Fading Red Hair Colors

The problem of fading red hair colors is a big one, but here is one of the best ideas I’ve read lately in how to combat this prevalent problem.

Mention this idea to your hair colorist to try if you are having this problem. I would caution you about trying this at home. Key to the success of this method will be choosing the right shade of red and brown and knowing the right length of time to leave the glaze on your hair.

The porosity of your hair will determine the right timing. You could easily end up with dried out hair that is much darker than you wanted. So my advice . . . leave it to the professionals.

Other fading red hair colors remedies:

• Use a gentle shampoo & conditioner for color treated hair
  
  
• Wear a hat or scarf in the sun
  
  
• Easy on heat styling
  
  
• Use a thermal protector before heat styling
  
  
• Use a leave-in conditioner at the beach or pool
  
  
• Try a color enhancing conditioner on regrowth
  
  
• Use a color clarifying shampoo when needed and follow with deep condition
