Over-color.

• Over-color. When you’re first beginning to try out a new hair color, be sure not to overdo it. A good rule of thumb is to wait at least two days between appointments with your stylist so that you can let your hair breathe and grow out without becoming damaged by too many different chemicals in one sitting.
• Use products made for colored hair. Many of the shampoos and conditioners that are marketed towards people with colored hair aren’t necessary; they just make marketing sense because their target audience is already looking for something specifically formulated for their shade. Instead, look for products that say “color-treated” on them—they’ll be gentler on your strands while still protecting them from fading too quickly or losing vibrancy in other ways (for example: I used regular shampoo until recently when I started using a product called Olaplex).

Heated brush tools.

If your hair gets damaged from being over-processed or from being exposed to heat tools on a regular basis, then you may want to consider getting a new brush. These tools can damage hair if used too often.

The type of damage that heated brushes can cause includes breakage and split ends in addition to dryness. To prevent these types of issues from happening, be sure to use the lowest heat setting possible when using them (even if they come with higher settings). You should also only use them once every few weeks and never put your hands near the barrel while it’s running since this also causes damage.

If you want to avoid any negative effects that heated brushes could have on your hair in the long term, then make sure that they use ceramic barrels instead of metal ones so there is less friction between the brush itself and whatever else it touches (like someone’s scalp). Also make sure they come with multiple sizes available so they won’t overwork any one area too much while styling—this way no single part will get overworked more than necessary!

Using too much heat on your hair.

One of the best ways to protect your hair color is by avoiding too much heat. Heat styling causes damage, whether it’s from a flat iron or curling iron.

Heat styling your hair repeatedly can mean that you’ll need more frequent touch-ups at the salon to keep your look fresh (and more frequent trips for cuts), not to mention the fact that repeated use of hot tools can cause split ends, which are one of the main signs of aging in hair.

If you must use these tools, make sure to do so sparingly (no more than once per week). Use a heat protectant spray before applying any kind of heat and always use a brush or comb first before using either tool on wet strands—this will help prevent breakage due to tugging while drying.

Stop dying your hair so often, and be careful when you use heat products if you want to preserve your color and healthy hair.

If you’re looking to preserve your color and keep it looking healthy, there are a few things you can do. First of all, be careful when using heat products. Use a heat protectant before blow drying or straightening your hair (especially if you have bleached hair). Also take care with the temperature setting—if possible, use a lower heat setting rather than cranking up the dial. And make sure that whatever tool you’re using has some kind of protection against overheating; an extra layer of protection won’t hurt! If all else fails and your color still fades after dying it again, perhaps try switching to a similar shade but with less damage potential.

If possible avoid dying or coloring your hair as often as possible (and definitely don’t go more than every six weeks). The more often we dye our tresses, the more likely they are to become damaged over time.
