Try a gentle wash<\/h2>\n

Treat your red strands like you would your delicate clothing. Make sure you\u2019re using a color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo<\/a><\/span>, which won\u2019t strip the color from your hair. Sulfates are the stuff that make a shampoo foam, removing dirt and oil. But they can also remove color (as well as your hair and scalp\u2019s natural oils<\/a><\/span>). Aim to find a shampoo that\u2019s formulated without harsh sulfates such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and that contains mild cleansers such as cocamidopropyl betaine, derived from coconut oil.<\/p>\n

Water temperature matters, too. Wash hair using lukewarm water, not super-hot. Hot water lifts the cuticle layer of your hair, letting the red run out. It\u2019s similar to washing bright clothing in hot water: the colors will bleed. And if possible, try not to wash every single day. Over-washing will cause hair color to fade even faster.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t skimp on conditioner<\/h2>\n

Conditioner does more than give your hair a silky-smooth feel. It coats your strands, sealing the cuticle layer down, and plugging up any porous spots so those color molecules can\u2019t escape. Apply a hydrating conditioner to strands after every shampoo and use a weekly deep conditioning treatment such as a mask. An ideal conditioner contains mega-moisturizers such as honey, squalane, jojoba and argan oils<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Style smarter not harder<\/h2>\n

Another factor that can can lift hair\u2019s cuticle layer is heat styling. Before using a blow dryer or flat iron, apply a styling serum designed to seal the cuticle and protect hair from heat damage<\/a><\/span>. Alcohol-based styling products (think hairsprays and gels) are also notorious for dimming hair color, so look for formulas that are labeled alcohol free. Also consider adding a hair oil<\/a><\/span> to your regimen. You can use it on dry ends to add moisture and shine, and, like conditioner, they plug up porous spots in your hair shaft, helping lock in those color molecules.<\/p>\n

Stay out of the sun<\/h2>\n

If there was ever any doubt about sun\u2019s ability to fade things, go check out a brightly-colored couch that\u2019s been sitting in front of a window. Pretty drab, huh? UV rays lighten everything from fabrics to natural hair color, so you can imagine the toll they take on color-treated strands. Dyed red hair fades and can turn orange-y after too much time spent soaking up the sun. To save your strands, wear a tightly-woven, wide-brimmed hat when you\u2019re outside for long periods of time. But don\u2019t forget to protect hair from sneaky sun exposure, too, for example, your open sunroof in your car, your office with a view, etc. Additionally, styling products and treatments that contain UV filters can help safeguard your red strands when you can\u2019t wear a hat. Ingredients that contain natural UV filters include coconut and karanja oils.<\/p>\n
