Hey, guys! So I dyed my hair just YESTERDAY with Garnier's Color Foam, and I washed my hair today, only to have a lot of colored shampoo suds going down the drain! I am panicking just a weeee bit (in case you couldn't tell. :P) since this is my first time dying my hair. So can you tell me if this is normal or not? How do I save my color from washing away? Thank you!

What color is it? If its like red or purple or something like that its completly normal those color wash off pretty fast. If its brown, the first 2 or 3 washes are like that but it stops going down the drain after a while :)

@Ariane L. Yes, it is a dark red. Does this mean every time I wash it I'll have less an less color? It said on the box it would be 'permanent' >~<

Yes I dyed my hair dark red like 5 times and it always happens. It stays perfectly red for maximum 2-4 weeks but you can still see some red adter those weeks. Next time I would recommend buying more professional hair dye maybe it'll help.

Red will always wash out, the pigment in the colour isn't as strong as others. Just make sure you are usually regular shampoo not like "dry scalp shampoos" because that'll make it fade quicker;o

And wash your hair in cold water! it helps. I've been dying my hair red for like two years now. it's red now, just not super red like when I first color it.

You should get some little 8 wash red colours or a fudge to put in your shampoo so it dosn't fade too much this will prevent the orange ends

Red alwaaayyysss does that. no matter what. Even after I get mine professionally done or I do it myself. There are some shampoos that prevent it, and also showing in cold-ish water helps, hot hotter strips color faster. Maybe even invest in dry shampoo?? Unfortunately there really isn't much you can do, red hair is high maintenance haha. :* Xx

After dying your hair you're not supposed to shampoo it for about ~72 hours so the dye chemicals can set in your hair. :) You can wet it and condition it, however.
