What causes hair color (dye) to fade? If you listen to salon owners, they try to sell you expensive shampoo and conditioner. Are there any ingredients that should be avoided if you color your hair? All shampoos tend to contain about the same ingredients although perhaps in different combinations - some with a little more dimethicone and some contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate, and others contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or a combination of both. Is there any reason to choose a shampoo that says it's designed for color treated hair? I can't see that these have different ingredients from any of the others. So, I'm assuming all this is just marketing which brings me back to my first question about what causes of hair dye to fade. Is it generally the sun? So I'm thinking for every day, the best way to protect your hair color is to use any shampoo from the drugstore (Suave, say) and wear a hat when you're in the sun. Am I right on that?
What about swimming in the ocean (something I do about a week a year)? I would assume saltwater isn't the best for hair generally, so other than wearing a cap, I guess you just wash and condition it really well?
