Use color-safe shampoo and conditioner: Invest in products specifically formulated for color-treated hair. These are designed to be gentler on the hair and help maintain the vibrancy of the color.

Wash hair less frequently: Washing hair too often can strip away the natural oils and color from the hair. Try to extend the time between washes, ideally every 2-3 days, to help preserve the color.

Wash with cool water: Hot water can open up the hair cuticles, leading to color fading. Use lukewarm or cool water when shampooing and rinsing your hair to help seal the cuticles and lock in the color.

Avoid harsh hair treatments: Minimize the use of heat styling tools, such as flat irons and curling irons, as excessive heat can cause the color to fade more quickly. Also, be cautious with chemical treatments like perms or relaxers, as they can also compromise the color.

Protect hair from the sun: UV rays can fade hair color over time, so it’s essential to shield your hair from the sun’s harmful effects. Wear a hat or use UV-protective hair products when spending prolonged periods outdoors.

Use leave-in treatments and serums: Apply leave-in conditioners, serums, or hair oils designed for color-treated hair to help moisturize and protect the hair from environmental damage.

Avoid chlorine and saltwater: Chlorine from pools and saltwater from the ocean can strip away hair color and cause dryness. Before swimming, wet your hair with clean water and apply a protective leave-in conditioner or wear a swim cap to minimize exposure to chlorine and saltwater.
