The 4 Best Color Maintenance Products for Natural Hair

The Best Color Maintenance Products for Natural Hair

If you are thinking about dyeing your natural hair, take note, it will require regular maintenance.

Coloring your hair is a great option when you're in the mood to change your look — and there is such a thing as healthy colored hair — but dedicated upkeep is essential.

The process of depositing permanent color onto the hair requires dye to penetrate beyond the hair cuticles. Once the cuticles have been raised, natural hair tends to increase in porosity, which means the hair has difficulty retaining moisture. As a result, the hair can become frizzy, and more prone to breakage.

So when it comes to caring for color-treated natural hair, the goal is always to reduce and reverse damage done to the cuticle.

"The key to maintaining the health of your curls after a color service is regular moisture," says Brendnetta Ashley, hairstylist and artistic educator at The Salon by InStyle Inside JCPenney. "Curly hair is fragile and needs hydration to stay healthy."

Below, Ashley shares a few key products that can help strengthen your curls after your next color treatment.
