The 10 Very Best Shampoos for Color-Treated Hair

Nourishing, no-dull formulas..

Portrait of Rachael Griffiths

In this article

Best shampoo for color-treated hair overall.

  • Best (less expensive)
  • Best for oily hair
  • Best for dry hair
  • Best for frizzy hair
  • Best for curly hair
  • Best for fine hair
  • Best for specific colors

I have dyed my hair every color under the sun, so I know that a good shampoo for color-treated hair has a lot to get right. I want a shampoo that preserves my new color and undoes some of the damage that coloring may have done but that also is a good all-around shampoo (cleansing and adding hydration or body, depending on your hair type). Luckily, my many bleach and dye escapades mean that I’ve tried plenty of color-safe formulas. By now, I know the stripping ingredients to avoid and the nourishing ingredients to keep an eye out for. And I also know that a great color-safe shampoo doesn’t need to be marketed as such (in fact, one of my favorite color-safe shampoos is our best shampoo overall ).

And while I’ve tested several of these shampoos, there are some hair colors that even I haven’t gotten to yet, so I’ve included recommendations and advice from 13 hair experts, including salon owners and celebrity stylists .

What we’re looking for

Sulfate or sulfate-free:.

Sulfates are essentially detergents that give shampoo that satisfying lather. Unless you have a really easily irritated scalp, they’re completely safe to use — but they’re strong and can be stripping. That’s why I’d advise most people with treated hair to avoid them , as they can cause color to fade faster. It’s worth noting that I’ve included a few shampoos that use them, though, and they’re the picks for hair that gets oily at the root. That’s because hair that tends to get greasy does benefit from that extra cleaning power they provide — but more on that below.

Color-protecting ingredients:

Instead of sulfates, I’ve been hunting for ingredients that will prolong color, repair damage, reinstate some shine, and of course keep your hair clean . Different hair has different needs, and that’s as true here as everywhere. So for blondes, I’ve found shampoos with purple-depositing formulas to fight brassiness. As the sun can fade color, I’ve also looked for ingredients that provide UV protection (like vitamin C, avocado oil, and green tea), as well as moisturizing ingredients (like glycerin).

We’ve made sure to note the total ounces of shampoo you’re getting per dollar if you’re shopping on a budget.

I’ve made sure to note the total ounces of shampoo you’re getting for each price.

Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo

Sulfate free | Color-protecting ingredients: Bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate (bond rebuilder) | Scent: Citrus | Size: 8.5 ounces

As a beauty writer, I have a rotating cast of shampoos — but for the past three years, Olaplex No. 4 has been a constant on my shelf. Although this product was originally intended for bleached hair, both colorist Patty O’Gara and stylist Fred Connors agree that Olaplex No. 4 is suitable for all hair types. That’s why it’s worked wonders for me, both when my home-bleached hair was on the brink of snapping off and now with my (albeit healthier) color-treated red hair. Olaplex is a bond builder — that means it doesn’t just make the hair appear healthier, it actually works to repair the bonds that make up the hair from within (for more on that, we have an explainer on bond builders here ).

Olaplex is available as an in-salon treatment, and its at-home shampoo uses the same science to repair your hair (though the at-home formulation is not as strong). It contains patented Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate, which is a molecule that repairs broken covalent bonds within the hair (they’re the bonds found in the cuticles of the hair.) All these benefits are aided by other hydrating ingredients like coconut oil, sunflower-seed oil, and glycerin.

For an additional boost of repair, O’Gara recommends pairing this with Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner. Jacome agrees: “Olaplex No. 4 is intended to go hand in hand with the rest of the Olaplex bonding system.” (Olaplex is also a favorite of Strategist beauty columnist Rio Viera-Newton , who relies on the No. 3 treatment to keep her double-processed hair healthy and happy.) It’s not cheap — it sits in the mid-range of shampoo prices — but you only need a coin-sized amount.

Best (less expensive) shampoo for color-treated hair

bondbar Bonding Shampoo

Sulfate free | Color-protecting ingredients: Soybean oil | Scent: Rosy fresh | Size: 8 oz.

