Invest in shampoos and conditioners specifically formulated for colored hair. These products help preserve the vibrancy of your color and prevent it from fading prematurely.
When shampooing and conditioning, use cool or lukewarm water instead of hot water. Hot water can strip away color molecules and natural oils, leading to color fading.
Try to reduce the frequency of washing your hair. Washing too often can cause color to fade faster. Consider using dry shampoo between washes to freshen up without stripping the color.
Use sulfate-free and gentle hair care products. Sulfates can be harsh on colored hair and cause the color to fade more quickly.
UV rays can cause color to fade and hair to become dry and brittle. Wear a hat or use hair products with UV protection when spending time outdoors.
Colored hair can be more prone to dryness and damage. Use deep conditioning treatments or hair masks to provide your hair with the extra moisture it needs.
Over time, even the best color will naturally fade. Consider scheduling touch-up appointments to maintain your desired shade and vibrancy.
