We all know that it can be frustrating when your colour fades quickly. There are several causes of colour fade, but luckily there are also ways to prevent it.
Our team of experts are here to share an insight into the causes of colour fade and prepare you with our top tips to help you maintain your colour at home.
What are the causes of colour fade?
1. Washing too frequently. Washing your hair too often can strip the colour from your hair. Try to limit washing your hair.
2. Using harsh shampoos. Shampoos that contain sulfates can strip the colour from your hair. Use a shampoo that is specifically formulated for colour-treated hair and is sulfate-free such as the Josh Wood Colour Miracle Shampoo and Conditioner.
3. Exposure to the sun. The sun's UV rays can cause colour to fade. Wear a hat or use a UV-protectant spray when you're spending time outdoors.
4. Heat styling. Heat styling tools like straighteners and curling irons can cause colour to fade more quickly. Try to limit your use of these tools, or use a heat protectant spray before styling.
