How do you keep red hair vibrant?

�h��r�

I'm going to color my hair a red color (a lot like Ashlee Simpson's was) but I know that the red dye doesn't stick to hair as long as others... so what kinds of things can I do so the color wont fade as fast? Also what products work the best?

Thanks in advance!

Answer
redken color protectants are the best of their kind.
always wash with COLD water. it keeps the hair shaft closed.
wash hair as less as you can...
reds fade in the sun. stay out of the sun or wear a hat!
heat also fades reds so use less heat!
hairspray, gels etc cause fading as well.

I had ariel red hair cor a few years. reds will fade no matter what you do to them, but i kinda did this and it helped save my red for about 2 weeeks extra!..try it!

Does anyone have any tips for keeping red hair vibrant? Every time I dye my hair red, it fades into this ginger-kid orangey color.

Answer
i fight the battle of trying to keep my own hair red.....
the less you wash the better, so to go longer without washing try using dry shampoo which you spray into the roots and brush out. I can normally go a day longer without washing when i do that.

also, an 'SLS' free shampoo can help. SLS is the chemical that makes shampoo foamy but it majorly strips hair colour. You can normally get it from health shops.

Wash it in fairly cool water as well, the hot water opens up the hair shafts and lets the colour be washed away quicker!

How do you keep your unnatural hair color vibrant?

I use the product Splatt in red or Manic Panic in Vampire Red, and they both fade really quickly. But I see people all the time with really bright and vibrant red hair. How do you keep it so nice and brightly red instead of it fading to pink?
I use color protecting shampoo and conditioner, but my hair looks gross and horribly greasy when I skip a day of showering. I also didn't do all of my hair, just most of it.

Answer
I would use a color protecting shampoo and conditioner, but one of the more expensive brands like CHI or Bedhead. Unfortunately though, haircolors like the red you're describing have to be dyed more often that other hair colors. One of my friends uses the same color and has to dye her hair about every 3 weeks in order to keep it nice and red. Also try not to wash your hair as often because the shampoo strips color.

Answer
I have my hair colored red also...I use a non-soap shampoo (I know it sounds odd) It works- its expensive ($17 a bottle- the Deva line) but I bought mine in November and I'm still using it...I only wash my hair every 3rd day...I rinse it and condition on the others. It works! I only have to go in for coloring every 5 months because of it

What vibrant hair color will last the longest?

Heather Rh

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.

Austin

I recently started dying my hair a bright red color. But I've found that red fades very quickly, and I've had to die it about once a month, if not more, to maintain the color. How can I make it last longer?

Answer
1) don't wash your hair too often (like once a week)
2) when you do wash your hair, use red shampoo and conditioner
3) while dying your hair, use a protein filler. it makes the color more vibrant and it lasts longer

Whats the best (and perferably cheap) way to keep your hair color?

MRose

I finally got my hair color to where I want it, and its gorgeous, but it usually fades pretty quickly. What products can I get that will help me keep the color vibrant and healthy for a longer period of time?

Its red, and red's hard to keep

Answer
Here are a few ways:
-look for clarifying or cleasing shampoos. they help get rid of the product build up and environmental agents that clog up the cuiticles. use this every 3 shampoos
-try looking for shampoos that are low in sulfur. sulfur is the agent that make the shampoo lather up. the sulfer is also the agent that causes the color to fade.

in the end....if you get your hair professionally done, ask them what brand they use to color your hair. then go out and look for that product line. For example, if a salon uses REDKEN color, then use REDKEN products. The reason is that the products are formulated to help care for that particular line's color.

What is the best shampoo for colored red hair?

Nicole

I dye my hair red and have a serious regimen that I follow to keep it vibrant. I wash my hair with Matrix Shade Memory shampoo for Vivid Reds, followed by a L'Oreal Artist color depositing shampoo in Red Bark then a Matrix color protective conditioner. They have discontinued my Matrix Vivid Reds, and I now need a replacement. I would like something that is specifically for red hair as opposed to just colored hair, but it needs to be clarifying. Thanks!

Answer
i would recommend timotei cherry or red berry for coloured hair !
really good for coloured hair as i have dark violet hair and i use it , smells great aswell lol :)
