The only thing worse than dull and drab hair color is warm and orange overtones. Ash brown hair will always be in style, but let’s face it, finding the perfect ash-brown hair color can be difficult, let alone maintaining your locks shine for weeks on end. Which is why we here at StyleCraze have curated a list of the best tips and tricks to keeping your ash brown hair color vibrant and looking salon fresh this summer and beyond.

Ash brown hair comes in many different shades and is often considered one of the more difficult shades to achieve, but once you find that perfect shade and maintain it properly, it will be well worth your time.

We found a great list of tips on how to keep your ash brown hair vibrant and looking salon fresh this summer and beyond:

• Ash Brown Hair Color Tone-Downers: If you’re thinking about going darker or lighter than your natural color, don’t worry! There are some easy ways to tone down any unwanted brassy tones that come with an over-processed look. Have an appointment with a stylist who can help reduce any unwanted warmth in your locks by adding in lowlights or highlights or even using conditioning treatments like glosses or toners after every shampoo session. If all else fails there are also products available at drugstores like “Clairol Natural Instincts” which can help neutralize yellow undertones without damaging strands like bleach does! These products work by neutralizing red/orange pigments within hairs; resulting in shinier strands without frying them into oblivion (which would result after multiple uses).

Use a purple shampoo.

If you want to keep your color looking great, use a purple shampoo right after you wash your hair. Purple shampoos are designed to help keep the brassy tones that can come with colored hair at bay.

Make sure you’re using it correctly:

• Wash your hair with the shampoo just like normal, but make sure that it’s not soapy before applying the purple dye.
• Apply the purple dye from root to tip, making sure to get every strand of hair covered in the product (if any area is left out, it may turn brassy).
• Leave on for about five minutes; this will allow time for maximum absorption into each strand of hair (but don’t leave in too long). Then rinse thoroughly with cool water until all excess product has been washed away from all parts of your head (especially near ears and face).

Condition your lengths (but not your roots).

Conditioning your hair is a great way to enhance shine and softness. However, it’s important to keep in mind that you should only condition your lengths, not the roots. You don’t want to apply conditioner to the ends of your hair, because this can weigh down your strands and make them look greasy. If you’re looking for shine and softness from conditioning products but don’t want them at the roots (like if you have very fine or thin hair), try applying the product about halfway down through each section of your head instead of all over.

Don’t wash every day.

You should wash your hair every other day or when it starts to look greasy. When you do wash your hair, use a dry shampoo, which will help keep the color from fading. Washing too often will strip some of the color away, so use a mild shampoo and cool water rinse instead of hot water to avoid overdoing it.

Switch up your routine with a different conditioner.

If you’re looking to switch up your routine, try switching from a regular conditioner to a deep conditioning mask. The best time to use it is after washing your hair with shampoo and conditioning it with said product. Then, put on the deep conditioning mask (which usually has an orange or pink color) in place of the regular conditioner, leave it on for ten minutes, and rinse off with warm water.

It’s important not to overdo using these masks—no more than once every other week would be recommended! But if you want better results from this treatment, make sure that before applying the mask (or any other beauty product), you’ve put some thermal protection spray into your wet hair first–it helps protect against heat damage caused by styling tools like flat irons or curling wands when used frequently on dyed tresses such as ash browns that are particularly vulnerable due their lighter shade

Protect your strands from the sun.

Protecting your strands from the sun is one of the best ways to maintain an ash brown hair color over time. When exposed to UV rays, your hair can become dry and brittle, causing it to break off. To prevent this damage, try wearing a hat when you’re out in the sun or at least put your hair up in a braid or ponytail. If you exercise outside often, try using a conditioner with UV filters that protect against heat and prevent fading while protecting your scalp as well. If you have access to them in stores around where you live then check those out first; otherwise there are plenty of options online too! Also remember not forgetting about using sunscreen on top of head because it’s easy for us humans forget about adding more layers onto our heads especially when we’ve been doing this for years haha…

Shield your locks from the chlorine in pools.

• Use a leave-in conditioner with UV protection.
• Wear a swim cap to avoid chlorine damage! It’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your precious hair color.
• Rinse your locks with fresh water after swimming in the pool and make sure to use a clarifying shampoo afterward if needed.
• Use purple shampoos as needed, but only on the last step of your hair care routine since they can cause buildup over time. (We love this one from OGX.) However, if you do notice some green tones appearing at the ends of your strands, try using an ash brown shade instead—this will cancel out any unwanted brassy tones while keeping the vibrancy of your color intact! You can also use sulfate-free dyes that are designed specifically for darker shades like black or blue-black instead of blonde ones because they won’t lift up all those lovely reds that were so carefully crafted into place by our amazing professional stylist!

Enhance your color with a cool-toned styling product.

The best way to maintain your hair color is by using products that help enhance the vibrancy of your color. Some examples of these are purple shampoos and conditioners, as well as thermal protectants that can be used before heat styling tools (like blow dryers).

You should also use a dry shampoo between washes; this will help absorb oil in between washings and keep your hair looking fresh. If you have any questions about how to care for ash brown hair, please contact us!
