If you are considering dying your hair, you should consider using a natural hair dye. Natural hair dye uses organic, natural ingredients, as opposed to chemicals and ingredients that you can't even pronounce. These things do not belong on your body and especially not anywhere near your head or face. Natural hair dye uses ingredients such as carrots, beets, coffee, and tea, in addition to a number of other ingredients that can dye your hair color naturally in a non-toxic way. If you are using a natural hair dye, there are ways to prevent the color from fading too quickly. Read on for tips to prevent fade.

Wash Hair With A Gentle Shampoo And Conditioner

Don't wash your hair for at least 72 hours after dying your hair to help the color adhere to your hair properly and prevent fade or washing out. When you do shampoo your hair, be sure to use a gentle shampoo that is safe for color-treated hair. If you can skip shampooing here and there, just use a dry shampoo instead of washing it. Use conditioner to hold in the color and to keep it from drying out.

Avoid Heat Products

Try your best to avoid heat products for styling to prevent damage to the hair and to prevent fading as well. If you do have to use heat-styling products, be sure to spray your hair beforehand with a product that helps protect it from the heat.

Avoid Chlorine

Avoid swimming in a pool with chlorine or a hot tub that contains chlorine as well, as this can not only strip the color from your hair but can also cause it to change colors as well. Your hair may end up a shade of green or even yellow that you didn't intend on having. 

Use A Water Filter

In your shower, you may want to add a filter to your faucet to prevent metals in your water from stripping the color from your hair as well. If you have a high metal content in your water or a high chlorine content in your water, this can occur. See about using a water filter in your shower-head.

If you are going to be dying your hair, consider a natural alternative to chemical-loaded hair dyes to color your hair. Protect the color using the tips above. Talk to your stylist about other ways to protect your hair color.
