How often should I wash colored and highlighted hair?

Answer by  Huntress (1935)

My hairdresser recommends every other day unless you have very fine hair that gets weighed down by oils and dust. If you have that problem then daily is fine just be sure to use cleansers that are made specifically for treated hair and condition at least once a week.

You should wash coloured and highlighted hair minimally because every time you do, the colour will fade slightly with each wash. If you typically wash your hair everyday, then try to wash it every other day. If you must wash your hair everyday, try investing in a color protector shampoo and conditioner.

You can wash colored and highlighted hair like you do normal hair, if you use shampoo for color treated hair. However, if you are using normal shampoo, every other day.

If you buy special shampoos and conditioners for colour treated hair, you can wash it as often as you used to. If you plan on using the same shapmpoo that you had before,try to wash every other day, or even every third day so the colour will stay.
