Rule No. 3: Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate Conditioner doesn't just make color-treated hair look and feel smoother; it actually closes the cuticle, counteracting the cuticle-opening effect of shampoo. A great conditioner also infuses moisturizing ingredients beneath the cuticle, nourishing hair from the inside out.

"Use deep-conditioning treatments every two weeks to prevent breakage," advises Tym Wallace, a celebrity hairstylist. A great conditioning mask will "nourish the hair and scalp and alleviate dryness, which can lead to hair breakage," he says.

Trujillo recommends layering conditioning hair products on color-treated or bleached hair. "I make sure all my clients have a leave-in conditioner ... a good oil or serum, and a good hair mask," she says. Focus any leave-in hydrating products on the ends of hair, where you need moisture most.
