Why does hair colour fade? The main culprits for your diminished hair hue are environmental factors (including UV rays), washing, heat styling and damaged tresses. By understanding the causes, you can take the necessary steps to preserve your just-coloured hair shade for longer. Use a shampoo and conditioner developed especially for coloured hair These are more gentle on coloured hair and won’t strip the pigment. Some also contain small amounts of pigment to revive hair colour. Wear hair sunscreen Always apply products with in-built UV filters to protect hair from the fading effects of the sun. Use thermal protection Using hot styling tools such as straightening irons or blowdryers without heat protection is a short-cut to colour fade and damaged hair. Apply a thermal protection product to your hair EVERY time. Wash with care Avoid washing your hair within 48 hours of having your hair colour done. Then, try to use tepid water on your hair instead of hot every time you wash to help reduce the damaging effects of hot showers. Hair treatments When hair is damaged it becomes more porous, allowing hair colour pigment to escape from the hair cuticle. Weekly hair treatments will help keep your hair healthy and maintain its hair colour.
