I don't usually like to brag, but I have got some rocking vibrant red hair! I'm super proud of my ginger locks; they're my defining trait. But I've heard that in time, red hair fades to a dirty brownish color. It's not that important to me that I'm going to dye it when that happens, I just would like to know some ways to keep it as long as I can.
Or even some products that would put in a little extra "Whoa!"

Answer
i have dyed red hair (naturally brown) and i like to use the John Freida line for Radiant Reds. they have a shampoo and conditioner and also a glaze that sort of deposits color. i find that i don't have to dye my hair as often when i use these. plus, they smell fantastic!

I want to dye my hair a vibrant red,blue,or purple... I've heard its hard to keep those colors vibrant,I will be getting it done professionally but still want input on peoples personal experiences! If you have any info please let me know! Oh and my hair is black so I have to bleach first yuck!

Answer
No matter what color you choose it is going to fade. There are ways to keep it looking vibrant though. The most important is to use a shampoo for COLOR treated hair. Redken has a great one. Next, rinse your hair with cool water only. Using hot water will open up your cuticle and let some of that color out. Last, see if your stylist can make you a color refreshing conditioning treatment which basically consists of the vibrant color you choose and conditioner that you can use once a week to keep your color bright and vivid.
