost. In essence, you are creating your own high end moisturizer by using a regular one with this additive. Get some Suave for $3 and add this and it will mimic the same thing that people are paying $15 for at the hair salon.

Other solutions also include using the natural essential oils from olives, almonds, wheat germ or even rosemary. Even raw egg yolks can be beaten and worked into the scalp which will provide it with the nutrients it needs to produce strong, healthy hair. There are tons of great all-natural solutions available that can help retain moisture for dyed hair.

One thing that you should not forget is that everything that you eat will eventually have an effect on the outside of your body just as much as it will the inside of your body. When you have a poor, unbalanced diet, it will be reflected in both your skin and hair. In addition to using some or all of these natural remedies, make sure that your diet is balanced and nutritious and you should have a happy and healthy head of hair even after it is dyed. - 30305
