L'Oreal Excel Hicolor Highlights Red 34 g (3-Pack)

Product Information

All of this may seem overwhelming, but it’s necessary if you want to keep your hair on your head following a harsh color job. Use a heat protectant– If you can’t stay away from the heat, apply a heat protectant beforehand to form a protective barrier on your color-treated hair. After doing the strand test, you can make an educated decision about whether to go through with the full dye job, try a different color shade, or shorten the processing time. This is a step that everyone should take to prevent undesirable results and irreversible hair and scalp damage.

People color their hair with hair dye and 30 volume developer all the time – some are able to preserve the health of their hair while others are not. NEW HiColor RED HiLights by L'Oreal Excellence is the first highlighting series formulated for dark hair. Unfortunately, many think that since L’Oreal HiColor doesn’t have any bleach, it couldn’t possibly be damaging to your hair – this couldn’t be further from the truth.Mix 1 teaspoon of L’Oreal HiColor hair dye and 1 ½ teaspoons of developer into a bowl (if the instructions on the packaging are different from these, go by those instructions instead).

To speed up processing time, use a pre-heated warm (not hot) heat source for up to 15 minutes maximum. If you have buildup on your hair from gels, pomades, or a flaky scalp, wash that away a couple of days before dye day. For example, going from dark brown hair to intense red or a brighter shade will require some type of lightener (like bleach) and expose your hair to potential damage. One of the best things you can do to minimize damage to your hair is to read and understand the instructions on the L’Oreal HiColor packaging. To give your hair the best chance of staying healthy post-processing, we recommend that you follow the below steps before dyeing your hair.

With L’Oreal HiColor, it’s crucial to take every precaution you can to maintain the integrity of your hair. We recommend refraining from heat-styling or relaxing your hair within a week or two of coloring it. Stretch the hair strand out and see if it bounces back – if it doesn’t, the hair has lost its elasticity.

Put the blow-dryer down– Blow dryers are a form of indirect heat that can wreak havoc on color-treated hair.
