How to make hair dye last longer on gray hair?
Why does the dye fade?
Hair dyes penetrate the hair cuticle, and even if they are as good as those from Schwarzkopf, which have a technology to seal it and retain the color for longer, the truth is that external elements (water, sun, shampoo, etc.) make the hair porous, and thus the pigments gradually disappear .
Are there any hair dyes that last longer?
The better cared for and moisturized your hair is, the longer your hair dye will last because your hair will be less porous and, consequently, will lose less color. That said, the better the dye, the more it will care for your hair and the longer the color will last.
What types of dyes are there?
If we classify hair dyes according to their duration, we find permanent, semi-permanent, and temporary dyes . Years ago, permanent dyes often contained ammonia, while temporary dyes did not. Nowadays, there are products like Igora Zero Ammonia , which guarantee up to 100% ammonia-free coverage. If we categorize them by ingredient type, we find synthetic versus natural ingredients like henna, which can conceal gray hairs but not completely hide them.

What can I do to maintain the hair dye color?
1. Less is more. Space out the washes.
Washing your hair every day is like inviting the color to go on vacation… and it probably won't come back. It might be a little difficult at first, but your hair will get used to it, and after a few weeks you'll see that you don't need to wash it as often. Low buns are in style, and they hold up better with slightly dirty hair.
2. The right shampoo and conditioner.
Your favorite supermarket shampoo might smell amazing, but if it's full of sulfates and parabens, it won't do you much good. These two powerful detergents clean very well, yes, but too well, as they also strip your hair of its natural oils and, of course, fade hair color.

Many models already say their best beauty secret is applying sunscreen every day, so we should start doing the same for our hair. Bonacure Sun products are specially designed for that.

4. Avoid excessive heat.
Use special products before drying your hair and avoid using very high temperatures. If you must straighten it, do so at the lowest possible temperature and make sure you've used a good heat protectant and that your hair is completely dry. Straighteners and curling irons can be your best friends when you need a ready-to-go mane, but their relationship with your hair color is more toxic than a dramatic soap opera.
5. Use specific products

How to make hair dye last longer on gray hair?
In addition to all the tips described above (mainly: keeping your hair moisturized, washing it less often, using a special shampoo without sulfates or parabens, and protecting it from the sun and heat), there's little you can do to make the dye last longer on your gray hair. Make sure you use a good dye with a full coverage guarantee and try adding some highlights to disguise the new gray hairs.
