In this guide you'll discover the best ways to maintain, protect and touch up your Crazy Color hair dye. Short, practical and community-approved.
Why Crazy Color needs special care
Crazy Color is a semi-permanent dye. That means:
-
it does not open the hair with harsh chemicals
-
it deposits pigment on the hair fibre
-
it can fade faster if you do not maintain it properly
That is why it is all about gentle cleansing, maximum moisture and colour retention. With the right routine, your colour will stay beautiful for six weeks instead of two.
1. Wash your hair gently (and not too often)
The biggest enemy of semi-permanent colour is… water.
The more often you wash, the faster the pigments disappear.
Use colour-safe products, such as:
⭐ Crazy Color Ultra Violet Anti Yellow Shampoo
(yes, also for non-purple hair; the formula is gentle and colour-friendly)
Why this shampoo works so well:
-
cleanses without sulphates
-
helps prevent colour fading
-
ideal for cool tones, blonde and mauve
-
adds shine without stripping away pigment
Advice:
➡️ Washing 2–3 times a week is enough.
2. Rinse with cool water
Warm water opens the hair cuticles → pigments rinse away faster.
Cool or lukewarm water closes the hair cuticles → pigments stay locked in.
Cold rinse = more shine + longer-lasting colour.
3. Limit heat as much as possible
Heat fades colour faster, especially with bright shades like pink, blue and purple.
Tips:
-
Let your hair air dry as much as possible
-
Always use a heat protector
-
Avoid high temperatures with styling irons and hair dryers
💡 For pastel colours like Crazy Color Ice Mauve, limiting heat is extra important.
4. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
Semi-permanent colours can make the hair slightly drier.
Dry hair = faster colour loss.
That is why you should use:
-
nourishing masks (1× per week)
-
leave-in conditioners
-
light oil to retain moisture
Pro tip: Avoid heavy silicones — they can hold colour but also build up.
5. Refresh your colour without re-dyeing
This is where Crazy Color really shines.
Between two full dye jobs, you can perfectly refresh your colour yourself.
Here is how you do it:
-
Take your favourite conditioner or mask
-
Add a small amount of Crazy Color
-
Mix into a colour-refreshing cream
-
Leave on for 5–10 min
-
Rinse with cold water
Result: a soft, fresh shade as if you had just re-dyed it.
⚡ Perfect for pastel colours, because they fade faster.
6. Keep your skin and surroundings stain-free
Anyone who has ever used Crazy Color knows:
The colour can sometimes be too enthusiastic during application.
That is why there are:
Crazy Color Colour Remover Wipes
Ideal for:
-
dye on ears, neck, and temples
-
small spills
-
quick corrections during application
They are gentle on the skin and effective even for dark colours.
7. Sun, chlorine and outdoor air: be careful
UV radiation, chlorine and salt water are real colour killers.
Protect your colour like this:
-
wear a hat or scarf in the sun
-
use leave-ins with UV filters
-
rinse your hair with fresh water before swimming
-
wash after swimming with Ultra Violet to maintain shine & cool tones
8. Daily habits that reduce colour fading
These small things make a big difference:
-
Do not wash every day
-
Use satin or silk pillowcases
-
Comb gently, preferably with a wide-tooth comb
-
Do not use heavy detox or clarifying shampoos
-
Finish your routine with cold water
9. Complete Crazy Color maintenance routine
1. Washing: Gentle, colour-friendly — e.g. Crazy Color Ultra Violet Shampoo
2. Conditioner: Moisturising mask or cream
3. Refreshing: Mix Crazy Color into your conditioner occasionally
4. Drying: Air dry + avoid heat
5. Cleansing: Use the colour remover wipes during colouring
6. Protecting: UV protection & cool rinses
Follow this and your colour will stay vibrant, shiny and fresh — much longer than average.
