1. Use Colour-protecting Hair Products
Pick the hair products that have colour-protecting ingredients in them. Using such hair products, be it shampoo or conditioner, will prevent your hair colour from fading away too soon.
2. Deep Condition Without Fail
This is one basic hair care tip that can go a long way in protecting your hair colour. Deep conditioning will keep your roots nourished and prevent it from drying or getting brittle and, most importantly, it will make your hair colour last longer than usual.
3. Avoid Hot Showers
In order to protect your hair colour from fading away too soon, you must avoid taking hot showers, as hot water can have adverse effects not only on your tresses but also on the hair color, which might make it fade away early.
4. Apply Apple Cider Vinegar
This is a traditional method of making sure that your hair colour lasts for a longer period of time. Just mix 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with ½ a cup of water and rinse your hair with this solution, and you just have to do this treatment once in a month. This will prevent the highlights from fading away.
5. Don't Wash Your Hair Frequently
Don't wash your hair on a frequent basis, as it will end up in washing away the hair dye as well. Also, cut down on the number of times you shampoo your hair to prevent the hair colour from fading.
6. Stay Away From Heating Tools
Excessive usage of heating tools can affect your hair cuticles and also fade away the colour. Instead, you can opt for natural ways to style your hair.
7. Protect Your Hair From The Sun
The SPF is not just vital for your skin but also for your tresses, especially if you've recently coloured your hair. Sun's harmful UV rays can lessen the impact of the hair colour, so always protect your hair from the sun while you're out.
