7 Solutions to Bad Hair Days

Problem: Fade-outs
To prevent color from getting dull, first protect it from the sun: Stay in the shade or wear a hat when you're outside for more than 30 minutes (which is good for your skin, too, of course!).

Color-care shampoos and conditioners can help as well. They contain fewer sulfates and tend to have thicker, more hydrating conditioners, which prevent color from seeping away. We like: Dove Advanced Color Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner, $4 each.
