Revive dull color with dye-depositing drops
Sunshine bounces light onto hair so it shimmers, but it’s no match for the color-sapping heat that opens hair’s cuticle, allowing dye molecules to escape and fade color fast, says celebrity colorist Mike Petrizzi. Instead of having to re-dye hair sooner, opt for semi-permanent dye drops like Schwarzkopf Color Boost Color Vibrancy Booster (Target.com). When mixed in with your regular conditioner, the drops deposit subtle pigments onto strands that enhance and enliven hair’s hue— plus, the new, refreshed color lasts for 20 washes.
To do: While wearing disposable gloves (the color can stain hands), combine 3 drops of the “dye” with a palmful of your go-to hair conditioner. Apply the mix evenly all over damp, not soaking wet, hair. Let sit for 5 minutes; rinse.
