Buy John Frieda Brilliante Brunette. It will boost your hair's shine, make hair healthier and it will keep your hair color lasting longer.

Shampoo & Conditioner questions related to dyes & perms are in a category of their own. If your normal shampoo and conditioner isn't doing what you need it to do then there are a couple of alternatives, one being product related and the other, method related. First, take a look at what products you are now using. Are they the same products you used before you dyed your hair? Did you change products but see they haven't worked for you? If the answer is yes to both, you'll need to put those away and step up to a higher level. Do not use combination shampoos and conditioners and do not use anything but salon/professional products. Theses are usually available to you through your local beauty supply houses and many salons, although salon buying can bring the price up a great deal.

The products I recommend here are for anyone who has the problem you have. The least expensive way to go is to use a gentle shampoo from any well known manufacturer for color treated hair and a super condtioner like Humectress in order to treat your 'weatherized' look. If you cannot find a great shampoo for color treated hair then, at the very least, use a gentle shampoo like Johnson's Baby Shampoo on it. This will ensure that you do NOT to take too much more moisture or color out of your hair. Next, give it an extremely good towel drying so that it's about halfway there before you condition. Then apply your conditioner and leave it on a full 30 minutes before givinh it a thorough rinsing. Style as you normally would and remember that it may take one or two of these treatments before you begin to notice a change.

The other treatment involves one more step BEFORE your shampoo and conditioning routine. I am hoping you know and can procure exactly what product was used in the initial dying of your hair. You'll also need the ratio of products to peroxide or developer that was used; In other words, you need the formula. If a non-professional product was used, such as a drug store bought color kit, that's ok. When you get your hair back to its pre-dyed state, you'll probably not have to do this again unless you expose your hair to more sun, chlorine pool water, salt water and any other oxidizing agent without using the routine I outlined above. When you have the proper mixture (formula), use only one quarter of it and mix it with an equal part of the shampoo you are using. Wash you hair with this solution and leave it on for no longer than 7-10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, give it a light second shampoo (without dye-product) then condition and style as usual. Good Luck!

One more hint...always shampoo and condition hair BEFORE and AFTER using color. The reason this is not recommended by most manufacturers is that some products may irritate the scalp if you shampoo too heavily beforehand. The trick here is to go easy on the scalp and wash your hair, only once, beweeen your hands to the extent that this is possible. Just don't treat your scalp as though it's a scrub board and you'll be fine. Dry hair thoroughly before applying dye. This means blow drying on the coolest setting to avoid opening skin pores. Again, this is the best way to go without causing undue irritation to the scalp.

Shampoo and conditioner will not give you the results you want. I would definitely go to a salon and either get a clear glaze or get a slightly darker or warmer semi-permanent glaze. These will both give you shine and get rid of the dullness. After these treatments, you can help your hair further with a good shampoo and conditioner. With the complaints of dullness, your hair is probably a little dry or brittle. The best shampoo I've tried for this problem is Redken AllSoft shampoo and conditioner. Also, once a week use AllSoft Heavy Cream. Leave it in for 10-15 minutes and then rinse with cool water. You can also use Farouk Systems Silk Therapy in either wet or dry hair. This helps with frizz, dullness, and also help to reconstruct your hair.

nice and easy makes something called a "glazeing" kit, and its for you to use in between colorings, just make sure you get the one for either the lighter or darker brown depending on your hair color.. If you dye your hair you dont want to get a shampoo that says something like taking off the daily stress from your hair, because it strips... I dye my hair alot, and i use aussi Moist Shampoo and Conditioner and i love it! might wanna try it sometime... Really hope this helps you, and good luck.... Email me if you need anything

Go to Wal-Mart and get a color shampoo by "Tressame" ( not sure of the spelling, sorry)
be sure to get the correct color. Put a tablespoon of olive oil in the shampoo and shake it up real good. The olive oil will help to bring back the shine.
I learn this trick from my stylist.
Hope this help.

Buy color enhancing shampoo and conditioner, such as Pantene, Freida, etc.
Wear a hat! Or buy some sunscreen for treated hair.
