6 Easy Ways to Extend the Life of Your Hair Color

Maintaining a vibrant hair color can be a really tough challenge. The key to having gorgeously colored locks (and keeping them that way) is all about proper hair care in-between salon visits. This does not mean adding major steps into your beauty regimen. In fact, it all gets down to small lifestyle changes that anyone can do. Here are 6 ways that you can extend the life of your hair color.

1. Stop using shampoo every single day

Washing your hair too often doesn’t only result in a dry and lifeless mane, but it can also make your hair color duller. The shampoo strips your hair of color and also all natural oils from your scalp that nourishes and keep the hair looking healthy. The same oils are the ones that help your strands to take color better. That being said, keep your color fresh by using shampoo only a few times a week. Find out if you are you making these common washing mistakes here.

2. Avoid hot tools

Turning up the heat on your styling tools can be tempting when you want to achieve the ultimate #hairgoals. However, that heat could be the reason that your color is looking a bit dull. Excessive use of hot tools can make your color fade faster than you wish, so avoid them as much as possible.

3. Use the right products

In a previous post, we talked about the 5 products your really need and why, but when it comes to color-treated hair, you might want to upgrade your hair care routine slightly. Dyed hair requires more attention, so invest in salon-graded products for colored hair.

4. Give pigmented products a try

Today, a lot of brands offer hair products such as shampoo and conditioner designed to enhance the already existing shade of your hair. Depending on the current color, the products may contain marigold or yellow shades for golden blondes, violet shades for white blondes and so on. A pigmented product can be used weekly or biweekly for a fresher tone.

5. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate

When having your hair colored, it’s more important than ever to keep the strands deeply hydrated. Hydrated hair holds onto color better and helps it to produce more shine than thirsty, dehydrated locks. Replenish your hair’s moisture by using a deep conditioning mask once a week.

6. Consult with a professional

Figuring out what best for your specific hair is not easy. And let us be honest – no one knows your locks better than your stylist. Make sure you get their opinion on the best products and what you should be using when you get home from the salon.

    My wife has been looking into having her hair colored for awhile now and I’ve been worried about helping her do it because I would hate if I were to make a mistake. I liked that you had mentioned that it can be best to talk with a professional first to see what they can recommend for the hair. I might just have to take her to a professional to see what they can do with her hair, I’d rather get it done right the first time for her sake.

    Thanks for the tips for maintaining hair color! I am going to get my hair colored soon, and I want to make sure it stays vibrant. I like that you mentioned that heat can actually cause the color to fade from your hair. I will make sure to avoid them as much as possible once I get the color, thanks.

    That’s interesting that hot tools can result in a dull hair color. I’ve been considering dying my hair through a hair colorist for Halloween, but don’t want to mess it up before Halloween comes around. Avoiding hot tools and reducing the use of shampoo, I hope to have the right hair color for my costume when I get my hair dyed.

    I like that you mentioned using professional advice when getting color done and what products to use to care for it. They have spent a lot of time to learn the ins and outs of these things. If you don’t ask questions you are wasting their service.

    I have been wanting to dye my hair for a while now, but last time I had it done the color only lasted for about a week before it started to fade. I would love to know some tips to keep the color longer! I didn’t know that using hot tools a lot could make the color fade faster! I will have to try and figure out how to style my hair without hot tools to help then! Thank you for the information!

    I really like that you mentioned using a deep conditioning mask once a week. I’m a single dad and have two daughters at home that have recently taken an interest in hair colors. Knowing how to maintain the color and keep it looking nice is what I’m most concerned about, being that I’ve never had to deal with this before. I want to make sure my daughters are happy and that it turns out the way they hope!

    After reading your blog post I browsed your website a bit and noticed you are not ranking nearly as well in the search engine as you could be. I possess a handful of blogs myself and I think you should take a look at speed rank SEO. You will find it a very good tool that can help you rank on the top of search engine, just search speed rank SEO on google. Keep up the quality posts

    After I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now every time a remark is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any approach you possibly can take away me from that service? Thanks!
