However, every hair is different, and hair colors may react differently to the shampoo. To ensure that your hair color stays longer:
- Use lukewarm water when shampooing. Lukewarm water helps to retain the color molecules in the hair.
- Allow at least 72 hours before shampooing after the freshly done color. This is to allow the hair to process fully and close the cuticles.
- Shampoo your hair less often for color-treated hair.
