I dyed my hair with permanent red dye two days ago. I had blonde & light brown highlights that were from 8 months ago (from a salon) and I figured that it wouldn't come out perfectly even since my hair's naturally almost black.


It came out with multidimensional colors... and i LOVED it. It's already fading. What's weird is; it's fading out of the blonde pieces only. (A significant part of my hair) Besides touching up the color with the leftover dye I had (I mixed it with alittle conditioner and i treat it like a hair mask every night) and using protective shampoo, is there anything else I can do to get the color to last longer? And how long until I can dye it the same color again? I'm thinking two treatments would be better because my hair was so dark.


thanks for any help!

at-home red fades badly and quickly. salon red stays for a while longer. mine has been obnoxiously red since november. if you're short on money go to a school and offer to be a test subject. if you absolutely must do at-home red then redye it and use an extremely gentle shampoo. I've been using nature's gate grapefruit and ginger. It would also help to use a natural shampoo with henna. I know lush makes one that works well.
