In brief

Why dandruff shampoo works on fresh color
Dandruff shampoo cleanses more aggressively than gentle color-protecting formulas.
Timing matters for fading
Start fading as soon as you notice the color is too dark, before it fully settles.
Don't skip a deep conditioner
Follow each wash with a moisturizing conditioner to prevent dryness from repeated shampooing.
Budget-friendly fix
Dandruff shampoo is already in most bathrooms, so you can start fading the same day.
What happens next
If dandruff shampoo brings shade down to something you can live with, you've saved time and money.
What it means
