Shampoo for colored hair

Why special shampoo for colored hair?

When you dye your hair, the hair cuticles are chemically opened to lock in the color pigments. Regular shampoos often have an overly strong cleansing action, causing these cuticles to open again and the color pigments to wash away quickly. A special shampoo for colored hair is specifically formulated with a lower pH value and mild cleansers. As a result, the hair cuticles remain closed, color fading (oxidation) is minimized, and your colored hairstyle retains its vibrancy and shine for significantly longer.

What does a shampoo for colored hair do?

A shampoo for colored hair does much more than just cleanse; it acts as a protective shield. The advanced formulas have a triple action:

• Color fixation: It seals the color pigments deep within the hair fiber.

• UV protection: It contains UV filters that prevent sunlight from dulling or fading the hair color.

• Deep repair: Colored hair is often chemically treated and requires extra care.

• The shampoo nourishes and hydrates the porous parts of the hair, keeping it frizz-free and giving it a healthy shine.

Is shampoo for colored hair sulfate-free?

Not every shampoo for colored hair is automatically sulfate-free, but the best variants are. Sulfates (such as SLS and SLES) are powerful cleansers that create a lot of lather, but they can stubbornly strip artificial color pigments and natural oils from the hair.

Keune’s professional color-protecting shampoos are specifically developed with mild, sulfate-free or low-sulfate alternative cleansers. This ensures gentle cleansing of the scalp without affecting the intensity of your salon color.

How often can you wash colored hair?

To keep your color looking beautiful for as long as possible, the advice is to wash your hair a maximum of 2 to 3 times per week. The more often colored hair comes into contact with water and shampoo, the faster the color molecules escape. First 48 hours: In any case, do not wash your hair during the first 48 hours after your color treatment; the pigments still need to fully set. In between: Does your hair get greasy in the meantime? Then use a dry shampoo to postpone a wash.

How do you use shampoo for colored hair for the best results?

For maximum color retention, follow this step-by-step plan:

• Use lukewarm water: Hot water opens the hair cuticles, causing color to fade faster. Always wash your hair with hand-warm or lukewarm water.

• Focus on the scalp: Apply a small amount of shampoo to the roots and gently massage it in. The lengths will be clean enough when you rinse out the shampoo.

• Finish with cold water: Rinse the shampoo for colored hair (and the subsequent conditioner for colored hair) with cooler water to close the hair cuticles extra well for an intense shine.

• Always use a conditioner: A color-protecting conditioner is important to seal in the care.
