Tips to Save Your Colored Hair from Damage

Hair dying is one of the most popular hair styling trends right now especially during the summertime. From balayage, to pale pastels and funky multi-colors people of all ages are looking for ways to showcase their trendy hairstyles. While dying hair is a fun and creative way to show off your personal style it’s also very easy to overdo it and damage your hair.  Here are some important tips on ways to protect and maintain colored hair so you can make fewer salon trips and spend all the money you saved at the next big music festival or on your next vacation destination.  New England Associates® offers the products and solutions to help you keep your hair healthy!

Wash Less Often

After you dye your hair, your stylist will typically recommend not washing your hair for at least two days. While this may seem gross it’s important in maintaining color for the long haul. Washing your hair every day is unnecessary, whether you color your hair or not, but if you sweat a lot or tend to have greasier hair using a dry shampoo is a great alternative. If you want to preserve your new color only wash your hair when necessary.

Conditioner is Your Friend

Bleaching hair opens the cells in your follicles which makes it harder for your hair to hold onto moisture so it’s important to regain and maintain that moisture. On a wash day, wet your hair, put a moisturizing conditioner  through your hair, and then shampoo directly on top of the conditioner. Doing this puts a barrier between your color and the shampoo while still removing excess natural oils. Famed NYC stylist Shaun Surething also suggests using a weekly hair conditioning mask and putting coconut oil or a thick conditioner on the ends of bleached or colored hair before getting in the water to protect your color from salt and chlorine.

Avoid Heat

The chemical process of bleaching your hair makes your hair very fragile. Applying too much heat can cause hair to melt and break off. After washing it’s best to pat excess water from your hair with a microfiber towel or cotton t-shirt and let it air dry. If you absolutely must use heat to achieve a certain style apply a generous amount of a heat-protectant styling product before using heated styling tools to guard your hair from thermal damage.

If you have thinning, damaged hair from over processing or need to strengthen colored hair come to New England Associates. We offer the best and latest treatments in hair restoration and replacement! Our line of pharmaceutical-grade products are specifically designed to cleanse the scalp and strengthen hair follicles which can improve results of chemical processing.

Understanding How the Different Seasons Affect Your Hair

Spring is quickly approaching and you may want to consider how the changing seasons will affect your hair. There are many elemental factors that play into how healthy your hair is, and can determine how dry or brittle your hair becomes. New England Associates® is here to help you understand what to do when seasons like winter and fall result in dry and brittle hair.

Spring:   In the spring, you may notice that you hair is greasier than normal after the long dry winter months indoors. It is important to maintain a regular hair washing schedule and try to stick to washing your hair at least three times a week. Spring is a season where like all the flowers and trees, there is a lot of growth. The best thing you can do is help your hair grow and use products such as New England’s HairStart® products that are good for your hair.

Summer:   Summer is a time to be outside and enjoy the warmth of the sun. This opens the door for spending long periods of time outside and possibly swimming in a pool or the ocean. The three factors that come into play here are saltwater, chlorine and sunshine. Steps you can take to protect your hair during the months of summer are wearing a hat outside to protect your scalp from being damaged, and before going into the pool or ocean it is a good idea to apply leave-in conditioner before entering the water, and then thoroughly shampooing and conditioning the hair after swimming. This will help you avoid the dehydration and irritation of your hair.

Chris Found His Answer to Hair Loss at New England Associates

Men—are you experiencing hair thinning or hair loss? New England Associates® has several options for you. With over 34 years of experience in the hair restoration industry, at New England Associates® we know what it’s like for men to lose their hair. We know that men of all ages can experience hair loss and we know that it can happen for a multitude of reasons. Fortunately, we also know how to combat these problems by providing you with a hair loss alternative that is tailored specifically to your needs and expectations as a patient.

In past times, men who were genetically predisposed towards hair loss might have had to settle with shaving their head. Today, they may be able to maintain their hair and keep it in a healthier condition. At New England Associates®, we offer successful options to slow/stop hair loss and help regrow, restore or replace hair. Some clients have hesitations concerning hair replacement procedures. Here, Chris offers some reassurances for men considering hair loss alternatives.

One of the first concerns for men and women considering a hair loss alternative is the authenticity of the look they will have afterwards. “I think that most men think that this is going to look fake. I just couldn’t be happier with the results that I have achieved and I think it’s achievable for any man.” New England Associates® understands and addresses this concern up front with their complimentary hair and scalp examination as part of your free consultation.

During your hair and scalp examination we examine your hair loss and determine how significant it is. If your hair loss is in its early to middle phases, we encourage men to first attempt to slow/stop the hair loss they’re experiencing and simultaneously grow their hair if possible. New England Associates® utilizes this approach combining scientifically proven products and devices that according to the International Journal of Cosmetic Surgery & Aesthetic Dermatology can increase your hair by up to 93 percent. For men who have already experienced a significant amount of hair loss, follicular unit surgical procedures or non-surgical hair grafting are excellent options. All surgical options are performed by professional physicians who perform hair restoration procedures that result in real growing hair.

When asked how he was treated by the staff, Chris had this to say. “They care that you’re going to look great when you walk out. If you have a need to come back in for a touch up, they are very accommodating and will gladly accept you back in because they want you to look good.”

Utilizing the newest technology available today, the professionals at New England Associates® are here to help you Look As Good As You Feel! ™. When asked what Chris might say to others, he replied “If I were a guy with thinning hair and it was bothering me, I would definitely make an appointment to consult with someone knowledgeable about hair loss. Ultimately, you may not do anything, but at least you know what your options are.” At New England Associates® the options are many and the choices are yours!

When you visit New England Associates® for a complimentary consultation, all of your questions will be answered by our expert staff. During this consultation, you may view actual before and after pictures of clients who have had similar services performed and discuss the procedures that interest you most. The initial process of any procedure can be started right away if you choose.
