VIDEO: How to Prevent Hair Color from Fading / Second Day Curly Hair Routine

Nothing is worse than paying to get your hair dyed and it fading out within a couple weeks. Whether you dye your dark like mine, a bright vibrant color, or even blonde, color can look dull for a number of reasons. I’ve experimented with several methods that I think have helped make my hair color last longer. I go to an Aveda salon, where I have my hair dyed a plum-brunette color every 6 weeks. I’m sharing methods I use for second, third, and even fourth day hair to prolong my curly style as long as possible without washing it.

Tips for Making Hair Color Last Longer:

1. Wash hair every 3-4 days instead of daily (see video for no-wash styling methods)
2. Use a “color conserve” shampoo (not just color safe) that is designed to work with your particular hair color
3. Use a sulfate free shampoo
4. Protect hair from the suns rays with UV and heat protectant products
5. Avoid heat styling as much as possible
6. Use a shower head filter to remove chlorine and minerals in hard water
7. Sleep in a SLAPSto preserve style therefore washing less often
8. Shampoo hair with a clarifying shampoo before coloring to remove product build up and allow color to penetrate
