Want Your Red Hair Colour to Last Longer?

Why Does Red Hair Fade so Quickly?
It all comes down to the red pigment itself. The molecules of red dye are larger than in other colours. That means the colour molecules have a harder time getting into the hair cuticles. It also means that the pigment can easily escape from the hair during washes. That's why specially designed colour care products are so crucial for all shades of red hair.
Red Hair Maintenance Tips
Tip #1 - Use Cold Water
Hot water opens the hair cuticles giving the colour pigments the perfect opportunity to sneak out of your hair. Turn down the water temperature to prevent early colour loss.
Tip #2 - Dont over-shampoo
Washing your hair too much is one of the biggest causes of loss of colour, especially for red hair. Try to wash your hair less often, 3 times per week maximum. Find a good dry shampoo for days you are not washing your hair.
Tip #3 - Only use Colour-Safe Products
There are a lot of ingredients out there that strip the hair. This is especially problematic with red hair. Make sure all your hair products are colour safe to avoid loss of colour and hair damage in general.
