Color-treated hair needs all the help it can get. Since I do
dye my hair blonde, I really have to take time to take care of it. I flat-iron
it anywhere from three to five times a week, so when I can I try to let it
air-dry rather than blow-dry. The less heat you are using on it the better. You
can always use a heat protectant before any heat styling, but I have never found one that doesn't leave my hair sticky or crunchy. I was never one to use
any oil on my hair, mainly because my roots get oily pretty quickly and because
I thought that it would weigh down my hair too much.
