I have dark brown hair that I just dyed, I'm inlove with the color. What can I do to help keep it looking rich and dark?! I've heard coffee works, anything else?

I don't know what coffee will do for you, but you'll want to use a shampoo and conditioner for color-treated hair, try not to wash your hair every day, but if you do use cool water, avoid over exposure from the sun, use less heat, and touch up regularly.

I agree with alli a shampoo/conditioner for color treated hair is best and also minimal washing is also best - every time you wash your hair or use heat (or even hot water) it fades the color that much quicker

Washing your hair in cool water and trying to keep it out the water as much as possible. I love my Nexxus Color Shampoo and Conditioner or and Sulfate Free (L'Oreal's is good) color care shampoo. John Frieda has color glosses that help when your hair is looking dull, they have them in the hair color aisle. Ignore the purple bottle in the pic, its Shimmer Lights for Brunette and Red and its good for brown hair but only if you have reddish tones, if not then I feel like it makes the brown look more faded.
