• • Pick those shampoos and conditioners, which are made for colored hair. Normal shampoos and conditioners will not help. These products are made essentially to protect colored hairs from damage and provide extra nutrition.  It s a good idea to use the same brand when choosing shampoos and conditioners.

• • Go for complete sulphate free shampoos when you have colored your hair. These shampoos are mild and take extra care of hair. This is because colored hair is already chemically affected. More chemicals may harm it more and it may decrease your hair quality.

• Let your hair dry normally after each wash and then comb it. Wet hairs are easy to break and thus more hair fall can happen. Use a broad toothed comb so that it can separate the strands from root to tip and do not get tangled easily.

There are some best hair color products available in the market but every hair color contains ammonia which is not possible to avoid. So, extra care is mandatory.