Olaplex was the first bond builder, but two new brands have emerged: K18 and Bondbar. While K18 and Bondbar are both featured in this story, Bondbar is the only budget option. “It’s cheap, and yet sort of a holy grail for what your hair needs: moisture balanced with protein,” says celebrity stylist Gregory Patterson. Unlike Olaplex (and K18), which target the covalent bonds of your hair, Bondbar penetrates hydrogen and ionic bonds. Another difference is that it’s not really suited to everyday use: It can weigh hair down and be a bit too heavy on finer hair types. If you want to give bond building a go, though, this is a great budget option.

Best shampoo for oily color-treated hair

Sachajuan Colour Protect Shampoo

Non–sulfate free | Color-protecting ingredients: UV protectant  | Scent: Fruity | Size: 8.4 ounces |

As I mentioned, sulfates are powerful and stripping detergents, which can cause color to fade fast. But if you’re someone with oilier hair, you really benefit from the thorough cleansing power that they provide. That’s why I’ve included a sulfate option here. Brooke Jordan, co-owner of the Bird House, recommends it to her color-treated clients. To temper the harsher sulfates, Sachajuan uses what they call “OceanSilk technology,” which in layman’s terms is a mixture of two mineral-rich algae that nourish and provide moisture to the hair. Strategist writer Dominique Pariso tried and loved this shampoo last year. “When I got my hair highlighted in the fall, this was the shampoo I began using (after Sachajuan was kind enough to send it to me), and I can say with certainty that Jordan did not overpromise,” she says. “My color lasted for months and my hair looked great after each wash.”

Best shampoo for dry color-treated hair

Malin+Goetz Moisturizing Shampoo

Sulfate free | Color-safe ingredients: Coconut surfactant, glycerin | Scent: Fresh | Size: 8 oz.

I recently named this shampoo my favorite overall for the most hair types. It doesn’t take the top spot here, as Olaplex’s bond-building formula is specifically designed for color-treated hair. But if you’re less concerned about breakage and more about dryness, or if you’re a double shampooer and looking to mix and match, Malin + Goetz is still a remarkable option. It cleanses gently with a coconut-derived surfactant and then quenches hair with its lovely lathering formula packed with glycerin. “I like the Malin and Goetz shampoo because it’s not 100 percent organic and it’s also not 100 percent chemical,” says Masami Hosono, founder and creative director of Vacancy Project. “It has both, and you really need both, especially if you have a color or anything chemical in your hair. It’s really for any hair type, and it’s not too heavy.”

Best shampoo for frizzy color-treated hair

K18 Peptide Prep Maintenance Shampoo

Sulfate free | Color-protecting ingredients: Amino acids, glycerin | Scent: Clean | Size: 8.5 ounces

If you’ve received both treatments at the salon, you’ll know that K18 works far quicker than Olaplex (an Olplaex treatment takes over an hour, whereas with a K18 treatment, you’ll be done in ten minutes). That mimics what the at-home shampoo promises: K18 say that with just one four-minute treatment with its shampoo, your hair will look visibly less frizzy and frazzled. Viera-Newton says that it’s a covalent-bond builder which is “incredibly expensive, but a tiny bit goes a long way, and my God, it works .” Tara Burke also recommends using K18 Maintenance shampoo. She says it gently cleanses even sensitive scalps and will quench hair without weighing it down or fading your color. The result, according to Burke, is frizz-prone hair that not only looks and feels better but is also easier to style. She points out two added perks: “a nice, clean scent and a nice lather.”

Best shampoo for curly color-treated hair

Pattern Hydration Shampoo

Non–sulfate free | Color-protecting ingredients: 10 oils, shea butter | Scent: Jasmine, bergamot, and sandalwood | Size: 9.8 oz.

This is my favorite shampoo for curly hair in our larger shampoo piece — and it retains its crown here. As curly hair types can trap oil at the root, the strands and tips can become dry and brittle, which is only exacerbated with color-treatment. That’s why you need a balance between sulfates and hydration: The sulfates will cleanse that oil buildup and then moisturizing ingredients will prevent any dryness. This shampoo from Tracee Ellis Ross’s hair-care line has precisely those — honey, aloe vera, and ten oils including coconut and avocado oil. “It’s really incredible,” says Stephanie Louis , the chief executive and operating officer of Stylebox Salon, who tells me it’s suitable for even very curly 3B to 4C hair.

