GREAT COLOR ALL THE TIME!
TIP-Reduce Fading
All hair color fades. Even natural hair color lightens because of environmental elements, particularly the sun. To maintain hair color you must protect the integrity of the hair by keeping it in the best possible condition.
The first defense is to have a sealer applied immediately after the service. This helps to close the cuticle of the hair shaft and re-balance the pH level of the hair. Your stylist should always recommend a sealer.
Second, your at home regimen should match the condition of your hair. Are you using the proper products to keep your hair in is optimum condition? If hair is dry, brittle, or weak your color will fade faster. Ask your stylist to analyze your hair and make a recommendations for at home. Hair that is in poor condition accelerates environmental effects on the hair and not all "color shampoos" protect the hair.
