Washing less is best. There are other options aside from shampoo to help keep your hair feeling clean. Dry shampoo and a quick scalp massage will help soak up oils. Using conditioner only will help distribute the oils and scrub your scalp. Co-washing (conditioner washing) will be the most effective.
Cool water doesn't have to mean ice cold. Rinsing in cool water will help seal the cuticle and prevent color molecules from bleeding.
Between dry shampoo and co-washing you might notice that its not working for you anymore… time to shampoo. Shampooing is ok. You need to remove the buildup from your hair.
Hot tools can make hair color fade quicker. Turn down the heat on your irons and be sure to use a heat protectant. Not only will this protect your color but it will be healthier for your hair in the long run.
Some shampoos and conditioners deposit color by themselves. They can help keep the color vibrant and looking fresh.
Shampoos with sulfates and parabens are known to be harsh on the hair and will cause the color to fade.
