Some say that blonds have more fun, but I beg to differ. In a world where blond is the norm, vibrant red heads stand out in the crowd. And while I am no carrot top, I do know the secrets to holding that beautiful red color all year long. Because, well, let’s face it: most women are prone to dying their gorgeous locks at some point in their lives. While mixing and brewing colors could be your God given talent, it’s always a fuss to keep that luscious red color vibrant and long lasting. Lucky for you, some of the best products to use in order to keep your color through rain or shine are available at relatively low costs and at a store near you. I have rated and chosen a few products exclusively for fake and bake red heads. These shampoos, creams and serums will keep your color at it’s best.
Since red hair dye fades the fastest over time when compared to other color dyes, using shampoos and conditioners specifically for red heads is a must right from the start. Take note: the moment you color your hair, be sure to begin using the color formulated products to reduce the effect of the sun, which will quickly fade that beautiful red hair into oblivion. ClayPac shampoos and conditioners are among the elite and do not use harsh chemicals and dyes found in other color targeted shampoos. These products are equipped with natural color enhancers to reduce fading. Claypac also carries an exclusive line catering to dyed red heads. One 8oz bottle will set you back $12.99, but the outcome is well worth it. If you opt for a less costly shampoo that gives red hair a color boost, Radiant Red by John Frieda will do the trick. Radiant Red shampoos and conditioners contain light enhancers that give that radiant red hair a shine boost along with a protective barrier to keep your colored hair rich and vibrant.
