Beauty Tip: Faded dye hair

The fix: Intensify vibrancy

Add a jolt of red with a cranberry juice rinse (cherry flavored Kool-Aid works, too). Tilt your head back over the sink and carefully pour the juice over clean, detangled hair.

Once every section is soaked, dry your hair section by section on low heat to lock color in place. Rinse and condition after.

To warm up ashy blonde hair, substitute the cranberry juice rinse for chamomile tea. Or bring out golden tones with some champagne (flat or bubbly both do the trick). Pour a glass over damp hair and comb it through, from roots to ends. Let sit for a couple of minutes and rinse with water.

Got some brassiness in your blonde locks? Do a rinse with grape-flavored Kool-Aid to counter any signs of orange. “But remember to do a rinse only when necessary, otherwise it could lead to buildup.

You can also revive hair color with color depositing shampoo. Try Tressa Watercolors Color Maintenance Black Coffee Shampoo 8.5 oz [ $15 at Amazon ]
