Shampoos for coloured hair to maintain & protect

Color-treated hair requires special attention to maintain its vibrancy and health. Whether you've recently dyed your hair or are a seasoned color enthusiast, understanding how to care for your locks is essential. To help you make the right choice, we list out our top recommendations ahead—along with some tips and tricks for colour longevity.

Why does coloured hair need extra TLC

Colour-treated hair is more prone to damage and dryness due to the chemical processes involved in dyeing. When the hair cuticle is opened to deposit color, it becomes more susceptible to moisture loss and breakage. Additionally, exposure to UV rays, heat styling, and harsh hair products can further compromise the integrity of color-treated strands.

Use a colour-safe shampoo:

Use a shampoo specifically formulated for coloured hair. Look for products that are sulfate-free and contain colour-protecting ingredients like UV filters or antioxidants.

Shampoo less frequently:

Avoid washing coloured hair daily to prevent colour fading. Shampooing every two to three days will help preserve the colour.

Use lukewarm water:

Wash your hair with lukewarm water instead of hot water. Hot water can strip the colour and natural oils from the strands, leading to colour fading and dryness.

Massage gently:

When shampooing, be gentle with your scalp and hair. Massage your scalp with light pressure using your fingertips, avoiding rough rubbing or scrubbing.

Rinse thoroughly:

Make sure to rinse the shampoo out of your hair completely. Residue from shampoo can dull the colour and weigh down your hair.

Apply conditioner wisely:

Use a colour-safe conditioner after shampooing to hydrate and protect the hair. Focus on the ends and avoid applying conditioner directly to the roots to prevent greasiness.

Protect from sun exposure:

Use hair products that offer UV protection, when spending time in the sun to shield your coloured hair from damage.

Don't use clarifying shampoos often:

Clarifying shampoos are excellent for removing product buildup, but they can also strip away colour. Reserve their use for occasional deep cleansing.

Avoid rough towel drying: Gently blot your hair with a soft towel after washing. Avoid rough towel drying, as it can cause breakage and frizziness in coloured hair.
