This will prevent any frizzing and enhance the shine that we’re all after. If you’re a fan of red hair dye like our Wild Fire Renew Perfect Colour, rinsing your hair with carbonated water (soda water) will also help.

By using a conditioner when you shampoo, you can help add extra nourishment that your tresses really need. Using one with added protein will also benefit in the strength and shine department. Every pack of Renew hair dye come with Aloe and Milk Protein Conditioner to help you lock in added nourishment and your...
