What is one effective way for a client to prevent hair color from fading quickly at home?

Limiting heat styling is an effective way for a client to prevent hair color from fading quickly at home because excessive heat can damage the hair cuticle, leading to color molecules escaping more easily. When heat is applied during styling, it can compromise the integrity of the hair and cause the color to wash out faster, especially in processed or colored hair.

In contrast, practices such as using regular shampoo or washing hair frequently can contribute to more rapid fading, particularly if those products are not specifically designed for color-treated hair. Additionally, using products with sulfates can strip away natural oils and color, further contributing to the fading process. By minimizing the use of heat styling tools, clients can help maintain the vibrancy and longevity of their hair color.
