Crazy hair hues never last as long as we want them to. It doesn’t matter if it’s teal, magenta, lime, or lemon, color fading is a known fact among enthusiasts of bright hair color. Here are tips for making that daring color endure!
-
Use shampoo and conditioner for color-treated hair. The special formulations will keep your hue around longer. (Sulfate-free is a plus!)
-
Wash your hair with cool water. By skipping the hot rinse, you’ll reduce the bleeding of hair color. No need to take an icy shower, just lower the water temperature for your hair.
-
Don’t over-wash your locks. Regardless of color, it’s better to wash your hair less often because its natural oils are what keep it healthy and shiny. And if you wash color-treated hair less frequently, you’ll extend the color’s vibrancy.
-
Invest in a dry shampoo. If your roots get greasy by the evening and can’t bear not washing your strands every day, a dry shampoo is a great alternative. It will hold you off on stripping your hair color.
-
Get touch ups every couple of weeks. Since most bright shades are actually made from direct dye substances, they don’t damage your hair.
Tip: In most instances, the lighter your hair is before you add a bright color, the better. Since we know you will be visiting your local salon professional, let them decide how light your hair should be, before applying the bright hair color. (lightness varies depending on the chosen haircolor) In addition, we highly recommend not trying this at home.
