I've just dyed my hair a vibrant red. It's beautiful and I'd like to keep it this gorgeous colour. Has anyone got any top tips please? And do those coloured shampoos work?

Yes, the color shampoos definitely help keep your color from fading for a little while longer than regular shampoos. Whatever you do, don't use a "clarifying" shampoo as this will strip your hair of its lustrous color (these shampoos are great for removing product buildup on uncolored hair.) Also, refrain from washing your hair every day. Wash it every two to three days, depending on how oily your hair is, and wash your hair in cool water. I have had "red" hair for ten years now, and it fades very quickly without taking these precautions. I have dry hair, but my scalp gets oily so I wet my head every day, wash my hair every 2-3 days, and use a powdered hair refresher (try Stila brand found at Sephora) on my roots to absorb excess oil in between washes. I also use a hot oil treatment to vamp up my color and give me an extra week or so before I have to color it again. Hope this helps!

If you are the type of person that washes there hair everyday you should do this anyway but if you are this person do not wash your hair in very hot water the water such be cool to luke warm or as in between as you can stand. And when appling hair spray do not hold the bottle of spray to close to hair because the alcohol in the spray also strips the color from the hair and the shine, you can try using a clear coat of semi permanent color, you can look at it as being the same as appling polish to the nails and putting a clear protectant coat on top,yes it does mean that you go under the dryer again but this is the price of beauty

I don't know about the color shampoo's, but I do know that if you use shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair, that helps.
If you got it done at a shop, you'll need to go in again in about 6 weeks to get the roots touched up and they will also re-do the rest of it as well.
I was a natural red-head and then I started going Grey too young, so I dye it now myself.
Just keep up on it and take care of your hair and you'll be OK.
But it never lasts for long luv, sorry.

Use Johnsons Baby Shampoo and Detangler. The knock off brands dont have the softening agents that the name brand of Jonsons does. Its gentle on your hair, not harsh thus stripping and dulling your color. You can spend a fortune on the others that say they are specially for color treated hair, but its all hype and advertising. Stay with the tried and true, and Johnsons has been an "oldie but goodie" for years ! The others leave a residue that dulls your color.

get shampoo that deposits hair color everytime you wash your hair and it should stay that way it will get dull but you really cant stop that.. try not to wash you hair everyday!! go every other or even three days if you can handle it! Good Luck.. Aveda has good products.. also I would just go to a salon and ask.. you may have to pay some extra money but it will be worth it!! Trust me.. Red is very hard to keep from fading..

Chose a shampoo especially for colored &/or chemically treated hair. Wash every other day instead of everyday if possible. If you are going to be in the sun for a prolonged period of time wear a hat or find a leave in conditioner with an SPF in it for your hair. The sun will lighten the color.

Colored shampoos only work if you buy them from a salon and color will only stay rich if you use the salon formulas. I did box color for years and finally started going to see my Hair Goddess, Heather. My hair has never been so healthy during treatments and all the chemical dyes. That's the best I can tell you!

The colored shampoo/conditioners do work. After a while though
it still will fade, just not as fast. Then you can buy a glaze (Walmart/Target) and refresh your color. Hope this helps!!!,

While some hair fall daily is natural, stress, hairstyle products and lack of nutrition can cause excessive hair fall as listed at http://tinyurl.com/kshvn . By changing your lifestyle and using herbal remedies, you can reduce hair loss. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/py7z4 .
