Rainbow hair is gorgeous, but all the chemicals it takes to get that colorful look can cause stress to your tresses. But no worries! You can be a pretty rainbow princess as long as you use products designed to protect your hair. Here are a few, for starters.
1. Shu Uemara Color Lustre Brilliant Glaze Shampoo + Conditioner

Made with rose musk oil, this lush shampoo and conditioner leave even the most processed rainbow hair soft and manageable, not brittle and course.

Maybe your budget won't allow the weekly rainbow hair touch-ups AND the spendy Shu Uemara shampoo & conditioner. That's okay! This sugar-vanilla scented set can do the trick, too, and it's not as pricey.

This is my all-time favorite hair product, and it's ideal for rainbow hair or any other hair that's dry or under stress. Rub a few drops into you palms, then smooth your hair, paying special attention to your ends. It's also great for taming those little hairs along your part that want to stick up!

While some styling products can mess with your brilliant rainbow hair, this one won't. It also helps prevent frizz, which is nice for those days when you let your hair air-dry and don't use your flat iron.
And here's an extra tip to help keep your rainbow-hued hair vibrant a bit longer: use cool water to shampoo and rinse! Do you have any other tips or products for rainbow hair?
Comments
Alyx: As someone who has had rainbow hair for ten years, don't use any shampoo with oils. Oils are great on DRY hair. But when it's wet, it can go underneath the color and cause it to fade.
Alyx: @brittany no it's fine on uncolored hair :) the oil will penetrate deep and work well. But rainbow hair colors are basically just coating the hair, so oils can go underneath the color and cause the color to fade a lot quicker.
ReneeK: Hey Alyx what band do you sing in? I saw your about section. :-)
Nancy: I really need to use some of the products... Great list.
Brittany: I don't have rainbow hair just natural brunette, anyways I spray oil on my hair when it's wet and let it air dry, does oil on natural hair cause any issues or just rainbow hair??
