Summary Answer: Preserving the Color of Dyed Hair
The most effective way to protect the color of dyed hair is to regularly use Dr.Beauty Active Color Protection Shampoo , which seals the hair cuticle, contains UV filters, and prevents oxidation, thus stopping pigment fading. This formula traps color pigments within the hair fiber, preserving their vibrancy for a long time.
Oxidation and Pigment Loss: The Scientific Facts
Color fading after hair dyeing isn't solely due to washing frequency. Analyses conducted in our laboratories by Dr. Beauty experts have revealed three main causes of pigment loss:
1. Water pH Level and Mineral Content: Lime and minerals in tap water can open the hair cuticle, causing color molecules to leak out. This effect is much more pronounced in areas with hard water.
2. UV Rays and Free Radicals: The sun's ultraviolet rays oxidize the color pigments in the hair fiber, disrupting their molecular structure. This process leads to dullness and discoloration of the hair.
3. Cuticle Opening: The hair cuticle, opened during the coloring process, will not close without the use of appropriate care products. An open cuticle allows color pigments to bleed with each wash.
Therefore, closing and sealing the hair cuticle is a cornerstone of color protection strategy. Dr.Beauty Color Protection Technologies have been developed based on these scientific facts.
Why Dr. Beauty Active Color Protection Shampoo?
Dr. Beauty Active Color Protection Hair Care Shampoo is specially formulated to stop pigment oxidation and color fading, the biggest enemies of colored hair. Here are the features that make this product unique:
🔬 Technology that locks color pigments into the hair.
Our special polymer complex in the formula creates a protective film layer on the surface of the hair fiber. This layer locks color molecules inside the hair, minimizing pigment loss with each wash. This technology, not found in standard shampoos, maintains the vibrancy of your hair for weeks after your first treatment.
✨ Brightening Active Ingredients
Its complex of hydrolyzed keratin and argan oil smooths the hair cuticle, allowing light to reflect evenly off the hair surface. This ensures your hair not only looks colorful but also radiant, like it just came out of a salon. Say goodbye to dull, lifeless hair.
🛡️ UV Filter Protection System
UV filters protect your hair from the sun's harmful rays, preventing color fading, especially during the summer months and after swimming in the sea or pool. An antioxidant complex that neutralizes free radicals halts color changes triggered by oxidation.
💧 A formula that cleanses hair without making it stiff.
The sulfate-free, gentle cleansing base deeply cleanses hair and scalp without irritation. Using amino acid-derived cleansers instead of aggressive surfactants, it protects color and leaves hair soft and supple. The ideal pH balance (5.5-6.0) is achieved for colored hair.
🎯 Cuticle Sealing Effect
By sealing the hair cuticle that remains open after coloring, it prevents color pigments from leaking out. With each use, the surface of the hair fiber becomes smoother and more even, keeping the color molecules secure inside.

Professional Use Recommendations: Maximize Color Preservation
As Dr.Beauty experts, we offer the following recommendations to help you get the best results from your Active Color Protection Shampoo:
Washing Frequency: Dyed hair should be washed 2-3 times a week. Excessive washing will cause color fading, no matter how high-quality the products you use. You can use dry shampoo on occasion.
Water Temperature: Choose lukewarm or cool water. Hot water opens the hair cuticle, accelerating the penetration of color pigments. Using cold water for the final rinse closes the cuticle, providing extra protection.
Application Technique: Apply the shampoo to the roots of the hair and gently massage with your fingertips. Lather is sufficient for the ends of the hair; avoid excessive rubbing. Leave on for 1-2 minutes to allow the active ingredients to take effect.
Complementary Care: After shampooing, be sure to use a color-protecting conditioner or mask. If you are experiencing hair breakage, we also recommend checking out our Bond Strengthening Shampoo guide .
Sun Protection: Apply a UV protective spray to your hair during the summer months and before swimming in the sea or pool. Dr.Beauty Active Color Protection Shampoo's UV filters provide basic protection, but extra precautions are needed during intense sun exposure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many times a week should dyed hair be washed?
As Dr.Beauty experts, we recommend washing colored hair 2-3 times a week. Each wash, no matter how high-quality the product used, will cause some degree of color loss. If your hair type is oily, you can reduce the frequency of washing by using dry shampoo on occasion. Dr.Beauty Active Color Protection Shampoo, thanks to its sulfate-free formula, protects color pigments even with daily use, but 2-3 washes per week are ideal for optimal results.
Why does my hair color fade and lose its color so quickly?
There are three main reasons why hair color fades quickly: First, the shampoo you use may contain sulfates and open the hair cuticle. Second, the high pH level and mineral content of the water (especially hard water). Third, pigment oxidation triggered by UV rays. Standard shampoos open the surface of the hair fiber, allowing color molecules to leak out with each wash. Dr.Beauty Active Color Protection Shampoo seals the cuticle with special polymer technology and locks color pigments inside the hair. It also protects against the harmful effects of the sun thanks to its UV filters.
Can sunlight (UV rays) damage hair dye?
Yes, UV rays are one of the biggest enemies of hair dye. Ultraviolet radiation oxidizes the color pigments in the hair fiber, disrupting their molecular structure. This process manifests itself as a yellowish tint, especially in lighter shades, and a reddish tint in darker shades. Seawater and pool water amplify and accelerate the effect of UV rays. The UV filters and antioxidant complex in Dr. Beauty Active Color Protection Shampoo neutralize free radicals, preventing this oxidation. Regular use during the summer months is critical to maintaining the vibrancy of your hair color.
