Don’t Wash Your Hair Too Often

It’s important to remember that red hair is most vibrant right after it has been dyed, and frequent washing will cause the dye to fade faster. So, if you want your ginger hair color to last as long as possible and not fade into a dull brown/blonde tone, try not to wash your hair too often. Instead, aim for 2-3 times per week (but even once per week will suffice).

Using dry shampoo can also help extend the life of your color between washes by absorbing oil at the root of your scalp. This will help keep your roots looking fresh until you’re ready for another wash day!

Use a Color-Safe Shampoo

One of the key tips for maintaining your hair color is to use a shampoo that is specifically formulated for colored hair. This will help keep your color looking vibrant, and it can also help prevent damage and fading.

• A sulfate-free shampoo will be more gentle on your scalp, which means that you don’t have to worry about dryness or irritation.
• A purple shampoo is great if you have brassiness in your hair – this type of product helps counteract any yellow undertones so they’re less noticeable.
• Moisturizing shampoos are also great, because they’ll keep your locks looking shiny and healthy without weighing them down with too much product (which could cause buildup). They’re perfect if you need some extra hydration!

Heat Protect Your Hair

As with any hair color, it is important to maintain your ginger locks by using the right products and protecting them from heat.

To protect against heat damage:

• Use a heat protectant spray before styling.
• Use a good quality hair dryer (think ceramic) instead of an inexpensive one that blows air at high speed. This will reduce drying time and help keep your hair healthier in the long run!
• Don’t use hot rollers or curling irons on your newly colored ginger locks as this can lead to breakage and split ends over time if done too frequently (even though we all love those curls sometimes). If you must curl your hair, consider purchasing a wand instead which does not get as hot as traditional irons do—it’s worth noting that these wands don’t create as tight waves either so if this is what you’re looking for then opt out of using any type of wand altogether!

Get Regular Trims and Highlights

Highlights can be a great way to add depth and dimension to your hair. If you want more than just a subtle change, consider getting highlights every 6-8 weeks. This will help keep the color from looking dull and prevent any one shade from becoming too overwhelming.

If you’re planning on getting highlights or if you do already, be sure not to use bleach. The last thing anyone wants is for their gorgeous ginger hue to fade away after only a few weeks! Instead, look for color-safe shampoos that won’t cause damage or breakage when applied regularly—and remember that taking good care of your hair in general is key (wash with cold water and avoid harsh products).

Once or twice a week, try applying a weekly hair mask after washing your hair with shampoo as usual; this will help keep the health of your locks strong even as they continue changing over time!

4 Pro Tips for Maintaining Your Ginger Hair Color

Now that you’ve found a great colorist, it’s important to maintain your color. Here are my four pro tips for maintaining your ginger hair:

• Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner in order to preserve the vibrancy of your hair color.
• Heat protectant is essential when blow drying or straightening as this can cause damage to the cuticle layer of your hair, making it look duller than it should be.
• Get regular trims and highlights so that they don’t grow out too far and make an impact on how thick or thin the ends look like in comparison with the rest of the length which may be more noticeable due to gradual fading over time (if not maintained). This helps maintain shine throughout all layers instead just one area being brighter than another part because there was no way around getting rid off those split ends before they turned into something worse like frizziness (which happens when hairs get too dry). Plus keep growing out those bangs until they’re long enough so they fall behind both ears rather than just one side–this gives them more body without having any flyaways sticking out overtop them! 😉
• Don’t wash every day unless absolutely necessary–especially during summer months where sweat builds up faster due hot temperatures outside heat waves causing high humidity levels indoors without air conditioning systems working well enough yet . . .
