Beauty Tips| Make the Hair Color Last

          




The Problem:
 Chlorinated water, iron, and minerals from inside your water pipes can tint blonde hair to green.

          What to use:
Use a showerhead attachment like Resc-Hue Water Purification System ($120 at sephora.com) to filter unwanted chemicals in the water, and deep treat once a week to keep blonde locks hydrated. TRY Marc Anthony Advanced Color Protect Anti-Aging Night Repair ($10 at Ulta)

                                



                                                    


                                                




                                                   
                                                     
The Problem:
    Over time, brown hair dye oxidizes on your strands, resulting in an orangey, rust-colored tone.

  What to use:
Wash hair with tepid water hot opens the cuticle and lets color seep out. Apply a nonpermanent dye in a cool tone on top of the color you have permanent color once a month to neutralize brassiness. Try GarnierbaShine Color Crème Medium Ash Brown ($8, at drugstore)








                                                   









The Problem:
    Red dye fades faster than other hue; the color    particles are the largest and escape the hair shaft more easily.

                                                 What to use:
Try to keep shampooing to a minimum to hold on to precious pigment. Once a week, twice if you shampoo every day, lather up with a color depositing shampoo. TRY Bumble and Bumble Color Support True Red Shampoo ($23, Bumbleandbumble.com)
