Read the label of any new hair products you buy and make sure they don't contain alcohols or other damaging ingredients. You should wait 2 days before washing hair after dying it. When your hair has had color applied, the cuticle requires time to reseal otherwise the color will quickly fade. You should also remember wetting your hair within the first 48 hours re-opens the cuticle; therefore, it is important that your hair remain completely dry for at least two days. Your patience will be rewarded with healthy and shining hair. Always shampoo your hair with care, or you may just wash out your hair's natural oils. If you have especially oily hair avoid using a strong shampoo to remove all the oil because this can cause rebound oil in your hair. http://www.myhealthreviews.org/foligrow-xt/
