Hi everybody.. I need advice so badly about hair color.. I have colored my hair 3 times these last 6 months but every time I color my hair, the colors wouldn't stay last longer.. I once bleached and colored my hair light and since that every time I colored my hair dark, the color won't stay long and fade into more brighter color.. Any suggestion and advice of how to make hair color stay longer and do not fade in only about 3 weeks after the coloring? Really need help here :( Thanks..
The advice I've utilized and heard most often is to not wash your hair as oftenas you normally would. You should be washing your hair 2-3times a week, definitelynot every day or every other day. When it gets oily you shoulduse dry shampoo or baby powder (it works!). Everytime you wash your hair youre virtually washing the color out, so.
It also helps to use sulfate-freehair products, such asthe loreal everpure sulfate-free line, for example. That one's pretty affordabletoo. But if you havethe money I recommend Pureology products! Also use the coldest water you can on your hair - the warmer the water the more it strips your hair of the color because itopensup the hair follicles.
Heat products also basically melt the color outof your hair so try to use those less often.
Also a lot of people put hair dye in their conditioners to keep it vibrant.
