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.

Question about what kind of red highlights to get for my darkbrown-black natural hair color?

I need to get my hair highlighted tomorrow and I prefer a dark red shade on my natural head of darkbrown-black tint. I want it to look like a mahogany/auburn in the sunlight when I am out so it's shiny and dark red. Not sure if you have seen but Indian girls do get this shade of red done on their hair, it looks like henna but the highlights are a dark red. What shade of highlights is that exactly?Question about what kind of red highlights to get for my darkbrown-black natural hair color?
You can get those shades of highlight that you are looking for, by just using natural body art quality henna powder from a good source. It must be pure and you can do this all yourself. Check out longhaircareforum.com, as its a great ressource for information.





Doing henna on your hair will be the best !! Hope this helps





KhadijaQuestion about what kind of red highlights to get for my darkbrown-black natural hair color?
I know the look you are talking about and in my opion its quite beautiful.





The exact colour that you end up with depends largely on the exact colour of your hair, and if you have dyed your hair already or not.





I would recommend having it done at a salon. They will show you samples of different colours (on hair strands) so you can pick which shades you like the best, and then they will custom mix it depending on your existing colour etc to get the desired effect.





But if you wanted a cheaper way, you could talk to the cosmatician at the local pharmacy and get her opinion. It might not turn out quite as you imagined, but it would be a cheaper alternative.





Be careful with reds though, I would recommend using the special shampoos and conditioners designed for red hair. Red fades the quickest of all dyed colours, and could turn orangish or pinkish in no time if not taken care of properly.





Good luck!

What would blonde hair with like a real red highlights look like?

Like i have sandy blonde hair kinda with blonder streaks but i want to add some color so i want some like real red highlights right on top or something. What do yall think?What would blonde hair with like a real red highlights look like?
Ok I dont think real red would look that great unless your going for over the top and alot of upkeep since true red fades the fastest. Also if you have ruddy undertones it will make you appear more red!!! My advice if you like red is to try some strawberry blonde highlights first, that way your still in the blonde family its just punched up a bit. If you like it but want more color next time add a more intense red.What would blonde hair with like a real red highlights look like?

I dont think red would look that good really, but like pink or something bright like that would !

I have light blonde hair and i want red highlights. How can I do this at home?

I don't want to go out and buy a kit or anything? What can I use at home to give my light blonde hair red highlights?I have light blonde hair and i want red highlights. How can I do this at home?
First of all, the term is not highlights; it's lowlights. Second of all, you probably wouldn't want to try it because your hair has a very likely chance of turning orange. Save up your money and go to a professional salon. Remember when you get there that the term is LOWLIGHTS. Highlights means sections are a lighter color than the rest. Lowlights is the opposite. Actually, I'd recommend more of a burgundy or black for lowlights.I have light blonde hair and i want red highlights. How can I do this at home?
use kool-aid you can rinse it out with no problem
dont dye it, dont ruin your hair, i'm sure its very pretty. i wish i had never dyed my ahir, i miss my natural colour.
If you dont want to buy a kit then Kool aid works
Nothing home made is going to give you red highlights. If you wasn't going to use an at home kit, just save up the extra money and go to a professional. Don't risk messing up your hair.
Well, the best thing to do is to go out and buy a kit--if you have a walmart or a drugstore they are very cheap~around $8. Also at these stores they carry permanent kits or temporary (wash-out) kits. BUT if you really just don't want to buy a kit, I only know of one thing to try. Kool-Aid. That might sound crazy but I've done it before. Pretty much any Kool-Aid flavor will do, just pick the color you want, mix it up a little strong (ie less water) to make a paste and put it where you want to highlights. This color will last about a month.
Kool aid
Well you have to buy a kit dear! How else are you going to highlight your hair? Oh don't use Kool-aid though. Um well you want a home remedy? I can't think of anything but use a Henna perhaps.
