Whether you have your hair professionally colored or you use home hair coloring kits, you'll always want to make your hair color last as long as possible and here are few ways through which that can be possible.

When you select hair color to put on your hair, make sure it's a professional blend and not go for the cheapest. Because in the long run, you might spend a few more bucks- but the color will stay vibrant longer. Before coloring your hair, deep condition it a week before the coloring. This can help the hair color "grab" onto your strands- preventing discoloration and fading throughout time. You can also wash your hair atleast a day before you get your hair colored as washing will protect the hair shaft and help to prevent fading much like deep conditioning. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and chemicals in pools and hot tubs. The UV rays from the sun can dry out your hair color, making it look dull and lifeless. You can even wear a hat orba scarf when outdoors to protect your hair from heat and to keep color bright.

When rinsing out dye or washing your hair, use only cold water. This helps keep color longer. To make your hair color last longer, you can even use sunscreen that provides defense against UV rays. If you have colored your hair, then. Washing your hair regularly can do more harm than good. The detergents meant to get grime off your scalp cause color to fade faster.
