　　How to keep copper hair dye from fading? Red hair shades are some of the quickest fading in the hair dye world. But dont fear. There are ways around it, and it doesnt have to cost loads either.

　　Switch the shampoo: Try and use products without drying chemicals like sulphates, parabens, silicones and alcohols. Not only are they bad for your hair in general, but any shampoos with harsh chemicals will also strip the colour from your hair. Using shampoo for red hair will help to maintain your colour.

　　Ditch the heat: Whether its hot water in the shower or using curlers, hairdryers and straighteners - try to cut back on the heat. The use of heat not only damages your hair, but this head damage will also contribute to fading hair colour. Always use heat protectant spray!

　　Stay in the shade: In the same sense that artificial heat is bad for your hair, the sun can also fade your colour faster. Try and stick to the shade or wear hats when youre out in the sun. The rays will lighten your hair and can remove pigment and vibrancy.

　　How to remove copper hair dye? Alternatively, you might have made the mistake of colouring your hair red, and you want to remove it. Sounds a bit like Holly Willoughbys biggest beauty mistake to us! If youre not wanting to go to the salon, in case you might be told off by your hairdresser, here are some tips for how to remove dye.

　　The biggest thing you can do when youre wanting to remove colour is wash your hair - and often. Using hair colour removers or shampoo for stripping hair colour will help remove any unwanted pigments on your hair. Other things, like washing your hair with baking soda, vinegar and vitamin C, are said to help with this too.
