If you color your hair then you know that fading is inevitable! After just a few weeks the color goes from bright and bold to totally boring! It seems like the only answer is to re-dye, which just damages your hair even more! Thankfully, we found a few great tips to help keep the color without having to re-dye week after week!

1. Use a hair mask that has color pigmentation or color protection properties, you should only use it about once or twice a week. We really love Maria Nila Colour Masque. Maria Nila comes in a range of colors and will give your hair an instant color boost! We also like Nutri Color Creme from Revon Professional .

2. People that color their hair want to make up for it by doing hair treatments and moisturizing masks, sometimes even every day! This is great for your hair, but bad for the hair color! Hair masks will cause the color to fade faster and will strip your hair of it's newly colored shine. When you color your hair you should only use products that are designed for colored hair.

3. Remember that you don't need to wash your hair every day. You can go several days without washing your hair, if this seems hard for you start by washing your hair every other day and go from there! Washing your hair every day will strip it of its new color and natural oils.

4. End every wash with rinsing your hair in cold water, this will help to seal in the color for longer periods of time! It will also make your hair less static-y!
