Hair Has No Body After Coloring

RE: Hair Has No Body After Coloring Post By Mary (Guest Post) (12/26/2007) Hi, this comment is for "Smoochie" who posted here & said her hair also has no body after coloring. Another person posting here said to use a little baking soda when you shampoo after coloring. I tried it and it does work. Hair is still a little slick after coloring but not as bad with the baking soda. Also going "blonde," with highlights--a lot or a little--will give your hair more body and staying power than just about anything. Watch out, too much fake blonde is damaging to your hair. If it weren't for this pesky gray, I would not bother with ANY hair coloring! I liked my formerly dark brown hair!

My hairdresser said it has too much 'slip', meaning that it's literally too slippery, almost too silky. No kind of clip or even electric curlers will stay in my hair. Also I have problems keeping curled around a hot air brush or curling iron. Added to this, however, is that my hair is bone straight. Not the nice kind of straight, but the straight and frizziness. If you ever come up with a solution, I'd love to know about it. Good luck from Smoochie :( RE: Hair Has No Body After Coloring Post By (Guest Post) (03/09/2006) Thanks so much, as I have the same problem too. I will try that mixture also.

He said to add a little baking soda to my shampoo to clean out all the impurities in my hair (medications, gels, hairsprays, etc.) and it would look normal again. I have tried this and it works...I use about 2 tablespoons of baking soda and rub it in the palm of my hand with the shampoo before putting it on my hair. Do not shampoo again after this, just condition (lightly) and it should be ok again. Use it more frequently if it doesn't look right to you - it will not remove the dye. I use this about once a week and shampoo normally the rest of the week. Hope this helps!
