I've been having issues with the adore hot pink hair dye. It keeps fading fast. I bleached my hair to a pale blonde and have only had the pink in for about 3 weeks,I've had to recolor it twice in that time. Is there anyway I can slow down the fading?
try some different pinks! Directions flamingo lasts well, and people swear by SFX pinks! It may be that adore just doesnt do a good pink. Different brands do different colours well.
On saying that here are some things that help colour last!
-rinse hair in cold water after washing to shock the cuticles closed, or wash in cool water if you can stand it.
-rinse hair in cider vinegar after dying to balance the PH (or use a PH balanced shampoo)
-only wash your hair once or twice a week. Its bad for your hair to wash it much more than this anyway, as it strips the natural oils, and if your hair is already bleached then it needs them.
-if your hair is not bleached, consider a quick bleach bath even if your hair is very light in colour naturally. Virgin hair doesnt hold onto colour well. Alternatively you can use a pre-colour shampoo (colour B4 make one) to help ready your hair for the dye.
-if your hair is over-bleached or over-processed, it won’t be able to hang onto the colour
-heat fades dye very quickly, so consider using less heat styling.
-get some cheap conditioner and add some pink dye to it, so every time you condition, your colour is being refreshed (even if you only leave on for three mins)
