Any ways to keep the red highlights in your hair without them fading?

Just got burgendy highlights and its only been a week and they have faded a lot- could it be the shampoo Im using? My hair lost its shine too!Any ways to keep the red highlights in your hair without them fading?
there is nothing you can do to keep it completely from fading. If you use primer it also helps keep them in. And yes it does depend on your shampoo, you need nice shampoo and conditioner. it also depends on the quality of the hair dye. Bioterra is the shampoo I use for my hair. Any ways to keep the red highlights in your hair without them fading?
Yes, it could be the shampoo you are using.


Use a colour locking shampoo and conditioner duo, also use a colour lock mask once a week.


I recommend pantene pro v colour lock shampoo and conditioner, and i recommend garnier fructis colour lock hair mask. They both help your hair colour stay longer, and they will bring the shine back to your hair.





Another factor that contributes to colour fading is salt water, chlorine, and the sun. When you are out in the sun try to keep your hair covered OR like me, you could use a special heat protectant balm that has UV filters built in to protect your hair from both heated styling tools and the sun. Also, before you go swimming, soak your hair in fresh water. The fresh water fills up the hair folicle so that once you go in the water, your hair is already full so the salt water or chlorine cannot enter your hair folicle and damage it...it works just the same as a sponge, once you fill it up, no more water can enter it.





good luck =]
Well red is the most fading-est color. And some colors fade to red, before they lighten to orange and go away, as a weirder orange, to beigey or barely brown.





You needed to set it, or fix it with a fixative rinse after you got it colored.





Then use a colorfast shampoo, that retains and emphasizes all color, and is light on 'detergents' or soap.
i was dying my hair fire engine red for months.. and geez.. it fades so fast..


first of all.. wash your hair in cold water only.. this kind of sucks but it made my color last weeks longer..


like others said.. a good shampoo and conditioner is a must.. it needs to be color safe..


avoid straightening and drying your hair a lot.. heat makes it fade.. which is why hot water is bad..


get a good hair dye.. do you have a sally's shop near you? they sell dye that you have to mix up yourself.. it's better quality.. use a higher developer also.. i used a forty with mine.. but i have dark hair..


which by the way if you also have dark hair.. they make red dyes for darker hair.. those are nice.. like i said, sally's sells all this stuff..


the people that work the counter in there are also really great and can answer most of your questions.. they help a lot..


regardless though.. red is the smallest color molecule.. so it's going to fade.. you could bleach your hair out first to make the color more vivid.. but that's horrible for your hair..


don't leave conditioner sit on your hair either.. shampoo cleans the surface of your hair.. but conditioner goes into your hair so it kind of saps the color out.. that's what i was told at least.. i could be wrong..


anyways! i hope at least some of this helps you out..
you'd have to go to a beuty store / saloon were they


sell shampoo and conditioner. normally they


will have color treatment shampoo to not get faded which is caused


by sun/washing/heattreaments[striaghting].


its more expensive them normal shampoo but its


worth it.
