I dyed my hair black last week, n the color's already fading!?

hey, 19 y/o male with thick naturally medium/light brown hair. i dyed it black to bring out my melanin in my skin. im mixed with east Indian, Italian, n white. i had my hair black from this loreal dye i got at cvs last week, and the dye was labeled as permanent dye. i carefully read the directions, n let the dye soak up in my roots for the amount of time required, 25mins. i followed the directions, n rinsed out the dye with cold water, like it said. i also applied the color lasting conditioner right after dying my hair, n followed the directions about applying the conditioner once a week. i used it maybe 3 times since i dyed it, and its been like 9 days since i dyed it...maybe 2x, not sure. i also been usin color treated shampoo wheneva i wash my hair. i askd my mom about it and she said the color always fades a lil afta dyin hair, but i can already see my natural roots startin to come in! i use a lil hair gel daily, is that possibly the cause? how do i keep da color intact?

The color always almost fades a little when you color it.

The best you can do is use a shampoo %26amp; conditioner for colored hair.

Also, your roots are coming in cause your hair is growing. You just need to redye the roots black. :)

Hair grows! As it grows out it looks like your color is leaving. Also you should go to a professional colorist at a salon. The dyes they use are much better and don't fade as fast!

Black and red do fade the quickest!

hun black comes out so fast its not funny. whenever i go get my roots done,(my hair is blonde, black underneath and pink bangs)they always have to redo the black. i go everymonth!! but youll prolly just have to re-dye it frequently.

Hair color fades. Every time water hits your hair, yuor cuticle opens and lets anything in it escape regardless of the color. It sounds like your doing everything i do when i color and recomend to my clients, but if you are TRULY seeling roots, like u can see a little bit of your natural color peeking through at your roots, your hair just may grow fast babe and your actually seeing your roots.

It is natural process. More during summer months. Dye fade away faster.

Maybe it was just a cheap dye! Hair gel also does help it fade, it use to happen to me so I stopped using it. I dye my hair all the time- because I have hot pink and purple so it fades quite fast too. I avoid using hot water and too much shampoo. Use alot of conditioner to keep your hair healthy. Leave the dye in longer than 25 minutes to make sure your hair absorbs the dye, at most 1 hour. Use heat from blow dryer to intensify the color.Try Manic panic, special effects, or punky colour dyes. You can find them at Sally's beauty supply stores or online. Look on ebay. Well, they all last a pretty long time! Wear gloves it gets messy and very hard to get off of surfaces O.o You'll learn your own tricks over time as you continue dying your hair- goodluck!

well i dye my hair black and im a natural blonde and it takes awhile for my roots to show and everytime i dye it i use Loreal blue black hair dye. i dont know why yours came out so quickly tho. did you wait two days to wash your hair? bc ur not supposed to wash it for two days. Hmm.maybe you should get another box and dye your hair the same way you did and wash it after dyeing it then DONT wash it for 48 hrs. the only time my hair ever did that was when i used garnier blue black and since then i used loreal try blue black it looks reallly cute, and no its not blue just a dark dark black =)

mens hair usually have more natural oils than women which repel colour also on your natural colour you need a black that compliments you natural colour e.g. a red black for med brown/rust coloured hair or a blue black for blond hair, these will keep in your hair longer I am not a fan of loreal because they tend to fade quickly and are dull colours try clairol nice and easy if you want it to be permanent, they have a jet black.
