Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner.

• Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner.
• Use products that are safe for color-treated hair, such as gentle shampoos and conditioners that are sulfate-free.

Try a hot oil treatment.

For a hot oil treatment, use a heat protectant on your hair before you get started. Then put 1/2 cup of coconut oil and 1/2 cup of olive oil in a bowl. Heat the mixture in the microwave for about 30 seconds until it’s warm enough to liquify but not bubbling up. Pour it into a plastic baggie and seal it closed so that all of the air can be removed from inside of it (you don’t want any pockets of air making your hair look frizzy).

Now apply this mixture onto damp or wet hair as if you were shampooing normally with conditioner, then massage gently into each strand for about five minutes (this step is key!). Leave this mixture on for about 20 minutes before rinsing off with cool water until all traces are gone from your head!

Use a cold rinse on a daily basis.

The cold rinse is a must. It’s not just good for the environment—it’s great for your hair color, too. Hot water opens up the hair cuticle and can lead to fading and dullness. Cold water has the opposite effect: it seals in moisture, which helps keep your tresses looking fresh and vibrant longer. This also makes it easier to maintain that beautiful Auburn color you love so much!

Shampoo your hair less frequently.

• Shampoo your hair less frequently. Over-washing your hair can result in dryness and damage, which can cause your color to fade faster. If you are experiencing dryness, try washing with a deep conditioning treatment once a week or every other week instead of every time you wash it.

If you don’t want to go as long between shampooing, consider using dry shampoo between washes to freshen up your locks and remove excess oil from your scalp without stripping the color out of them.

Schedule regular trims with your stylist.

Trimming is one of the most important things you can do to keep your hair looking healthy and never going too long between visits to the stylist. It will also help if you have split ends or just want to get rid of some dead ones that are hanging around. Trimming can make your hair look thicker because it makes it appear fuller, and that’s always a good thing! You can also use a little bit of product like dry shampoo at home to give yourself more volume too!

The real reason we recommend trimming though is so that you don’t end up with damage from heat styling like blow drying or curling irons. This might mean having to go back more often than 4-8 weeks depending on how often you use these products but do it anyway! If possible invest in some good quality products without sulfates (this means no sodium laureth/sodium lauryl sulfate) which they might not sell at every drugstore but ask around at Sephora or Ulta because both stores carry great brands like Oribe which are worth trying out if nothing else works for you.

Try washing your hair in cold water to keep your color from fading.

Wash your hair in cold water to keep your color from fading.

When you wash your hair, it can be easy to let the hot water run and warm up the shower for a few minutes. However, if you’re trying to save money on energy bills, or just want to reduce the amount of time spent heating up water when you could be doing something else like reading a book or talking with friends, consider washing your hair in cold water instead. The colder temperature will help keep some of those harsh chemicals in check while keeping that beautiful Auburn color looking fresh!

Use a nourishing hair mask once a week for extra color protection.

Aveda Color Conserve Shampoo is a fantastic option for this. It’s a purple shampoo that removes brassiness and yellow tones from the hair, making it more vibrant. This shampoo helps in maintaining your color longer than using regular shampoo. Aveda also has another product called Damage Remedy Restructuring Masque, which works well with their shampoo as well.

Use this mask once every week to give your color an extra boost of protection against fading! Make sure to use it at the ends of your hair first since they tend to fade faster than the rest of your strands–you’ll be surprised how much they can benefit from these products!

Keep your color looking rich by using a deep conditioning treatment at least once a week.

If you want to keep your hair color looking rich and vibrant, it’s important to use a deep conditioning treatment at least once a week.

A leave-in treatment is great for this, as it will help to keep the strands from drying out. You can also use a deep conditioner or hair mask once or twice each week if you have time. Finally, using an oil after rinsing out all other products will seal in moisture and give your locks some added shine.

You can maintain a vibrant red hair color if you take care of it correctly, even in the sun!

• Use a leave-in conditioner. While you’re in the shower, apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner to your hair. This will help keep the strands moisturized and prevent breakage. If you don’t have one, you can use olive oil or coconut oil instead!
• Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner (if you color your hair). These products are specifically made to help protect against fading while still bringing out the best colors possible on your locks!
• Avoid heat styling tools like flat irons whenever possible because they cause more damage than good when it comes to Auburn Hair Color Maintenance over time (especially when used regularly). Instead try using handheld blow dryers with cool air settings as well as letting your tresses air dry naturally whenever possible!
