Oil bath for colored hair: the ritual that keeps your color glowing

You’ve just left the salon (or finished your color at home). You run your fingers through your hair, admiring your reflection in the mirror: your color is radiant, the highlights catch the light, and you feel that fresh, confident glow that makes you smile. But a few days later, reality sets in: your ends feel drier (especially if you didn’t opt for plant-based color), your shine starts to fade, and you’re already dreading the moment your color begins to lose its vibrancy. Don’t worry, there’s a simple, sensory ritual that can change everything: the oil bath for colored hair.

Imagine a moment just for yourself: you apply a delicately scented oil bath, take your time to massage your scalp, and let this deep treatment sit like a cocoon around your hair… When you rinse, your strands feel nourished, soft, and luminous, your color looks revived, almost like the first day. When chosen and applied correctly, an oil bath for colored hair doesn’t just nourish, it protects, enhances, and preserves your color’s glow week after week.

The benefits of oils on colored hair

After a conventional hair color, your hair fiber is often more fragile and dry. That’s where the oil bath comes in:

  • It deeply nourishes the hair fiber
  • It brings softness and shine
  • It forms a protective barrier against external aggressors (pollution, heat, sun…)
  • It limits dryness caused by chemical dyes

Result: your color stays vibrant and glossy for longer.

Can you do an oil bath after coloring your hair ?

Yes, absolutely! Contrary to popular belief, a well-formulated oil bath for colored hair won’t make your color fade. On the contrary, it helps protect and extend it. The secret lies in choosing an oil blend specifically designed for color-treated hair.

Oil bath after a conventional hair color

If you’ve used a conventional (chemical) dye, an oil bath is a must. Chemical coloring can strip and weaken the hair fiber, leaving your hair dry and dull. A good oil bath will:

  • Deeply nourish and repair sensitized hair
  • Smooth the cuticle to lock in pigments
  • Add shine and a silky feel
  • Protect against heat, UV rays, and pollution

The only rule? Choose your oil wisely. Heavy or mineral oils can make artificial pigments fade faster. That’s why a treatment like This Green’s Bioleic Care Color Protection oil bath is ideal. Its blend of natural, plant-based oils is specifically designed to protect and extend the radiance of both botanical and conventional colorings.

Oil bath after a natural hair dye

Your hair will love the natural hair dye + oil bath duo:

  • The natural hair dye coats and strengthens the hair fiber
  • The oil bath nourishes deeply, enhancing the protective effect

The result? Softer, shinier, and more supple hair.

A small tip: avoid doing an oil bath in the first few days after applying your natural hair dye. Natural pigments continue to set and oxidize for 48–72 hours. So it’s best to wait 3 to 4 days before your oil ritual to make sure your color fully develops and lasts longer.

Our Bioleic Care Color Protection oil bath is perfectly suited for this.

Formulated with fine, penetrating vegetable oils, it protects your natural hair dye, enhances shine, and respects your hair’s natural balance.

Which oil bath should you choose for colored hair?

If you want to keep your color vibrant and your hair healthy, This Green’s Bioleic Care Color Protection oil bath is your best ally. Its 100% natural formula contains only precious plant oils carefully selected to:

  • Preserve your color’s depth and intensity
  • Strengthen the hair fiber
  • Nourish without weighing down
  • Restore shine and softness to your lengths

A true beauty ritual that transforms your hair into a radiant, luminous mane.

Can an oil bath make your hair color fade?

With the right oils, the answer is no. An oil bath specifically formulated for colored hair, like Bioleic Care Color Protection, won’t make your color bleed. On the contrary, it helps lock it in and make it last longer.

However, avoid mineral or non-specific oils, as they can alter your color.

How to do an oil bath on colored hair

It’s simple and relaxing! Here’s how:

  • Apply the oil bath to dry hair, section by section, focusing on the scalp, lengths and ends
  • Gently massage your scalp to boost circulation and help the oils penetrate
  • Leave it on for at least 20 minutes (or even overnight under a warm towel for a deeper treatment)
  • Always do two shampoos to remove any excess oil. For colored hair, we recommend our Color Protection shampoo. You can trust it completely!
  • Repeat regularly (once a week or with every shampoo, depending on your hair’s needs)

This ritual transforms your hair routine into a moment of pure care, nourishing, protecting, and enhancing your color’s lasting radiance.

To truly care for your colored hair: adopt the complete routine

The oil bath for colored hair is a precious ritual, but to make your color last and shine over time, nothing beats a complete routine. The Color Protection range by This Green is specially formulated for color-treated hair:

  • The Color Protection shampoo gently cleanses without damaging the hair fiber. Its natural formula preserves pigment intensity while adding shine and lightness
  • The Color Protection conditioner instantly detangles, nourishes, and protects your lengths. It leaves your hair silky, easy to style, and full of lasting radiance

By combining these color-care essentials with the Bioleic Care Color Protection oil bath, you give your hair a true cocoon of protection and nourishment.

The result: a richer, shinier, and longer-lasting color (and hair that feels full of life).
