I know that red fades, but this is ridiculous!
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!

Not only is red the hardest color to get out of your hair, but it is the hardest to put into your hair.
My hair has been every color under the sun (literally) in an estimated 15 year period of time.
It is fading from the blonde because, number one, it is the lightest color of hair, and number two, if the blonde is from highlighting, those strands are more damaged and have an even harder time taking on red.
I wouldn't advise color treating your hair no sooner than one week following the first time. The chemicals are far too damaging to do it over and over. If you do it too much and too often, your hair will literally liquefy into a spoungy mush. No good.
If you plan to go red, your best bet would be to have a salon do it first, then touch up your roots and such as needed at home if you choose. Salon coloring chemicals are WAY different than what we buy in the store, so they would be able to get the color to actually set in.

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.
