Often the hair shaft will remain partially open after the process is completed. It is important to balance the pH and close the scales to seal in color. In addition, coloring, highlighting, and bleaching techniques weaken and damage the hair structure, leaving it very dry, and weakened. That explains why color-treated hair requires more hydration, nourishment and repair than unprocessed, virgin hair.
