Hair colouring is one of the coolest things to enhance your looks. It not only makes you feel good but also gives you an image makeover.
Bollywood celebrities likes Disha Patani and Shilpa Shetty have coloured their hair red. As flattering as the colour is, Shilpa’s colour has faded into a lighter chestnut colour which makes her look very attractive. Sonakshi Sinha had dark brown hair as long as we can remember, and sports blonde highlights, the classic one which is here to stay!
We also spotted television celebrities such as Jennifer Winget and Suyyash Rai experimenting with colours. Jennifer undoubtedly is one of the most good looking actresses in telly town and a special mention ought to be given to her ‘cuteness clubbed with sexiness’ quotient which is an add on to her personality. Currently seen in Colors’ Bepannah, the actress slays it with her tresses in traditional outfits.
Another name which comes to our mind is that of Lisa Haydon! Her bold shift to platinum blonde has raised eyebrows in surprise!

An ideal hair care regimen to maintain highlights would include deeply taken care of your coloured hair so that it remains shiny and radiant. Use a colour protect shampoo for long lasting colour. Many women do not have time to apply a mask. On the day of the shampoo, apply the mask. Like that, the product will have time to penetrate the hair. Always deeply rinse off the shampoos and care treatment so that the residues on the scalp do not prevent it from breathing
For the shine and longevity of hair colour, use a small amount of vinegar diluted in a bowl of fresh water. Then apply it as the last rinse. Vinegar is a powerful anti-bacterial active ingredient that will keep your hair clean longer. Its acid PH enrobes the hair fiber preventing colour fading and boosting brilliance
