Maintaining your hair color can be a pain -- and expensive. See our quick tips to fix your hair color disasters at home
Problem: Dull color from product buildup Fast Fix: Apple cider vinegar
Overusing the same products can cause buildup that coats your hair, giving it a dull appearance. To help your color shine through, de-gunk your hair with a clarifying shampoo like Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo, $5.99. Or if you want to save the cash, Robinson recommends using "a natural hair rinse once in a while -- such as apple cider vinegar -- which can remove buildup."
Try this homemade hair-clarifying recipe:
Mix one part apple cider vinegar and five parts water in a spray bottle and apply it to your scalp. Rub it in until it gets fizzy, then rinse with cool water. Follow with a light conditioner and you'll be left with shiny, soft, build-up free hair.
