We all want to keep our beautiful hair color long. So, we have compiled a list of tips to maintain the vibrancy of your hair color for an extended period.

Add Gloss

Hairstylists advise using gloss treatment between coloring sessions to keep your hair looking beautiful and fresh for longer. Gross gives your hair color a boost and extends the life of your color while adding shine. 

Keep Away From Direct Sunlight

Exposure to the sun can lighten up color and result in a loss of vibrancy. If you spend a long time in the sun for extended periods, grabbing a hat or experimenting with a scarf will be better. Thus, the sun is a significant stressor on color-treated hair.  

Say No to Hot Styling Tools

Blow drying and using hot styling tools regularly may cause dryness, breakage, and color fading. So, you should limit using hot styling tools, especially in the first week after dyeing your hair. But, surely this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t style your hair. Instead, use styling products that protect your hair from heat or thermal protectants.

Don’t wash your hair with hot water

After a long busy day, a hot shower may feel good; however, don’t forget about the upkeep of your colored hair. Hair colorists recommend washing hair with cool water to keep the color for a long time. Or otherwise, your hair color may fade away after several washes. 

Don’t shampoo your hair every day

Everyday use of shampoos may strip your hair of necessary oils and damage the color. If your scalp is oily and you go without shampooing, the experts recommend using dry shampoos in between washes.  

Use Dry shampoos

Dry shampoo reduces the excess oil from your hair in between washes. Dry shampoos can be applied to dry hair, and you don’t need to wash it out from your hair. 

Use Leave-in Conditioner When Dipping in the Pool

Swimming for an extended time is not recommended for colored hair since the color may fade and turn white depending on the amount of time spent in chlorinated water. Instead, hair experts recommend applying a live-in conditioner to minimize fading. In a spray bottle, combine the conditioner and water and spritz the mixture on your hair before immersing it in the pool.

Use Hair Masks 

Color-treated hair needs more care than virgin hair as the chemicals of the hair dyes can damage your hair and zap the moisture out. You should invest in good hair masks specially designed for color-treated hair. Remember that even the most beautifully done hair colors can look drab if your hair is dry with brittle strands.

Use Color-Safe Shampoos

All shampoos do the same job: clean the hair from grease and dirt; however, color-safe shampoos help your hair color last longer. Shampoos made specifically for color-treated hair ensure the life of your hair color and smooth and silky strands.

Don’t Shampoo Your Hair for 72 Hours After Coloring 

After dyeing your hair, the longer you don’t shampoo it, the more time the color pigment has to absorb into the hair. However, if you wash your hair immediately after dyeing it, the color will wash away easily since the cuticle layer is opened.

Good after-coloring treatment will keep your hair color vibrant longer than you can imagine. Don’t hesitate! Start your journey of experimenting with new revitalizing hair colors without the fear of having faded tresses soon after a hair coloring appointment.  

Investing in shampoos and conditioners specially designed for color-treated hair is a perfect way to keep the brilliance of the color.
