Dyeing your hair damages hair cuticles, making newly coloured hair feel dry and rough. To help create a smooth texture and maintain that shiny, vibrant hue, opt for colour-care products that are specially formulated to strengthen brittle, dyed tresses and prevent the colour from washing out too quickly.
