Will my herbal hair color last?

Herbal hair color is loved for its natural look, luminous highlights, and exceptional softness. But how long does the color really last? The answer depends on several factors: your hair type, the plants used, and your maintenance routine.

1. A color that evolves naturally

Unlike chemical dyes, herbal hair color does not penetrate the hair fiber — it coats each strand with a thin layer of natural pigment. This protective film fades gradually, without a harsh root effect, allowing for a much softer regrowth.

On average, the color keeps its shine for about 4 to 6 weeks. Shades such as copper or golden blonde tend to lighten more quickly, while browns and dark chestnuts retain their depth for longer.

2. Factors that influence color longevity

• Hair porosity: the more porous the hair, the faster the color fades.
• Washing frequency: washing too often or using harsh shampoos shortens color duration.
• Water quality: hard water and limescale can dull shine and alter reflections.
• Hair treatments: certain masks or oils may speed up fading by making pigments “slip” from the fiber.

3. How to make your color last longer

To maintain your color and preserve its shine, follow these simple steps:

• Wash your hair with a gentle shampoo, free from sulfates and silicones.
• Use a nourishing treatment such as the SuperCare Herbal Mask regularly — it nourishes, repairs, and protects color without washing it out.
• Avoid excessive heat: heating tools can weaken the hair fiber and dull the shine.

Herbal hair color is a natural alternative that respects both hair and scalp. With a gentle and consistent routine, your color stays beautiful week after week.
