Please tell me. What you use instead of Wen that doesn't strip hairccolor?

I am an avid Wen user, but it's getting steep for my budget. Can you tell me what some of you have used that doesn't strip your hair colorado? My hairdresser is always astonished that the color she puts into my hair doesn't fade a lot.

I never found any shampoo that didn't end up fading your hair color.

Herbal Essences has a cleansing conditioner that's supposed to protect your hair color from fading. Maybe try that one?

Nick Chavez and Redken keep my blonde highlights looking good. The Aveda shampoos always made my lowlights go brassy/red.

I used to use Nick all the time. Your hair doesn't lose its color with sulfates? Tx!

Purerology is great. It's pricy, but it's extremely concented and for my long hair I only used about a quarter size of shampoo and conditioner.

Same here. I think it's inevitable no what you do. You can mix color glazes or even hair dye without the developer as part of a weekly treatment (say with Remoist or whatever you choose to use). Otherwise, fading is just the nature of coloring one's hair - unfortunately.

Read an article about a month ago in a magazine (I think it was More magazine) that said it doesn't matter what shampoo or cleansing conditioner you use, the thing that fades hair color is water.

Wow! Interesting. I do know that I have used Redken and my hair faded, so I went back to Wen the next time I had my hair colored and the color looked better and seemed to last longer.

Before using Wen, I used Biolage and L'anza products.

I don't know why but my haircolor never fades even before starting Wen.

I will ask my friend at the beauty shop where I get my hair done why some fade.

I only wash my hair every 2 to 3 days unless I have worked outside.

I don't know if a clear glaze would help but I will ask.

I've just ordered and fallen in love with Nick Chavez' Mesquite Shampoo and Conditioner! Today is my fourth day of using it and I'm stunned at how manageable and back to normal my hair is... it's also supposed to not strip hair color. My hair did not do well with WEN and after six months of really, really trying, I quit. It's now been about six or seven months without WEN (I used Suave again until I decided to try NC).

I am VERY happy with Nick's Mesquite products....

OH... one more thing. It has little to no scent! So light that I thought there wasn't a scent, but there's a very faint fresh smell. FINALLY.... I'm really tired of the headache-inducing very strong scents everyone seems to be putting in shampoos of late...