Best for fine color-treated hair

Kevin Murphy Angel Wash Shampoo

Sulfate free | Color-protecting ingredients: Green-tea extract, oat protein | Scent: Fresh | Size: 8.4 ounces

If you’ve got fine, limp hair, I understand you want volume just as much as you want to preserve your color. Kevin Murphy’s Angel Wash toes that line nicely. Instead of sulfates, it contains sodium cocoyl isethionate, a surfactant known as one of the most gentle cleansing agents. It also contains another surfactant that comes from coconuts, which has thickening properties. Vitamin C and green tea provide moisture and UV protection, which shields your color from the sun, while glycerin deeply moisturizes your hair. There’s also nourishing sunflower oil and rosehip oil, and wheat and oat proteins which forms a thickening film around color-damaged hair. Overall, this a great formula that has really been designed with both thinning and color-preserving properties in mind. Kevin Murphy shampoos also have some of the best scents (and bottles) too.

Best shampoo for blonde color-treated hair

Clairol Shimmer Lights Original Shampoo

Non-sulfate free | Scent: Floral  | Size: 16 oz. | Color-protecting ingredients: Purple-depositing pigment

Anyone with bleached blonde hair knows you want to avoid brassy tones at all costs — and the solution is turning to the color wheel. Purple tones neutralize yellow and orange ones, and Clairol Shimmer Lights shampoo is my cheap and cheerful pick. It’s the one that Mary Ann Hennings — hair-department head on Daisy Jones and the Six — used on Suki Waterhouse. She said that it works fast, brightening hair with just a couple of uses. It also has plenty of the other stuff you want to clean your dyed hair, namely nourishing vegetable protein, and deeply cleansing sulfate surfactants.

Best color-safe shampoo for brunettes

Fanola No Orange Shampoo

Sulfate free | Color-protecting ingredients: Blue depositing pigment | Scent: Citrus | Size: 3.38 ounces

To turn to the color wheel again, blue tones are best to neutralize the brassiness in brunette hair — this brassiness doesn’t need to be lightened as much as with bleached blonde hair. O’Gara typically tells her clients to wash once a week with a toning shampoo to “stay ahead of the brass that will naturally set in as the oxidation process unfolds in between color services.” She loves Fanola No Orange, a blue pigmented shampoo for brunettes struggling with unwanted orange tones. “One to two applications should subtly tone the hair, extending the life of those pricey highlights,” she adds. But it’s best to use such shampoos no more than once a week, as excessive use can not only dry the hair but cause an overload of purple or blue pigment that leaves the intended color looking drab.

Best shampoo for red color-treated hair

Crazy Color Red Shampoo for Red Hair

Sulfate free | Scent: Fruity | Size: 8.45 ounce s | Color-protecting ingredients: Color depositing

If you fell victim to the 2014 dip-dye trend, Crazy Color will be on your radar. It’s known for its semi-permanent colors ( think Manic Panic ), and as a longtime fan, I was pleased to discover that it also makes color-safe shampoos. My hair is a very artificial cherry red, and the upkeep is constant. I’ll usually sleep in a mask of conditioner and semi-permanent drops , but in a pinch — or when I simply can’t be bothered — I’ve been reaching for this shampoo. It comes out in a deep-red goo and doesn’t really have much lather, so I find it works best in my routine after an initial shampoo with a different product. But then I’ll leave this to marinate for about five minutes in the shower. My color has definitely been slower to fade, and it’s not been stripping or drying whatsoever thanks to the sulfate-free ingredient list. It also has a nice fruity and not at all chemical scent.

Keep your 'do from fading fast with the Tresemmé shampoo and matching conditioner that best helped retain color in the GH Beauty Lab's most recent test — the pair was also the consumer tester favorite. Though a sulfate formula, h air samples showed the least color change after 20 washes and 10 hours of UV exposure in Lab evaluations . Plus, this color-safe drugstore duo was the most affordable option we tested. Made with frizz-smoothing keratin and marula oil, the formula had testers saying it "felt creamy and rich like expensive salon-quality products."

A GH Beauty Lab go-to, this bargain-price sulfate-free L'Oréal Paris formula is made to both preserve color and soften strands. In a consumer study, the majority of women who used the shampoo and matching conditioner found that it helped hair color stay "pure" after four weeks of use , Lab data evaluation found. Just note that some online reviewers who have damaged hair found it drying.

