Hair color and chemical treatments are done to make hair look beautiful, but without the right hair care routine, they can lead to dryness, breakage, and hair fall.
If you’ve recently colored your hair or undergone any chemical treatment like straightening, rebonding, smoothing, or botox, this blog explains exactly what to do and when to do it.
When to Start Hair Care After Hair Color
If you’ve done hair coloring only:
-
Start your hair care routine 2 days after hair color
-
Continue proper care until 2 days before your next color session
This timing helps balance moisture and prevents the drying effect of shampoo after coloring.
Hair Care Timeline After Chemical Treatments
If you’ve done chemical treatments such as:
-
Straightening
-
Rebonding
-
Keratin / Smoothening
-
Hair Botox
👉 Start oiling only after 25 days
This waiting period is important because the treatment molecules settle deep inside the hair cuticle and oxidize. Starting oiling too early can disturb the setting process.
Correct Oiling Technique (Very Important)
Oiling is not just for the scalp. It’s also for the hair lengths.
How to oil properly:
-
Divide hair into small sections
-
Apply oil gently on each strand
-
Stroke each strand 10 times with love and patience
-
Apply spa silk oil on both scalp and hair lengths
✔ This method prevents:
-
Hair breakage
-
Excessive hair fall
-
Dry, brittle strands
Use Hydrolyzed Protein Hair Pack with Henna
After chemical treatments:
-
Apply a Health Hair Protein Pack
-
Always mix henna into the pack
-
Apply 2–3 times a week
-
Leave it on for at least 20 minutes
This restores strength, hydration, and elasticity to chemically treated hair.
Shampoo Routine for Chemically Treated Hair
-
Shampoo on alternate days
-
Always shampoo after oiling
-
This helps hydrate a dry scalp and reduces hair fall
-
Regular oil + shampoo balance keeps scalp healthy
Post-Shampoo Care Is Non-Negotiable
After every wash:
-
Apply a post-shampoo hair serum
-
Never skip serum—it seals moisture and protects cuticles
If you use:
-
Blow drying
-
Hair ironing
-
Straightening tools
🚫 Never style without a heat protectant
Heat without protection = guaranteed damage.
Will Hair Care Ruin My Chemical Treatment Results?
No.
This is a myth.
Chemical treatment molecules sit deep inside the cuticle and are already oxidized.
Proper oiling, masks, and conditioning:
-
❌ Will NOT ruin your straightening or smoothing
-
✅ WILL prevent future damage, breakage, and dryness
If someone tells you hair care will spoil your results, know that it’s incorrect.
Final Takeaway
Chemical treatments don’t damage hair instantly; neglect does.
With the right timing, oiling method, protein packs, and heat protection, you can enjoy:
-
Smooth results
-
Strong hair
-
Zero unnecessary breakage
