Colored hair may look fantastic, however, as soon as the damage occurs, it appears within a short period- and typically when you are least expecting it. Instead of letting your damaged dyed hair deteriorate to a critical state, seeking professional help is recommended. However, your dyed hair will give you these signs before it goes AWOL.
7 Clear Signs Your Dyed Hair Is Damaged—and What to Do Next
What you do when you notice your dyed hair is damaged is important. It should be seen as a case of emergency, else you'll be losing your precious hair.
Do the following when you notice these signs:
Your Hair Feels Extremely Dry and Rough
The first red flag is usually dryness. Repeated bleaching, use of permanent dyes or excessive applications of bleach and 20 volume developer may leave the hair feeling coarse or straw-like since the natural lipids of the hair have been stripped.
Research has shown that chemicals such as ammonia can break the hair cuticle, thereby increasing the chances of moisture loss. When your hair absorbs conditioner yet feels dry, it is an indication that your cuticle has been raised and your internal structure has been damaged.
Professional Solution: Lost moisture can be replaced using a salon-quality product, such as GK Hair Deep Conditioner Hair Treatment. This hair treatment is infused with Juvexin V2, a plant-based protein, optimised to repair hair from the inside out. It contains Jojoba Seed Oils to tame frizz, and it is colour-safe.
When conditions are extreme, then Nanoplastia Hair Treatment is a miracle in itself. It relaxes, thickens and replenishes the damaged hair strands with time.
You Notice Breakage and Short, Snapped Strands
Breakage occurs when the inner layers of the shaft become weak. You may notice some hair near your sink, pillow, or shoulders. This tends to happen when the colour-to-developer ratio used during dyeing is incorrect, or when you mix hair colour with developer unevenly.
According to a study conducted by the National Center of Biotechnology Information, oxidative dyes disrupt the disulfide bonds within the cortex.
Professional Solution: Use GK Hair’s The Best Hair Treatment to prevent additional damage. It polishes and strengthens hair from the inside out.
Your Hair Tangles More Than Usual
Damaged cuticles rub and tear on one another, making detangling an uneasy task. It occurs particularly following several bleaching processes or harsh heat treatment following a colouring process.
Professional Solution: To reduce tangling and breakage, invest in GK Hair’s Vent Brush, a top-quality professional tool. It is designed to give your hair that smooth finish while blow-drying.
Your Colour Looks Dull or Fades Too Quickly
When your hair is healthy, colour tends to last longer. When you notice your shade starts to fade within days, you are probably dealing with cuticle damage which allows the pigment to leak out. This is usually a problem for clients who use high-developer formulas often or colour their hair independently.
Use colour-safe products and request your stylist to tell you if the best developer to use on the damaged hair is low-volume or otherwise. GK Hair’s Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner are colour safe and can help maintain shine and vibrancy.
Your Ends Feel Mushy, Spongy, or Stretchy When Wet
This is an indication of extreme over-processing. Once the bonds of the proteins are broken, the hair acts like overcooked noodles. It stretches and breaks when wet, especially after bleaching or colouring sessions are scheduled too close together.
Professional Solution: Your hair needs protein and smoothing. Nanoplastia Hair Treatment comes in handy in this case, as it reinforces internally without introducing new forces. Apply the GK Hair’s Argan Oil Serum to prevent further breakage of the ends.
Your Scalp Feels Sensitive, Tight, or Irritated
The scalp may react following colour changes caused by developer strength, excessive processing or rough application methods. Flaking, burning, or redness should not be overlooked. Chemical scalp irritation is common among individuals who regularly colour their hair.
Recommendation
Stop the use of harsh formulas and switch to GK Hair’s Balancing Shampoo—gentle on sensitive scalps. Once again, when colouring, have your stylist check the formula and the strength of the developer. Avoid handpicking the wrong colour dye and developer. GK Hair’s Juvexin Cream Color is a great hair dye option for you. It has a range of 125 shades to give you a long-lasting shine and vibrancy.
Not only that, pairing the cream colour with GK Hair’s Cream Developer is the best practice. Our cream developer can deliver up to 4 levels of lift with optimal viscosity, depending on the result you want to achieve. What makes GK Hair’s cream developer unique is that it contains natural ingredients that help retain moisture, saving you from having damaged hair.

Your Hair No Longer Holds Style or Feels Limp
Healthy hair has elasticity. Damaged hair, however, is limp and lifeless as the inner structure cannot hold the volume. In case of flat curls or when a blowout is not maintained, it is a sign of weakened cortical fibres.
What do you do? Use a gentle volumising product. We recommend you use GK Hair’s VolumizeHer Spray. It is light and helps lift your hair, and lasts all day. It contains no harsh chemicals that could make your hair sticky.
When It’s Time to Seek Professional Help
It is possible to treat mild dryness or frizz at home, but there are some signs to indicate that it is time to pay a visit to a licensed colourist:
-
Your hair snaps when you touch it softly.
-
Your colour refuses to lift.
-
Your scalp reacts to the developer.
-
Whatever you do, your ends keep tearing.
-
After protein treatments, your hair remains sticky.
Experts know the interplay of factors such as the amount of developer applied, dye strength, timing and your hair porosity. They help you check your formulas, such as bleach and 20-volume developer, to know whether they might damage your hair. Professionals could also correct your colour-to-developer ratio for future appointments.
How to Prevent Damaged Dyed Hair in the Future
The following is a useful strategy that you can follow:
-
Have a Regular Colour Schedule: The bleach or dye should not overlap already coloured areas.
-
Choose Quality Developers: The best developer for damaged hair should be soft, light in volume, and applied with accuracy. GK Hair recommends a mixing ratio of 1:1.5.
-
Use Professional Tools: Everything matters when it comes to your hair’s health. If you heat style, you need to follow up with a heat protectant. Other accessories, like GK Hair styling tools and brushes, will help give you vibrant hair.
-
Balance Protein With Moisture: You should not use any oils or any masks; your hair needs both.
-
Consult Professionals Regularly: You will not always be Harry Porter to spot everything. Your professional stylist can catch subtle changes in your hair before breakage sets in.
