Minimize how often you wash your hair
- Pace your washes. I know this can be difficult, but when you wash your hair, you risk the chance of color fading. Try dry shampoo as an alternative.
Cool water is your friend
- Use cool water while wash and conditioning your hair. Cool water keeps the hair cuticle closed and minimizes color fading during shampoo routine.
Styling Tools on Low Temperature
- Heat is one of the leading reasons for color fading. Style hair on low temperature 350-370. Try semi air drying your hair after shampooing. Use rollers at night or braids for curls in the morning. To freshen up curls, try a quick roller set before showing in the morning. Cover your head with a cap. This will work as a hair dryer. Style your hair last when getting ready for the occasion.
Use Protection While Enjoying the Sun
- Remember, your hair is like your skin and requires protection from the sun. To avoid color fading due to sun exposure, wear a hat and use daily hair products with SPF.
Pigmented Shampoo and Conditioners
- Use pigmented shampoo and conditioners. These are perfect color boosts for in between color touch ups.
