Love that hot shower? It might be time to turn down the heat. Hot water can cause your vibrant colors to fade faster. Instead, opt for cool or lukewarm water which helps to keep the hair cuticle closed, locking in that fabulous color.

I tend to wash my hair in the sink and leave my hair up in the shower. If I’m not being burned by the fires from the core of the earth in the shower, I’m not satisfied.

Washing your hair too often can strip away the color. Try to shampoo just 2-3 times a week. And when you do, use a sulfate-free shampoo designed for colored hair. Between washes, lightly condition your hair to keep it hydrated and healthy.

Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from the sun’s UV rays which can fade your color. Wear a hat or use hair products with UV protection to keep those hues as vibrant as a summer sunset.

On your non-wash days, dry shampoo will be your secret weapon. It helps absorb excess oil and keeps your hair looking fresh without the need to wash and risk fading.

Regular touch-ups at the salon will keep your color looking fresh. Also, ask your stylist about using a toner or color-depositing conditioner at home to maintain the intensity.

Remember, the healthier your hair, the better the color will hold. Treat your locks to regular deep conditioning treatments, and try to avoid heat styling as much as possible.

Love swimming? Don’t forget to protect your hair from chlorine and saltwater which can wreak havoc on your color. Wet your hair with fresh water and apply a leave-in conditioner before taking the plunge.

As your color fades, it can transform into new, equally stunning shades. Enjoy the journey of your hair color evolving, just like a prism of light changing its hues.
