Is Your Hair Routine Wreaking Havoc on Your Locks?

9. Double-process color

Once you've found that perfectly bold and beautiful salon color, it's hard to go back. Yet, the single most damaging thing you can do to your hair and scalp is overwhelming it with chemicals. Sadly, lemon juice and sunshine won't give you that same bleach-blonde effect. If you're going to commit to dying your hair forever, it's best to choose a color that doesn't require double-processing. Use non-PPD (paraphenylenediamine) colors, wait longer between dyeing and explore the wide range of natural alternatives such as henna, carrot juice, coffee. They might surprise you.