Dry, brittle ends are a risk you take with dye jobs. Thankfully, Davine's NouNou shampoo aims to deeply nourish dehydrated hair while offering a "rich, creamy lather," according to celebrity hairstylist Clariss Rubenstein . Color-treated (especially bleached) hair tends to oxidize more than non-color-treated hair. Given that, Rubenstein says properly nourished, hydrated and moisturized hair helps color oxidize less. She recommends Davines because it makes hair feel "cared for, clean and not stripped of any natural oil ."

Color Assure Radiant Color Care Shampoo

This reasonably priced protein-infused shampoo and its conditioner counterpart from Nexxus win the praises of color pros thanks to its ability to remove product buildup without stripping color . "It prevents fading on any color-treated hair and maintains hair health," says New York City colorist Patrick Kyle . One Amazon reviewer wrote that it takes a decent amount of shampoo to get a good lather, however.

BlondMe All Blondes Rich Shampoo

All Blondes Rich Shampoo

Keep color protection top of mind with a shampoo that celebrity hairstylist Michael Dueñas raves "helps strengthen the hair internally and closes the cuticle, ensuring that your color lasts longer with less fading." The castor oil ingredient leaves hair feeling incredibly soft and shiny, he adds. It's "also gentle with cleansing and retains your hair's natural moisture, ensuring you don’t strip away your artificial color ," says Dueñas. While online reviewers enjoyed the formula, one added that it dried out their hair slightly.

Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo

Strength Cure Shampoo

From a brand created specifically for color care, this Pureology shampoo and its conditioner formulation contain proteins and botanical oils to fortify and nourish dry, damaged strands . "I couldn't believe how soft and lush my hair felt after using these, even right after it was bleached," marvels GH's beauty director April Franzino . The shampoo comes with a higher price tag, though we think the hefty amount of product keeps this at a good value.

Fekkai Technician Color Shampoo

Technician Color Shampoo

Great for keeping her highlighted hair looking fresh, Franzino also enjoys this color-safe shampoo for how well it leaves her hair feeling clean but not dehydrated . "Plus, the scent is amazing and makes showering feel luxurious!" she adds about its peachy smell with tropical notes. Paired with its companion conditioner, the brand claims that the duo gently cleanses colored hair. That said, some shoppers had trouble getting it to lather well, which led to shampooing twice for a more satisfying cleanse.

Shu Uemura Color Lustre Sulfate-Free Brilliant Glaze Shampoo

Color Lustre Sulfate-Free Brilliant Glaze Shampoo

For a luxe sulfate-free option that increases vibrancy, check out Shu Uemura's color-protecting shampoo and conditioner , recommended by Meri Kate O'Connor , a colorist at Cooper Salon in West Hollywood, CA. "These have refining lipids that help to protect the cortex of the hair, where the color goes, so your shade lasts longer — and hair is left shiny and soft ," she explains. Those with dry scalps reported online that it felt less moisturizing, so oily hair types may benefit more.

Procter & Gamble Supreme Color Protect Shampoo

Supreme Color Protect Shampoo

Created by the gold standard anti-dandruff brand, this Head & Shoulders shampoo and conditioner created for color-treated hair both contain the flake-fighting active ingredient pyrithione zinc . "Not only is dandruff at bay, [but] my hair is [also] shiny, smooth and smells wonderful!" reports one reviewer. Adding nourishment to the equation, the formula combines manuka honey and argan oil. However, online reviewers with curly hair — kinky textures, especially — noted that it wasn't as effective at detangling.

To keep hair color from fading, O'Connor turns to this pair from Goldwell, a collection specially tailored to smooth strands. If you want to make coarse or textured hair silky, she says the shampoo and conditioner are infused with keratin to add extra smoothness and shine. Oily hair types: It's worth keeping in mind that a few online reviewers reported that it left a greasy residue behind.

Matrix Total Results Unbreak My Blonde Shampoo

Total Results Unbreak My Blonde Shampoo

If you're on the search for shampoo for colored hair, opt for this stylist favorite. Celebrity colorist and Matrix brand ambassador Rachel Bodt recommends the My Blonde collection to all her clients who have gotten any sort of chemical lightening service, not just blondes. "Unbreak My Blonde is a three-part, shampoo, conditioning and leave-in treatment , meant to revive hair damaged by chemical lightening — leaving hair soft and shiny. " The only con: an Ulta reviewer who has fine, thin hair says it felt too heavy and hydrating.

How we test color-safe shampoos

linebreak

The Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab tests shampoos for colored hair alongside each brand's matching conditioners , putting the pairs through a number of rigorous evaluations to see how well they perform. During our most recent test, Lab scientists prescreened over 160 shampoo and conditioner duos , narrowing them down to the top 10 formulas .

In the Lab, our chemists performed repeated fade-resistance testing on human hair swatches to mimic real-world conditions, including shampooing, conditioning, blow-drying and repeated exposure to UV light. They also distributed the label-masked shampoos and conditioners to consumer testers around the country, who used the products for two weeks, then evaluated the product's attributes, the look of their color and the feel of their hair after use.

What to look for in a shampoo for colored hair

linebreak

✔️ Opt for strengthening ingredients. Look for ingredients like citric acid, which strengthens bonds weakened from the hair-lightening process. Bodt recommends Matrix Unbreak My Blonde collection for its ability to revive damaged hair.

✔️ Look for "sulfate-free" formulas. Sulfates sud the hair and cause pigment loss, says Bodt. When you have heavily bleached hair you will want to incorporate something that has a bonding treatment or protein and moisture.

The 11 best shampoos for color-treated hair, according to hairstylists and experts

When you buy through our links, Business Insider may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more

Between root touch-ups and biweekly maintenance appointments, getting your hair professionally colored at the salon can get pricey. New York City-based stylist and salon owner Nunzio Saviano of Nunzio Saviano Salon explains, "Color-treated hair requires special care to keep it vibrant and true in tone." Stretch your dollar even further with the best shampoo for color-treated hair, like our top pick, the Kérastase Chronologiste Shampoo for Dull and Brittle Hair , which leaves hair glossy and vivid after each wash. 

With all this in mind, New York City-based hairstylist Nicholas Taylor notes that some of the best shampoos for color-treated hair are often sulfate-free since these detergents can end up stripping the hair. He says, "Sulfates are so strong that they will completely fade the color you just paid all that money for at the salon."

To help narrow your options, we've rounded up the best shampoos for color-treated hair for different hair types, colors, and price points. Keep scrolling for a few of our favorite expert-approved picks, plus more helpful tips.

He continues, telling Insider, "It also contains Japanese white peony, which soothes, softens, and moisturizes hair."

As a bonus, this color-safe shampoo is enriched with hydration-boosting glycerin and vitamin-rich aloe .

Best for thick hair: Ouai Thick Hair Shampoo

Ouai's Thick Hair Shampoo is Taylor's top pick for clients with a head full of hair. He tells Insider, "I've noticed it easily cleans every strand of hair in one shampoo and is super hydrating." Additionally, it's enriched with beneficial ingredients like glycerin, shea butter, and avocado oil.

Best for oily hair: Oribe The Cleanse Clarifying Shampoo

If you have oily strands , consider incorporating a clarifying shampoo into your hair-care routine. Taylor recommends Oribe's The Cleanse Clarifying Shampoo, which should be used no more than once a week. Per the stylist, this shampoo "uses skincare exfoliants and does away with dirt, oil, and product buildup without completely stripping your hair like most clarifying shampoos."

Best for brunettes: Redken Color Extend Brownlightes Shampoo

According to Taylor, the best way to describe the blue-hued Redken's Color Extend Brownlightes Shampoo is as a purple shampoo but for brunettes . "This sulfate-free shampoo tones and neutralizes brass in both natural and color-treated brunettes," Taylor says.

Best for red hair: Oribe Shampoo for Beautiful Color

The Oribe Shampoo for Beautiful Color is especially ideal for those with red hair thanks to its color-locking formula.

Me encanta porque no meda ninguna. Clase de picazón y muy fácil de aplicarlo lo recomiendo 💯 recomendado

User picture

I was so skeptical with the product says made in china ,I was afraid that my head going to be itchy as my hair scalp so sensitive ! I used one and half package ,one packet is not enough to shampoo my hair .it does covers all my gray hair ,not sure how long it will last stay on my hair. Also stained my nails and fingers due to the broken gloves .

User picture

Long lasting colour indeed. Before using it, I had coloured my hair blond with another natural product.After colouring with Herbishh, it became the first time a bit reddish. I used a conditioner to remove the red. Finally I mixed dark brown with light brown colour. I prefer light brown still, because it is more vivid and the colour looks like in the picture from the website.

User picture

This shampoo did exactly what it said it would do! I have washed it three times since using and the color is still in and looking great! Thanks so much!

User picture

Thanks I received my package with in few days. Shampoo is amazing. It did work on my gray hair also hair looks so soft and shiny after wash. You just use product as much you want it instead of use the whole bottle of hair dye. Mess free shampoo must recommend to anyone. Thanks

The 9 Best Shampoos for Thinning Hair and Hair Loss, According to Testers and Experts

Regrowth, right this way.

travel size shampoo for colored hair

Byrdie / Kristin Kempa

In This Article

Our favorite shampoo for thinning hair is the Briogeo Destined for Density Peptide Shampoo , a formula designed to encourage scalp circulation—which creates the ideal environment for hair regrowth—and hydration. For those on a budget, we love the Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Strengthening Shampoo , which contains rosemary and peppermint oils to clean the scalp and address shedding head-on.

It’s normal to shed anywhere from 50 to 100 strands per day, but if you start to notice that you’re regularly losing clumps of hair or find patchiness on your scalp, it could be hair loss or thinning, explains board-certified dermatologist Dr. Suneel Chilukuri, M.D. While the underlying causes of hair loss vary across hormonal changes, genetics, and even traumatic events, there are a few products that can mitigate the damage. One of the easiest ways to support healthy hair is through a shampoo specifically for thinning hair. 

Why a shampoo? According to hairstylist Adam Federico , hair thinning should be addressed at the scalp. “First and foremost, I recommend doing everything you can to ensure that your scalp is in its best condition," he explains. "Hair grows through follicles on your scalp, and if those follicles are blocked or obstructed by dead skin cells, growth can slow or stop completely.”

Shampoos for thinning hair boost volume and thickness while promoting an ideal environment on the scalp where hair growth can thrive. To help you narrow down the prospects, we tested top-rated shampoos on our hair for several weeks. We paid attention to how well each formula addressed fallout, as well as whether or not we saw an improvement in hair thickness, fullness, and strength. After consulting dermatologists and haircare experts, we landed on these top picks. 

Our Top Picks

  • Runner-Up, Best Overall: Biolage Advanced Full Density Thickening Shampoo at Amazon ($24)
  • Best Budget: Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Strengthening Shampoo at Amazon ($10)

Best Overall

Briogeo destined for density peptide shampoo.

Gentle, effective cleansing while supporting thicker-looking hair

Encourages scalp circulation

Cruelty-free and sulfate-free formula works on all hair types

Bottle could be bigger

Key Ingredients: Glycerin, biotin, caffeine, ginseng root, aloe vera | Size : 8 oz | Cruelty-Free : Yes | Sulfate-Free : Yes | Hair Type : All hair types  

We tried a lot of different formulas during this test, but none shined as brightly as this shampoo from Briogeo. It boasts a lightweight texture that foams up when it comes into contact with water and an ingredient list that rivals that of a health food store haul: caffeine , ginseng root, aloe vera leaf juice , zinc , and biotin . The formula combines these scientifically proven ingredients to encourage scalp circulation (which creates the ideal environment for hair regrowth) and provide copious amounts of hydration. 

Our tester, Jaclyn, was experiencing excessive dryness and thinning hair. When she incorporated this shampoo into her haircare routine, she found that it gave her hair the body it had been missing. “The few spots I was worried about have filled in, and my hair looks smoother and shinier than ever,” she explained. “It gave me my confidence back.” And how do we know for sure that it was the shampoo? Jaclyn admitted that when she went on vacation and switched to a cheaper travel-size shampoo, her hair looked worse instantly after one wash. When she got back home and used this shampoo again, her hair bounced back to life.

Runner-Up, Best Overall

Biolage advanced full density thickening shampoo.

Removes buildup without causing irritation

Strengthens with biotin, zinc, and omegas

Smooths static and tension

It has a strong mint and clove scent that isn’t for everyone

Key Ingredients: | Size : 13.5 oz | Cruelty-Free : No | Sulfate-Free : No | Hair Type : Curly, thin, straight  

Taking a two-pronged approach to thinning hair, this shampoo gently removes the follicle-clogging impurities that can impede new hair growth. Then, it delivers a host of important nutrients (think biotin, zinc, and omegas) to strengthen the hair you have. So much so that when used with the accompanying conditioner , the brand says it can reduce breakage by up to 95%. And when you’re already dealing with thinning, the less breakage, the better.

