Summer is here, and many of you are eager to transform your curls with a vibrant new color. But before you make the leap, it’s crucial to ensure your hair is ready for the change. OurX Hair Expert Johnny Wright shares his top tips on how to check if your curls are prepared for a color treatment and how to maintain their health and vibrancy afterward.

Is Your Hair Ready for Hair Color?

Thinking of going blonde this summer? It’s an exciting decision, but the first question you should ask is, is your hair ready for it? According to Johnny Wright, the only way to answer this is by consulting a professional hairstylist who specializes in coloring textured hair. “A professional stylist will assess your hair and determine if it’s healthy enough for a color treatment. They can guide you on the best approach to achieve your desired look while maintaining your hair’s integrity,” Johnny explains.

Steps to Prepare Your Hair for Color

1. Professional Assessment

Before diving into any color treatment, it’s essential to have your hair evaluated by a professional hairstylist. They will check for any signs of damage or weakness and provide personalized advice on how to prepare your hair for coloring.

2. Deep Conditioning

Healthy hair is the foundation of a successful color treatment. Johnny recommends using an intensified conditioner like OurX’s Intensive Conditioning Compound. This deep conditioner is designed to nourish and strengthen your hair, making it more resilient to the coloring process. For best results, apply it with a steamer or under a hooded dryer to allow the conditioning agents to penetrate deeply.

3. Regular Maintenance

Post-color care is just as important as the preparation. To keep your new color vibrant and your hair healthy, incorporate a leave-in conditioner into your routine. OurX’s Leave-In Conditioner is perfect for this purpose. It hydrates your hair without weighing it down and helps refresh your style throughout the week.
