Vegan Hair Care For Color-Treated Hair That Works

Are you looking for vegan hair care for color-treated hair that works?
You’ve come to the right place. At COLURE, we understand that color-treated hair requires more than just trendy natural ingredients and fancy packaging. Your color-treated hair deserves more. So here, we share three essential tips to help you find the right vegan product for your color-treated hair.
Number one, your hair is composed of primarily keratin protein. Hair protein plays a crucial role in the substantial part of the hair. When your hair becomes exposed to chemicals and heat, the hair’s keratin protein weakens and becomes damaged. Here is one easy test to check your hair if it needs protein. Rinse your hair with water, then select one strand of hair, and gently pull the single strand. If the strand of hair snaps, breaks, and or stretches and does return to its natural position, your hair requires protein. The solution is to select a vegan hair care treatment or conditioner with vegan protein, and essential amino acids to help repair and rebuild the keratin bonds.
Number two, Your hair also contains water (12 to 15%) and traces of mineral elements (calcium, cadmium, chromium, copper, zinc, iron, and silicon). These elements contribute to the building of the hair shaft. The hair also contains lipid components (3%). These lipids provide the hair with vital impermeability and ensure the cohesion of the hair fiber. Other lipids come from the sebaceous glands, such as sebum. These lipids help protect the skin, provide protection, and shine to the cuticle. When hair becomes exposed to chemicals and heat, these lipids become compromised and no longer offer their natural benefits. The solution is to select a vegan hair care conditioner and or treatment that hydrates and restores the integral lipids of the hair shaft.
Number three, the natural hair shaft, has a pH of 3.67, pH is vital to helping the cuticle retain hair color, and to protect from harmful elements. The hair’s natural pH becomes altered during the chemical process. Most hair coloring products produce a pH level of 9.0 and higher. This chemical process allows for oxidation of the hair’s natural pigment and deposition of new hair color pigment. Once the chemical process completed, it is vital to choose a vegan hair care conditioner with a low pH and or acid-based leave-in to lower the pH, reduce swelling of the cuticle, and to lock in the freshly placed hair color. The solution is to choose a vegan hair conditioner and leave-in with a pH level of 4.0. All COLURE hair products contain vegan proteins, moisture, and our exclusive Organic Super Complex to help restore the integral lipids, and low pH levels ranging from 3.5 to 5.5.
