Can I leave my color shampoo in over night?

I've recently gotten my hair dyed a deep red, and red fades very easily as you know. I have a red depositing shampoo, but not a red depositing conditioner. The conditioner is for people who have red hair, but it doesn't deposit anything. I left the conditioner in over night and I'm still not getting the deep conditioning results i want from it. Suggestions?


Answer
If you leave the shampoo in over night your hair will likely lose colour faster because the shampoo actually strips the colour, so don't do that. My suggestions are to wash your hair in cool-cold water which will keep the hair follicle closed so you don't lose colour as fast and invest in a red depositing conditioner that you can keep on for a while and let your hair soak in the pigment. You're wasting by buying a red depositing shampoo because of how it strips the colour. Also, try to avoid heat styling as often as possible because that will definitely make it fade faster. I hope this helped.

How can I darken my red hair without losing the natural highlights?

Q. I have red hair, but I'm out in the sun a lot and it's streaked with both blonde, and a little gray these days. I would like to darken it up a little, because the color looks a little washed out and has no depth, but I don't want that single toned look of coloring, and I don't want to cover all the highlights. Is there a good wash or technique for adding a little depth to the color? My hair has never been colored before, and is in good condition.


Answer
Your best bet is to try a color depositing shampoo. It revs up the natural tones in your hair and kicks up the hue without drastically changing the color. Your second best bet would be a color glaze, which does basically the same thing, though the color glaze is not used like a shampoo but like a conditioner.

John Frieda has both of these products for red hair.

If you actually want to dye the hair, one thing you have to remember is to make sure that the package has "semi" or "demi" permanent on the box and absolutely make sure it says "ammonia free". With natural red hair you do NOT want ammonia, it will end up orange. If you are going to dye it, pick a shade that is no more than 2 shades lighter or darker than your natural color. This is especially important since you are trying to preserve the natural highlites. You mentioned you have some gray, so keep in mind that grays are more stubborn to color than pigmented hues. They may turn out lighter than the rest of your hair.

Many other brands have color glazes and color depositing shampoos but John Frieda is a popular one. L'Oreal and Garnier are also good, and both offer "box dye".
