How long until my hair fades?

I just dyed my hair red on Sunday and I want to know how long until my hair will fade? It's like fire red and I like it, and I don't want it to fade so what can I do to make it last longer? And how can I make the color come out more?

    There's not much you can do unless you never want to shower, but try a shampoo/conditioner system that's color-sensitive and wont fade your hair.

    Herbal Essences has a few for colored hair, so does Pantene and Dove. Go to Target or Wal-Mart and look around.

    Some tips:

    Try not to scrub your hair too much in the shower. Though the shampoo may be color sensitive, you can still get your hair clean without ruining the color.

    When your hair eventually fades, just dye it again.

    Hope I helped!

    Red hair needs a lot of maintenance and it fades in about three weeks depending on how healthy it is. Buy some hair products made specifically for red hair, like Radiant Red by John Frieda. It works wonders on helping the color stay longer, and it has little deposits of color that help make it bolder and brighter.

    I have red hair.

    And what I do is I wash my hair with cold water, and I use a shampoo that has a bit of red dye in it. Also, try to wash your hair every 3 days instead of 2 or 1.

    It works for me and it lasts about a month and a half :)

    Hope this helped!

    it will fade in around 1-2 months. but to keep the color longer you should get shampoo and conditioner that is for red heads. and continue to redye it about every 4 weeks

    Find shampoo that will save the color, this really helps, and depends.. if you got it done in a salon ATLEAST 3 1/2 months. If you used something else, it depends, but im guessing 2 months unless you use the shampoo and the sun doesnt lighten it. Good luck, Best wishes.

    Red is the fastest color to come out,

    also it depends what kind of hair dye you bought,

    Some is semi permanent and some is just permanent.

    they say to use special things to wash with but it does not help. it is only going to stay maybe one week at the most and then you will have to redye it. its sad but true. i have tried everything under the sun and it fades. but when you arein the 30's it goes and your hair turns to grey or white.

    well eachtime you wash it, it'll fade a little.

    buy shampoos, that are meant for color to not fade.

    i saw a commercial for it the just other day.
