How I Keep My Colored-Hair Healthy

I started dying my hair my first year of college. About every 4 months, I get partial highlights or partial balayage. As we all probably know, bleaching your hair takes a real toll on the health of your hair. Therefore, I’ve taken a lot of steps to mitigate the damage and keep my hair as healthy as possible. So far so good! Here are the steps I take and my go-to products:
