Best shampoo for coloured hair (salon perspective)
“Best” depends on your colour type — but a few rules always apply.
Look for colour-protect formulas
Gentle surfactants, UV filters where possible, and conditioning agents that seal the cuticle.
Purple shampoo is a tool, not a daily wash
Use to neutralise brass on a schedule your colourist sets. Leave on only as long as directed.
Extensions need gentler rules
If you wear extensions, avoid heavy oils at the bond and use extension-safe cleansers.
