If you are using a level 2 hair color (will state what level on box) that is semi permanent..Level 3 is permanent..also, if you use any "shine" sprays, laminators, etc..they fade the color..If the color is just ading, that is..if the color is actually washing out in large amounts you didn't rinse it out properly on the first application...also, was your virgin or previously colored? if your hair has been "processed" alot, it is less porous and won't hold the color...

Hey. This happens to me to i think it depends on your hair type as so i have heard is that if your hair is more conditioned it will retain the hair colour better. Generally the first couple of washes the hair dye does wash out but then gradually stops. Reddish dyes also wash out more easily than other colours. Hope this helps

if you are going 3-5 shades darker you should color fill your hair kind of like a primer. that fills in the porous areas in your hair and makes a clean canvas for your hair color. in situations like this i thinks its best to leave it up to the professionals. it will be cheaper in the long run. and also always rinse with cool water.

You want to make sure you do not wash and condition your hair before you apply the color. Believe it or not, it works better if the color red has some "dirt" to attach to. Sounds weird but true. Red has the largest molecules and is very hard to maintain the brightness of the colors of red. If you try a pre-lightening process, then the cuticle of the hair will be open and the molecules will therefore be able to attach to the hair shaft. Remember, conditioner coats the hair so about a week before you attempt to color your hair, you should use a good deep cleansing shampoo, such as tea tree, to rid your hair of all the buildup of daily products. With lots of hair, conditioner tends to buildup. Also, washing your hair that often dries it out and will make your hair fade, especially red. Be sure to rinse your hair in cool water after your daily conditioner. Hot water is almost melting the color. Cold water will close the cuticle that the hot water just opened up. Just like your skin, hot opens the pores and cool closes them. I am a blonde that goes red OFTEN and it always turns out different but I like variety. Its cool to see the makeup or a strand of hair, try it. Good luck.
