Do not keep the dye on your hair for a long time
While coloring hair, some people think that the longer they leave the color on, the better the color will be, but this is not true. Keeping color on hair for a long time can damage your hair. Therefore, apply the color to the hair only for 20 to 30 minutes and wash it.

Along with this, different types of problems on the scalp such as dryness of the scalp, etc. can also arise in front of you.

Do not wash hair with hot water
Some people have a habit of bathing and washing their hair with hot water. Bathing with hot water can be relaxing but it is harmful to hair color. Bathing with hot water makes the hair weak. Along with this, the color of the hair also fades. To wash your hair, wash your hair with lukewarm water instead of hot water. It not only takes care of your hair but also strengthens it.

Wrong shampooing
After coloring, experts advise you to apply shampoo only so that the color of your hair does not fade. But many times we ignore their advice and start using our regular shampoo.

Colored hair shampoos contain the same ingredients that protect your hair color from fading. This keeps the color in your hair for a long time.

Avoid sun exposure
Hair dye is a kind of time-consuming process, so you need to give time for better results. Due to strong sunlight or staying in sunlight for a long time, the color can disappear from the hair. If you are going to stay outside the house for a maximum time after applying hair dye, then you can carry a scarf or a hat to protect it.

Not using a heat protector
Earlier people used to go to a parlor to straighten and style their hair. But now gradually the trend is changing. People set hair using styling tools at home. If you have colored your hair, if you use tools without using a heat protector, then the hair gets faded quickly. The silicones and moisturizing agents present in the heat protector protect the hair from damage. Also protects the colors from fading.

Re-dye too soon
