My Dark Hair Color Fades Really Fast
Q) - My dark hair color fades really quickly when I color it.It turns a gross light color every time. I cant seem to get it right! It just fades again whenever I try it. Please help me. I don’t know what to do! Is there a hair color that won’t fade so quickly?Professional Hair Care Tips - Next time you color, don't wash your hair again (after you color you must wash though) for at least a few days. Be sure to condition well too and also rinse with a cold shot of water. That helps close your hair cuticle and lock the color in place. Darker hair color fades very quickly for a lot of people, so don't feel alone. Darker hair colors have very dense color molecules. That means that they contain a lot of color molecules closely packed together. You may have noticed a lot of color in the shower when you shampooed it, well after you colored it. You must allow your hair cuticle to have every opportunity to absorb as much of the color that's there, as much as possible. That means not washing it a lot at first. It takes hair a while to hold that many hair color molecules! The other way to protect your dark color is to use 10 volume peroxide instead of 20 volume. If you are using a box color, they give you 20 volume. To make your own 10 volume peroxide, mix the peroxide you get 1:1. That is 1/2 & 1/2. One part water to one part peroxide. Say for example, you get 4 ounces of peroxide. You want to mix that with 4 ounces of water. Mix it up and you will have 8 ounces. Then discard half of it as you only need 4 ounces to mix with the color you bought. (Or you could simply use 2 ounces and mix with 2 ounces of water and save the rest of the peroxide for another time.) You will then have 10 volume peroxide which is a total deposit developer. That will give you rich, full, dark colors! But still, don't wash it a lot at first. Other things you can do is to buy color enhancing shampoos. They will help protect any hair color(s). I always suggest using major NAME BRAND hair colors, like L'Oreal or Clairol. These folks really know their color and are the most dependable! All hair color fades a little over time, but it shouldn't change never wash out of your hair, like you have described.
