Help for fading hair colour

Unfortunately, you can’t avoid the fact that hair colour fades with time. Natural factors, including the air and sun and chemical influences, like harsh shampoos, can all contribute to this problem. Furthermore, red dyes tend to fade faster than other colours for some reason. If your hair colour seems washed out but it's too soon to get it coloured again, speak to your hairdresser about trying a rinse, a gentle semi-permanent or a colour-enhancing shampoo to perk up your look. To help minimise fading after you have your hair coloured, be sure to use a gentle shampoo made specifically for colour-treated hair. And if you’re going to be at the beach or out in the sun a lot, cover up your head with a cap or hat.
