Red Hair Color Zero Color Fade Tips

Red hair color typically is a fall-favorite with salon clients, yet it can be some of the most challenging tones to achieve. Red shades tend to wash out quickly and fade fast, mainly when hair color is applied to dirty, dry, and damaged hair. At COLURE, we recommend preparing the hair first with the COLURE Treatment System to get a better color-take and to preserve red hair color until the next salon visit.

So why are red shades hard to control? There are several variables when it comes to red hair color. We must consider the hairline, the mid-length, and the ends of the hair.

Here are a few common challenges with red hair color that can be avoided just by understanding a few basic rules.

Why does grey hair turn orange at the temples and hairline? This unwanted problem is due to a lack of pigment in grey hair. One solution is to create a separate formula for the regrowth area. Only a colorist that understands how to apply red hair color on grey hair will be your best bet to achieving the balance. We recommend visiting COLURE’s salon locator to find a colorist in your area.

Another common challenge is when the red color you desire is not vibrant enough. It seems like the intensity of the red tone does not radiate with vibrancy. Mainly when you use the brightest red hue, and it is not happening. Why does this occur? The porosity of the hair will determine how color will take, at the same time how long it will last. Again we recommend performing the COLURE Treatment before, during, and after any hair coloring service.
