This can be done through at-home maintenance. Always use shampoo specially formulated for color treated hair. Using a blue shampoo can help prevent strands from turning “yellowish” down the road.
Furthermore, if possible try to stretch your time between washes. Remember this particular hair color fades WAY quicker than most. So the less often you cleanse the longer the color will last.

Tip #1 The best hair color is one that is flattering to your skin tone and eyes. Most likely you already know your natural eye color well.

Black Men Blue Hair Trend
We tried hard not to like this look, but can no longer stand it… it is fire! From Tumblr to Instagram we have noticed more and more photos of black guys indulging in the blue hair trend. We are loving all of the different variations including high top cuts and partial color just on the sides.
Blue hair even on women is a VERY bold hair look. Nevertheless, when done right it is one of the most chic wild child hairstyles that anyone could wear. In a world saturated with ombre, blonde and pastels it is quite refreshing to see a solid color getting mad love.
Besides, just blue hair we have even seen some guys completely go all in and try a multi-tinted style. We figured the mermaid hair color trend would only be a girl thing but seeing it on men proves that anyone with the guts can claim the glory. If a man possesses the innate style and personality then the his dyed hair will blend in with his fashions naturally.
Mermaid Hair Color
If your man or best friend is interested in going blue here are a few hair dye tips that you can share with him:
- Beat the Heat: Dyed hair and heat styling are not best friends, so such styling should be avoided. Unlike us girls many men will let their blow dryer collect dust and air dry their hair. That would actually be a better option because heat seriously strips hair color.
- Prevent the Rinse: After bleaching tell that dude to avoid getting his hair wet like its the plague. Excessive hair washing and water will cause fading to happen even faster. Guys can try using a dry shampoo in-between hair washes to help keep dyes vibrant longer.
- Cold Water Rinse: Since we are on the topic of cleansing, whenever blue hair dude does his final rinse it should be with cold water. He doesn’t need to freeze like an Eskimo, but as cold as he can stand. Unlike hot water that will strip color, cool water will close the cuticle, make hair shiny and lock in the color.

Spring 2015 Hair Color Trend: Ombre Gray
While some of us are making sacrifices at the hair color bar altar praying gray strands stay faraway from our heads. There are other women who are willingly going gray via dyed hair jobs. You may recall celebrities such as Rihanna getting in on the gray hair revolution. Nevertheless, now things are being stepped up a bit by adding in an ombre effect.
Ombre hair color is where the hair color starts off dark and gradually gets lighter as you move towards the tips or ends of strands. Besides RiRi, actress Dascha Polanco who plays on the hit show Orange is The New Black went gray ombre with purple tips. This hair tint can be extremely rough or harsh on your hair. Therefore, what can you do to protect your hair if you are thinking of going gray?
Going to such extreme colors means that you should take extreme measures to protect your hair. It is recommended that you pre-treat or prep your hair with oils and deep conditioners for about a week before the process. Dying your hair can be quite drying which is why some women end up with a “fried” hair look. Moreover, deep conditioning your locks will be be necessary since your tresses will need to be lifted to a platinum blonde shade in order for the true color to show up.
What if your natural hair color is very dark? For women with natural darker shade of hair keep in mind that going so light will not be a simple walk-in and walk out process. It should be noted that in order to safely dye your hair gray it usually takes two processes.
