How can I protect my colored hair from fading?

Maintaining your hair color requires a bit of dedication, but the results are so worth it. One trick I’ve always used is rinsing my hair with cooler water; it helps lock in color and adds shine. I never skip a UV protectant spray, particularly when I’m out under the sun, as the rays can fade that vibrant hue quite fast. Also, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners; I remember once switching to a generic brand to save a few bucks, only to see my rich auburn turn brassy quicker than it should have! Paying that extra attention really keeps the fade at bay. For further information, you might find this a nice read. Just to add, another lifesaver is a weekly moisturizing mask or treatment—colored hair tends to crave moisture, and keeping it hydrated helps maintain that newly colored look.
