Hair treatments are great for keeping red hair soft, healthy, and shiny, but if you’ve noticed your masks, balms, creams, deep conditioners or oils aren’t quite working this might be why.
You need to wash your red hair
Check the packaging for your treatment, but it should tell you where in your routine to use it. Some treatments are meant to be left sitting in the hair for some time and then washed out. This would make you think you should put it in dirty hair, but that’s not always the case.
If you are looking for a redhead-approved shine shampoo to add to your routine, look no further:
Finally Glossy® Shine & Luminosity Shampoo for Redheads
It took many years to custom-make the Finally Glossy® formula and we’re so excited for redheads to enjoy it. We’re thrilled to release another clean redhead beauty product. It is paraben-free, cruelty-free, sulfate-free, petroleum-free, mineral-oil, and vegan. It also contains no perfume, is free of gluten and is silicone-free, phthalate-free, formaldehyde-free and cocamidopropyl betaine-free. This clean formula is formulated with Vitamin B3, olive oil, coconut oil and green tea.
It’s not the right treatment
Not all treatments are created equally and not every treatment will work for your hair. Figure out what hair concerns you need to tackle and find a product specifically focusing on that. If your hair is dry or frizzy, try a hydrating treatment. If your hair is damaged or over-processed, try a repairing treatment and if you’re looking for shine try something with oils in it.
You’re not leaving it in enough
Most hair treatments need to be left in a minimum of 10-20 minutes. This gives it plenty of time to soak into the hair before being washed out. Try applying your hair treatment and then stepping out of the shower if you don’t have the time to wait, or do it while in the bath.
