Why does my hair color keep fading so quickly?

I've been coloring my hair since I was 14 and I'm 21 now so for seven years...wow...anyway I've never had any trouble with it fading quickly. I havn't changed much about how I tend to my hair except in the last 2 yrs I've started to straighten it. Will this make my hair fade quicker is there a time period of which i need to wait after dying my hair before I can start straightening it again?

Is it red? Red is the fastest fading color. Try washing your hair with cold water, and a color safe shampoo and conditioner. If you hair is red, there is a great line of products from Matrix that can put pigment back into your hair, so basically every time you wash your hair you are kinda dyeing it. They make 6 different colors, cool brown, warm brown, cool red, warm red, cool blonde, and warm blonde. I absolutely loves these shampoos, especially the red ones.

Oh yeah, and are you using the crappy box dyes? Those fade after only a couple weeks. Go to Sally Beauty or any other reputable beauty supply store, don't go to a retail store to buy dye (ex: Target, Ulta, Walmart). So anyways, get a permanent color, obviously to last longer, then after you wash out the dye, towel dry, and apply a clear gloss, leave on for 15 min, and wash out. This will seal in the color for about 4-6 weeks, guaranteed.

Before you dyed your hair dark did you fill it? You are supposed to fill it with a protein filler that will go in and sort of pre-dye the hair so it will last way longer and also have even results. Next time, get a dark brown protein filler, apply on dry hair, leave in about 20 min, and wash out. Blow dry and follow with your dye, if you have remainder of the filler left, you should add it to the dye to make it more potent. Also, you don't have to wait any time after dyeing your hair to start straightening it again.

It fades so quickly because your using hot water to wash your hair. Try using cooler water.

EDIT : It doesnt matter how or where you get your hair colored, hot water takes the color out of your hair.
