You might be a natural redhead who went gray/white and frequently dye it, you may be a natural redhead and your hair is “browning out”/fading, or you may be a redhead ‘by choice’.
All of these types of redheads need to upkeep their red and these are the 5 tips for keeping your red hair vibrant at home:
1. Apply a root cover-up product
You can head directly to this article to read the many root cover-up products we suggest. It’s a great option if you’re between colorings and want a little boost, or have gray/white roots to cover up. Root cover-ups deliver quick and easy coverage for every shade of red hair. It is a quick, affordable option that delivers amazing results.
2. Experiencing fading red hair? Try a color-depositing shampoo or hair gloss
This is, by far, the #1 most-asked question amongst H2BAR followers. Thankfully, there are so many options and this is also why we frequently include a color-depositing shampoo in Deluxe H2BAR Boxes.

3. Don’t wash your red hair every day to extend color treatments
When you wash your hair, you’re washing out the color-depositing product, dye, root cover-up, etc. You want to wash your hair at a maximum of 2-3 days per week. If your hair is naturally oily, you can opt for a dry shampoo to keep you from washing your hair too much.

4. Try a customized dye or gloss delivered right to your doorstep
