The Best Shampoos For Coloured Hair That Won’t Let Your Hair *Dye* Of Dryness

 

Getting your hair dyed is the most glamorous way you can change your appearance completely. One minute you’re sporting your luscious black locks and the next moment your hairstylist waves his magic on your hair and woof, you’re now a completely different person!

Most of us have gotten our hair dyed (or tried it ourselves) at least once in our lives. It can be global hair dye, highlights, permanent dye or even a fancy colour that fades away with every wash. No matter what you’ve tried, you have to admit that changing your hair colour feels so good. But the damage it causes to your hair? Well, that’s not too good.

Getting your hair coloured is one thing and taking care of it is a whole another story nobody ever tells you about! The fact that it requires some serious aftercare is something not a lot of people are aware of and using a shampoo that’s only for coloured hair is the first step! So, if you want your hair colour to last longer and your tresses to stay healthy, then you need to try these shampoos for coloured hair. 

Shampoos For Coloured Hair

Using a shampoo that’s meant for coloured hair is the first step to ensuring that your hair colour stays on longer. 

Let me share a quick tip that I swear by! Wait for 24-48 hours after your hair appointment and wash your mane with ice-cold water. The cold water makes your hair colour look even more vibrant! And when you do wash your hair with a shampoo, choose one of these:

Colour Me Brilliant Colour Lock + UV Protect Shampoo

 

Your hair colour will fade with every wash, there’s no doubt about that. But using a coloured hair shampoo will not only slow down that process but will also keep the colour looking good.

It is one of the best shampoos for coloured hair and if you’ve recently dyed your mane, you should get your hands on this one asap.

FAQs

 

We bet you still have a lot of questions regarding shampoos for coloured hair and we’re answering them one by one!

Can I use my normal shampoo on coloured hair?

 

Yes and no. If you have gotten your mane coloured in temporary or funky colours such as pink or blue, using a shampoo that’s specially formulated for coloured hair is a must. It’ll not only improve its longevity but also keep the colour looking vibrant.

But if you have dyed your hair in permanent colour such as copper, you can use your normal shampoo as it won’t change your hair colour. However, do make sure that the shampoo has moisturising ingredients and does not dry out your strands. Using a hair conditioner after every wash and hair packs are a must if you want your hair to look shiny.

Are sulphate-free shampoos good for coloured hair?

 

Sulphate-infused shampoos are bad for your hair and it’ll strip your hair colour faster than you know. Please opt for sulphate-free shampoos if you have dyed your hair.

Do clarifying shampoos remove colour from hair?

 

Yes, they do. Just stick to shampoos that are specifically formulated for a coloured mane and let your colour live its best life.

Do I need a different shampoo for coloured hair?

 

Yes, you do. Unless you have permanent hair colour. But since the shampoos for coloured hair are specifically formulated to protect and keep your hair looking all glossy and healthy, it is always better to use them.
