REVIEWER HIGHLIGHT
"I dye my hair myself and usually don't care if the shampoo is color safe bc I do it all myself and don't mind doing touch ups. This shampoo has been making my hair bearly fade and I am in love with it. I dye my hair a dark blue knowing it will fade, and this has kept it a steady dark blue for weeks, and I shower just about every day. The only downfall is it stings your eyes if you accidentally get it in while washing, but it's an easy fix with water. It smells amazing and really keeps your hair color lasting, highly recommend for dyed hair."

WHY YOU NEED IT
Although it's the most affordable shampoo on the list, it's equally effective. It helps to maintain and safeguard the color of your hair while providing additional moisture without weighing it down.

It smells amazing, and it makes you feel clean after using it. The best part is that it’s sulfate free, and it will not strip your hair color out.
