Color Care Shampoo...

Sunshine Kate — Tue, 30 Dec 2014 16:45:12 GMT

I'm using L'Oreal SLS free shampoo for highlighted hair and it makes my hair feel like straw -- quickly. Wen does the same.

Is there a color care shampoo that doesn't do this?

What's your fav?

My favorite is the Pureology brand. I wish it wasn't so expensive though.

I agree -- Pureology products are fabulous, but extremely expensive. The have a variety of anti-color fade products that work very well. My hair salon sells them.

Redken Color Extend Magnetics -- the only sulfate-free shampoo that doesn't turn my hair to straw and the only one that lathers like a sulfate shampoo. I use it daily and my hair loves it.

Hello, Sunshine Kate.

I haven't used these, but Nick Chavez sells Color-Saver Sulfate Free shampoo and Color-Saver Paraben Free conditioner.

I use WEN or Devacare/Devacurl. It's really true that shampoos are bad for hair. Read ""Curly Girl"" even if you don't have curls. It explains why. Will never go back to regular shampoo. Color lasts so much longer.

You may like the shampoo Nick was showing early this morning. It's called Thirst Quencher. He claims it's great on any hair which has been given chemical treatment. My hair is not chemically treated, but I'm ordering because his hydration claim won me over. I've had good luck with Nick's products in the past, so I trust him.

The Thirst Quencher is a duo set of shampoo and conditioner (32 oz each) for $60. He claims it only takes one pump of each to clean all but very long hair, a half pump for short hair, and that the bottles should last most people almost a year.

ITA. I recently discovered his shampoo. I color treat my hair and it's naturally curly. This is the best shampoo I have ever tried.

I picked up paul mitchel color care and made my hair super shiney, volume and was low lather and best of all no lingering scent. There is a small hint of citrius in the shampoo but its barely noticible and the conditioner seems to be scent free so if you are scent sensitive it is really good.

I have the same problem...some of highest priced products make my hair like straw, and feels stiff. to name a few I didn't like..Ion deep conditioning packet, Pureology for color treated hair (yes expensive), Ojon (now Tweaked) just awful for my fine hair. There seems to be an ingredient that causes the straw like hair, so it's hit and miss. I have very light platinum/beige , fine hair, that I'm having a problem keeping YELLOW out. So I look for color preserving products that do a good job conditioning. Ion makes a color shampoo/cond for blondes...I don't what your color is? But I like their shampoos/cond...just not the intensive cond. packettes. Can't figure. I also like Shimmer lights. Alot of people love Redkin...but I had the straw problem with the entire line. I used to like Matrix, but I'm not sure if they have a color line. Hope you find what works for you...let me know!

Nicks products are AMAZING!!! People in the Beauty Forum several months ago helped me with picking out one. I went with the Advanced Volume Shampoo and Conditioner. It is such a nice product. It delivers exactly what Nick states in his presentations. I also love his hairsprays.

Ojon is not Tweak-d. Ojon is totally seperate thing.

I use a brand called water colors that I get from my stylist. it comes in different shades according to your hair color. I'm a brunette and use the darkest one. I shampoo and leave it one while I wash in the shower before rinsing. I use no conditioner. it contains no parabens, sulfates or salts. it's $17 a bottle but lasts a long time and I think it's totally worth it. my hair is in great condition.

Hello, Dazlin.

Nick Chavez makes some products called Brass-Out Violet Shampoo and Brass-Out Leave-In Conditioner. It's sold at QVC as a set and separately at Nick's site, if that helps. He says it helps to keep silver hair from getting those yellow tones.

I use Theorie shampoos. Was using Wen, but it started causing buildup. Theorie as no sulfates, parabens or sodium. Smells amazing and actually lathers.

My favorites are from Matrix and Joico. I have colored treated hair and my color (dark brown) never fades. The best thing I ever did was stop (years ago) from getting highlights. My hair used to be dry and damaged from them but now my hair always looks healthy and shiny.

A full-size bottle of "Tressa Watercolors Shampoo" starts at $11.50 on Ebay, often with free shipping.
