The end of summer can bring faded red hair from overexposure to sun and chlorine, but when fall (Redhead Season) rolls around you might want a little boost to your natural color. There’s no shame in using products to maintain your gorgeous color, so try a color gloss or a color depositing shampoo this autumn.
Unlike allover hair dye, these at-home treatments won’t damage your hair and they won’t leave you with an awkward grow-out. Most glosses and color depositing shampoos fade naturally and evenly over time and can be reapplied as often as needed.
They also work with the natural color of your hair to enhance it rather than covering it with a new color. Ready to amp up your red for redhead season? Check out these redhead-approved products:
1. Clairol Color Gloss Up in “Terra Copper”
