Caring for color treated hair starts with protecting vibrancy and maintaining moisture. After coloring, hair can become more porous, which makes it more prone to fading and dryness. Using a color safe shampoo and a nourishing conditioner for dyed hair helps gently cleanse while preserving tone and shine.

Look for a shampoo for color treated hair that is designed specifically for dyed hair. Our Color Control™ Shampoo and Conditioner is formulated to help reduce color fade while leaving hair soft, smooth, and radiant. Incorporating a weekly treatment also supports long-term strength and vibrancy

To maintain vibrant dyed hair, avoid products that can strip or dull your color.

Here’s what to skip:

• Harsh shampoos that aren’t labeled color safe shampoo
• Clarifying formulas used too frequently
• High heat without protection
• Heavy product buildup that requires aggressive cleansing

Instead, choose our best shampoo for color treated hair—one that gently cleanses while helping lock in tone. Vegan color shampoo formulas are crafted to help maintain shine and help reduce fade, so your color looks freshly done for longer.

It’s best to wait at least 48–72 hours before washing newly dyed hair. This gives the color time to fully set within the hair cuticle, helping prevent premature fading.

When you do wash, use a shampoo for dyed hair that’s specifically formulated for color treated hair. A gentle, color safe shampoo helps preserve richness and dimension while cleansing effectively. Following with a hydrating conditioner helps smooth the cuticle, which enhances shine and protects your investment in color.

A consistent routine is essential for maintaining the health and tone of color treated hair.

A simple, 5 step regimen includes:

1. Cleanse with the best shampoo for colored hair to gently remove buildup without stripping pigment.
2. Condition every wash with a nourishing conditioner for dyed hair to support softness and shine.
3. Use a targeted leave in color control treatment weekly to help strengthen and hydrate.
4. Apply heat protection before styling to prevent dullness and dryness.
5. Refresh tone when needed with a violet-toning shampoo for blonde or highlighted hair.

Our best purple shampoo for blonde hair helps neutralize unwanted yellow or brassy tones while gently cleansing. Purple pigments counteract warm undertones, helping blonde, silver, or highlighted hair look brighter and more balanced.

When choosing the a purple shampoo, look for a formula that tones without drying. Our Purple Toning Shampoo is a plant-powered option that helps maintain cool tones while supporting softness and shine.

Choosing a hair color depends on your skin tone, eye color, maintenance preferences, and overall style goals. Warmer shades like golden blonde or copper complement warm undertones, while ash tones and cool brunettes flatter cooler complexions. If you prefer low maintenance, choose a shade close to your natural color to minimize visible regrowth.
