Permed Hair Color Solutions

"I have a perm. Will my hair still hold color?"

Yes, healthy permed hair will definitely hold color. And healthy colored hair will definitely hold a perm. What I suggest you do is wait a couple of weeks between perming and coloring so that the cuticles of your hair have a chance to fully close. Of course, make sure the hair color products you're using are safe for permed hair. This information can always be found on the side of the box.

Preventing Color From Fading

"What can I do to prevent my new color from fading?"

Good shampoos and conditioners for color-treated hair contain UV filters (sunlight fades hair color just as it does clothes left out to dry on a sunny summer day) and other distinctive ingredients (like more gentle cleansers) that help protect and maintain color. But there are also shampoos and conditioners that are "safe for color-treated hair," which usually means they're very gentle.
