What are the unique color needs of redheads?
When you are dealing with a client who has red hair, or reddish tones (auburns, coppers), those dyes are very sensitive. Typically they want to leave quickly, so a color shampoo, a color conditioner can help support that in order to make sure that it stays and it's durable over the length of time. One of the real keys is not shampooing your hair that much. So, the less you shampoo, the less chance you're using an agent that's in the detergent type of family to pull out the color. So rinse your hair, use a little bit of conditioner on the ends and style. Redheads also need to be more consistent with their color. If they're consistent with coloring every four weeks, five weeks, six weeks, they're going to have a color that has more longevity. Redheads, they wait two months, three months, the color really dramatically changes from the day of the color service to the day that they walk back into the salon. My recommendation is always for redheads, at least every four to five weeks.
