How to Make Hair Color Last Longer
Hair color can dramatically change your look or can be used to add subtle highlights
and definition to your hairstyle. Unfortunately, all hair coloring fades with time,
diminishing the vibrancy and richness that your hair had immediately after coloring.
It may be tempting to color your hair more often to compensate for color fading, but
more frequent chemical processes lead to breakage and hair loss. In order to minimize
the fading process and prevent the need for frequent retouches, you can take steps to
help your hair color retain its vitality and richness.

1. Select the Right Color and Prepare Your Hair for the Coloring Process
If you prefer low maintenance hair and want to avoid frequent touch-ups, select a color
that is only a few shades lighter or darker than your natural hair color. Because it is
more closely matched to your natural hair, fading will not be as apparent and roots will
be less obvious. Another excellent way to minimize color fading is to ensure that your
hair is healthy before coloring. Several days before you color, apply a deep conditioner
and allow the treatment to sit on your hair for 10 to 15 minutes. Well-conditioned hair
absorbs color more readily, resulting in longer lasting color. This conditioning treatment
will also help protect your hair from the damage caused by chemical treatments.

2. Use Color-Enhancing Products
There are many shampoos and conditioners on the market that help preserve and
boost hair color. To lessen the need for frequent touchups, women with blonde or light
hair should use color-enhancing shampoos that help reduce brassy tones and disguise
roots. Brunettes and redheads should try color-enhancing products that brighten hair
color and deposit minor amounts of tint to compensate for color loss. Color-enhancing
conditioners are helpful for women of all hair shade and retain color by smoothing the
cuticle of the hair and adding moisture. One of the best ways to ensure your color
remains fresh is to keep your hair well conditioned in order to prevent dryness and
damage.

Custom Products
Some salons offer color-enhancing products that are custom-made for your specific hair
color. Color enhancers sold in stores are targeted towards a general hair color, such as
blonde, red, or brunette. However, some stylists can prepare a custom blend specifically
targeted toward the exact color of your hair. These mixtures help perk up hair color
between salon visits. Ask your stylist about custom-blends and the cost of the
treatment.

3. Other Techniques
When you color your hair, ask your stylist to use permanent hair coloring only. Semi-
permanent colors fade much faster than permanent dyes. Retouches should be applied
only to the roots and not to the length of the hair. While you may eventually need to
recolor all of your hair, it is best to keep colorings to a minimum to avoid excessive
damage. After your hair has been colored, do not apply hot oil treatments or protein-
based conditioners, which prevent color from properly saturating your hair and can
actually strip your hair of tint.

When washing your hair, avoid using excessively hot water. Cool water helps hair retain
a richer color tone and helps to smooth the surface of your hair. You should also avoid
excessive exposure to the sun and chlorinated water, which can actually leave a green
tint on light hair. By properly preparing your hair for the chemical process, using color-
enhancing products, and carefully caring for dyed locks, your color will retain its

Every time you color all your hair at once, as in coloring it the brown, then when it fades, and you do your roots, if you do your whole head again, that is what is causing the fading. No matter what brand of color you use. The reason is because permanent hair color lightens your natural 2 levels, then redeposits the color. Overlap it a few times, and under that color on chin length hair, is light blonde. So now you're trying to keep pigment on light colored hair... a tough job. Yeah it looks dark, but it's all artificial after 4 colorings, that's 2 levels of lift each time, bringing your natural tone up a total of 8 levels. There isn't enough natural red pigment left to hold the color. The fix: Your next color, apply it ONLY to your roots. Make sure you process the correct amount of time. During the last 10 minutes, pull the color through the ends. Use the excess from the bottle. This way, the lifting process has already happened, and it will only deposit the color on the ends. This will refresh the ends without reprocessing them. Also be sure to use a good color care shampoo for brunettes. Do not mix a new bottle to put on the ends, this will begin the processing again. You could also switch to a semi-permanent color, whish is deposit only and no lifting. It will fade, but it won't leave roots besides the hair colored previously permanent. Regular trims to reduce the amount of previously colored hair will make the process easier from here on. All the hair on your head now needs to be cut off over time to get the brassiness out for good, with proper coloring from here on. Nothing wrong with Feria, as long as you do it correctly.

I have tried everything and they all seem to fade on me. I don't know if my hair just doesn't hold color as well as other hair textures but even when the salon does it, it still fades. If you are diligent about taking care of your roots, and you do let the color over the complete length for a few minutes before rinsing, it does help to maintain the true color. I love feria too- it's the nicest home color that I have ever tried.

Answer 4

One thing to remember.
Feria is really bad for your hair.

It messes with the natural pigments. My friend is a hairstylist and hates feria more than any other box brand. I forget exactly what it does to your hair...ask your hairstylist.
