Ouch! I would recommend never washing out dye with shampoo. You're washing color down the drain. That's one of the biggest reasons Wen was created! To preserve color. Chaz always talks about how his clients would get their hair done and it was great but two weeks later their color is fading badly and he went to work figuring on how to preserve the color and he discovered that anything that lathers will strip. That means natural moisture and color. Always use Wen while coloring. It will preserve the color better. I don't color anymore and my natural color is so much more enhanced because of Wen. It's a matter of preference, I know.

kate2357, I love your idea. I recently used shampoo as a first cleanse. I was attempting to gradually fade my color; I was very successful. I could only stand the shampoo for a week, but it took my hair from darkest brown to an almost light brown shade. I'm going to use your tip for my next touch up. Thanks.

I always wash with Wen after coloring and just toss the conditioner that comes with the color. The Wen gets the strong odor from the color out of my hair. I usually follow with an overnight Remoist treatment.

Just wanted to add that before I color, I do a Remoist treatment the day before, then put oil on my scalp at least a couple of hours before I do the color to allow the oil to soak in. That protects my scalp. They add a couple of drops of WEN oil to your color, wash out with WEN, I use fig, follow with a Remoist treatment.

Hopefully one of our fellow posters who has been to Chaz's salon will reply.

I don't know how to answer you, which is one reason I don't bring Wen to my salon. I just "cringe and bear it" as they lather me. (They formerly used lather-free Deva Curl but no longer carry that brand.)

Thank you. I have to recolor this month, so I'll make sure to do that. My hair always gets a little dry after coloring. I use the no ammonia kind, but the peroxide dries out my hair. I don't know which is worse.

Funny you should ask this... I rinse the color out then condition with SHP CC. Last week I dyed and my hair turned bright orange. After the initial panic wore off I re-dyed with a darker color. I'm rather certain that if not for Wen my hair would have been fried from the double processing. But miraculously my hair shows no signs of breakage or damage.

At the salon, after letting color develop at room temp, they rinse really well then do a double cleanse with wen....then they apply remoist mask, secure a plastic cap and sit under dryer for 30 minutes or so....then a final rinse.
