Choosing the right shampoo is essential to keep your color-treated hair vibrant and hydrated.

1. Color-Safe Formula

Look for shampoos specifically labeled as 'color-safe' or 'for color-treated hair.' These formulas are designed to gently cleanse without stripping away your hair color.

2. Moisturizing Ingredients

Dry, color-treated hair needs extra hydration. Seek out shampoos with nourishing ingredients like argan oil, shea butter, or hyaluronic acid to help restore moisture and softness.

3. Sulfate-Free Cleansers

Sulfates can be harsh on both color and moisture levels. Opt for sulfate-free shampoos to prevent fading and further dryness.
