Keeping dyed hair colour vibrant and strong

With the use of the semi permanent dyes a major problem that nearly everyone encounters is the fading effect. With some dyes this can be after a few weeks with a slight lessening in brightness whilst with others it can be as much as after one wash you look like you have had an accident with the toilet duck.

The Trick

Keep your colour looking as good as the day you dyed it by adding a small amount of your colour to a conditioner and using it as often or as little as you think necessary. 

For me, I use it maybe once every two to three weeks when I use red or pinks and every other wash when using blues or greens. The length of time you leave it on is, again, dependent on how much fading you have seen. I would always suggest at least 3-5 mins and the longer the better. Plus, it never hurts to leave conditioner on bleached or dyed hair




Before

I let my hair fade to a light pinky lavendar colour then used the conditioner with a mix of three parts conditioner and one part dye. 

After

This was after two conditions over three days
