Color treated hair requires more thoughtful care because the coloring process lifts the hair cuticle, making strands more porous and vulnerable to dryness, breakage, and fading over time. Without proper support, moisture escapes easily and color can lose its vibrancy. Focusing on gentle cleansing, hydration, and protection helps preserve both the tone of your color and the overall health of your hair.
Cleanse Gently to Protect Color and Strength
Using a shampoo that nourishes without stripping is essential. The Collagen and Biotin Shampoo is safe for color and keratin treated hair and helps fortify strands from root to ends while enhancing hydration, elasticity, and volume. Stronger hair reflects light better, helping color appear richer and more even.
Seal in Moisture and Reduce Daily Damage
Daily leave-in care helps protect color treated hair from heat, friction, and dryness. The Natural Oil Blend Leave In Hair Cream, formulated with argan, coconut, and moringa oils, smooths each strand, seals the cuticle, and helps eliminate frizz while protecting against thermal styling damage. For hair that feels especially dry or over processed, Cream Hairdressing with Placenta helps repair rough cuticles, restore shine, and form a protective shield against environmental stress.

How to Repair Over-Processed Hair: A Simple, Gentle Recovery Routine
Over-processed hair does not happen overnight. It is the result of repeated coloring, heat styling, chemical treatments, and everyday stress that slowly weaken the hair’s structure. When hair feels dry, rough, or lacks elasticity, the goal is not to do more, but to do better. At Mirta de Perales, we believe recovery starts with gentle care, proven ingredients, and consistency. We got you covered with products designed to restore hair without overwhelming it.
Start by simplifying your routine. Choose cleansing formulas that support repair rather than strip the hair further, and aim for paraben free and sulfate free products that respect the hair and scalp. Gentle shampoos paired with nourishing conditioners help prepare the hair to actually receive treatment instead of resisting it. Once the hair is clean, deep conditioning becomes the true lifesaver.
The Deep Conditioning Hair Masque is a must for over processed hair. This ultra-thick treatment delivers intense repair for dry, damaged strands while helping eliminate frizz and restore elasticity. It can be used as a rich conditioner or as a true repairing masque. For dry or damaged hair, leave it on for up to ten minutes. For extremely dry hair, apply to wet or dry hair and leave it on for ten minutes or longer, even overnight, before rinsing. The result is softer, more flexible hair that feels revived rather than coated.
After treatment, protect what you have restored. Lightweight leave-in creams and serums help seal the cuticle, reduce friction, and guard against daily styling stress. These steps prevent new damage while allowing hair to gradually regain strength and shine.
Repair is a process, not a quick fix. With patience and the right products, hair can recover its softness, movement, and confidence. If you are unsure where to begin, take the Find Your Mirta Match quiz to discover the Mirta de Perales products best suited to support your hair’s recovery journey.
