Shampoos, balms, conditioners, serums and lotions - you can get lost in the abundance of jars on the shelves. It's good when you know exactly what you need. For example, restoration and protection of color in the name of beauty!
Why you need a special balm for colored hair
Normally, shampoo and tap water, which is full of chemicals, lift the scales of the hair cuticle, which leads to a rapid washout of the color shade. A conditioner (or conditioner) to preserve color is needed to smooth the cuticle, seal the pigments inside and maintain their durability.
Modern balm for colored hair doesn't just protect the color, it nourishes and cares for it. This type of product adds radiance to color-treated hair to make it look bright, beautiful, and healthy, and prolongs the effects of salon treatments like keratin, Botox, and collagen restoration. And some formulas are capable of tinting. For cool shades against bleached curls, this is especially relevant, since the artificial pigment is slightly washed out with each wash, revealing a lightening background with warm undertones. Professional pigmented balms neutralize unwanted undertones (yellow, red or red) and enhance the beautiful color nuance.
What to choose: conditioner for colored hair or conditioner? There is almost no difference between these products. It is believed that balm is more nourishing in its composition, but more often the name of the format of rinsing care depends only on the marketing concept of a particular brand.
