1
Wash your hair less frequently. The number one cause of fading hair color is over-washing. Washing two to three times a week is sufficient for most hair types.
-
2
Avoid color-stripping shampoos. Shampoos containing sulfates are much too harsh for most hair types, especially hair that has been chemically or color treated.

3
Use thermal protection sprays on your hair before blow drying or using flat irons. This will prevent damage to your hair, and keep your color looking fresh.
-
4
Apply a styling product that contains a hair sunscreen before going outside. Sun exposure will cause your hair color to fade.
-
5
Deep condition your hair weekly. Healthy hair will hold color better than dry, damaged hair. Coconut and jojoba oil are nourishing conditioning oils appropriate for colored hair.

6
Install a filter on your shower head to limit the amount of mineral deposits, like chlorine, in your water. Chlorine and other mineral deposits can build up on the hair shaft, fade hair color, and make your hair color appear dull or brassy.
