how do i keep my freshly colored brunette hair darker longer?

Question

i just colored my hair dark/medium brown hair...any ideas on what i could put in my hair to make it stay dark? i have heard that putting coffee in your shampoo is a good way for it to look bright... anyone tried it?

also i have to be outside for 2+ hours a day

what shampoo should i get? also it needs to protect my hair from the sun

Answer 1

unless you want to smell like a coffee bean all day i say skip the homemade messes and get a shampoo that maintains the color. They have shampoo that protects the color and shampoo that adds color daily.....

Answer 2

There is a shampoo you can get at Sally's Beauty Supply called "Browns" by Quantum. It has a tinting agent in it to preserve your colour. Just choose correctly if you have a reddish tint or if you have a straight brown. The brown will have a slightly purple colour and the other is for auburn/warm shades of brown.

There are other brands by Clairol available at Sally's too, and they have helped my colour all summer (my hair lightens so fast).

Answer 3

i think of Aussie has colored shampoos which will help. so a techniques as being interior the solar, placed on a hat or something. The solar will certainly lighten it up for you. I easily have tried coffee, yet you may verify with a hair fabric wardrobe until now attempting someting like that. I recommend inspite of each and every thing, look what it does on your abdomen!!! Yuck.

Answer 4

use a tinting agent now and then, don't shampoo as often and try to stay out of the sun some. or you can just recolor it every couple months

Answer 5

Try a color in shampoo.

Answer 6

don't wash as often.
