They Often Contain Sulfates\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMany over the counter products include sulfate detergents like sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate. These ingredients are great at removing dirt and oil  but they also strip color molecules from your hair.\r\n\r\nAs  Result: Faded color, brassy tones, and shorter color longevity.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n2. They Don’t Have a Color Safe pH\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nColor treated hair needs products that help seal the hair cuticle. Most stores bought shampoos have a high pH, which opens the cuticle and lets color escape.\r\n\r\nAs Result: Loss of shine and vibrancy.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n3. They Lack Moisturizing, Color Protecting Ingredients\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n### Salon grade color shampoos include ingredients like:\r\n\r\n• UV filters\r\n\r\n• Bond builders\r\n\r\n• Color protecting oils\r\n\r\n•Protein and ceramides\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMost OTC products do not include these, so they fail to nourish and protect treated hair.\r\n\r\nAs Result: Dryness, breakage, and dullness.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n4. Heavy Silicones Cause Build Up\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDrugstore conditioners often use heavy silicones that coat hair. While hair feels smooth initially, built up silicones:\r\n\r\nBlock moisture from entering\r\n\r\nTrap dulling residue\r\n\r\nWeigh hair down\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n### As Result: Color looks flat and lifeless over time.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n5. They Accelerate Color Fade\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAll of the above lead to a common issue: rapid fading of hair color. This means more frequent salon visits and more money spent over time.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBest Practices for Color Treated Hair\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n**Use shampoos & conditioners that are:**\r\n\r\n• Sulfate free\r\n\r\n• PH balanced for color  treated hair\r\n\r\n• Formulated with UV protection and moisturizing nutrients\r\n\r\n• Free of heavy silicones that cause buildup","heroImage":"https://fisherman.gumlet.io/public/46282378-07b9-4776-a727-dc6cdfba31fc/posts/Counter_Shampoo__Conditioner.jpg","seoTitle":"Blog - Color-Safe Shampoo Tips for Treated Hair","seoDescription":"Drugstore shampoo and conditioner can strip color-treated hair, causing fading and dullness.
