You can try using those shampoos and conditioner that are geared towards keeping your color fresh. Like the Pantene line w/blond, Brunette or red. Maybe you shoukd try changing the type of color(dye) that you are using on your head.

If you are using permanent color on your hair then it can and will definitely damage your hair. Semipermanent is healthier but it just coats color onto your hair instead of lifting your natural color and redepositing the dye on your hair. Depending on how much lift a color has will determine how bright and/or vibrant your color will be.

I have dreads...and I've been coloring my hair since I've had them...and I've never had a problem (I've had my dreads for 5 yrs)...I usually leave mine on for longer than 20 mins...maybe 30...sometimes 40 mins...

What brand do you use to color your hair? I swear by Clairol Textures and Tones...it's fabulous!

Dark & Lovely sucks for natural hair! When I wash out my hair...I see the color instantly...I usually mix two colors together...
