Professional Hair StylistChoose a sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo. These have a pH in the 4.5-5.5 range, which is the same as hair. That will ensure the cuticle stays closed, which will preserve your color for longer.
Tips
- While touch-ups can be really helpful, too much dye might damage your hair. When people get their hair dyed professionally, they space out their appointments by 4-6 weeks—feel free to use this as a template for your own touch-ups.[16]Thanks
- A dye with purple undertones is less likely to fade to green.Thanks
Warnings
- Don’t wash your hair for at least 3 days after you’ve dyed it blue. If you wash your hair too soon, your hair might fade.[17]Thanks