Our tester, Leigh, took this shampoo for a spin after experiencing postpartum hair loss, thinning, and general dullness. After using it, she noted that it not only left her hair shinier, fuller, and less staticky, but it also noticeably reduced the amount of shedding she had been experiencing. “I really loved this shampoo and can’t think of one bad thing to say about it,” she says. The only con we could come up with is the fact that the mint and clove scent comes on a bit strong. If you’re not a fan of herbal or earthy scents, consider skipping this one.

Best Budget

Mielle rosemary mint strengthening shampoo.

Effectively strengthens hair with rosemary and mint

Natural and organic ingredients

Moisturizing and detangling

Doesn’t lather as well as some other options

Key Ingredients : Peppermint oil, rosemary oil, babassu oil, coconut oil, castor oil | Size : 12 oz | Cruelty-Free : Yes | Sulfate-Free : Yes | Hair Type : All hair types 

You’ve likely seen the brand’s Rosemary Mint Oil , that’s been all over TikTok for its incredible hair-boosting effects, and this shampoo is no different. It includes the same transformative ingredients such as rosemary oil , peppermint oil , and biotin that have been proven to nourish, clean, and strengthen weak and brittle hair. Our tester, Masego, started using this on her type 4B/4C coils and appreciated how refreshing it felt on her scalp. She noted that she was surprised at how well it cleansed her hair in one wash (normally she has to double cleanse when washing her hair). After extended use, she discovered that it helped promote regrowth in the bald patches along her edges. “My hair feels a lot stronger now compared to when I started using it,” she explained. “I’ve seen less shedding, and the product delivered on the regrowth.”

Safe for color- and chemically-treated hair

Hair feels softer and fuller after extended use

We wish it lathered better

Key Ingredients: Aloe vera, peppermint oil, rosemary oil, macadamia nut extract | Size: 10, 16 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes | Sulfate-Free: Yes | Hair Type: All hair types

If you need a little help in the hair growth department, this shampoo from BondiBoost has got you. The formula contains a strengthening blend of rosemary oil, peppermint oil, macadamia nut extract, and aloe vera to nourish the hair you have and eradicate any buildup that may be blocking the hair follicles. Plus, thanks to the addition of topical hair therapy treatments redensyl and procapil, baby hairs spring up faster and fewer hairs shed over time. Our tester, Nellah, found that although it doesn’t lather well (the only gripe we have with this formula), it washes out easily and leaves the hair feeling soft and manageable. Before she started using the shampoo, she was experiencing fallout, but after using it for several months, she’s seen regrowth in some areas and her hair looks fuller overall.

Best for Fallout

Vegamour gro revitalizing shampoo.

Naturally derived ingredients reduce breakage

Botanical blend of plant-based oils and silk proteins create volume

Instantly adds shine and softness

Can leave behind a residue

Key Ingredients: Peptides, caffeine, Karmatin, biotin | Size: 8 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes | Sulfate-Free: Yes | Hair Type: All hair types

This popular hair growth shampoo is a favorite among testers and editors alike. The star of the show here is the brand’s proprietary vegan silk protein called Karmatin that instantly bonds to the hair—and even stays put post-rinsing—making strands look and feel noticeably thicker. And while it gives hair an instant boost and lift, it also works overtime to help make hair look fuller within three to four months. Plus, it contains a trio of plant-based oils to impart plenty of softness and smoothness. Our tester, Sophia, was looking to address breakage and fallout, and this formula certainly fit the bill. While it wasn’t a miracle worker in terms of density (though her ponytail did appear a bit thicker and voluminous after the testing period), it worked wonderfully to mitigate fallout in the shower.

Best for Breakage

Shu uemerua izumi tonic strenghtening & thickening rice water shampoo.

Fortifies strands without stripping hydration

Infused with Japanese rice water to cleanse and thicken hair

Works quickly

Scent isn’t for everyone

Key Ingredients: Japanese rice water, salicylic acid | Size: 2.5, 10 oz | Cruelty-Free: No | Sulfate-Free: Yes | Hair Type: All hair types

Some shampoos boost hair growth by strengthening the hair shaft, reducing breakage, and cleaning the scalp (allowing newer hairs to sprout up). This formula from Shu Uemura does exactly that. Infused with a blend of Japanese rice water —a known hair-strengthening agent rich in amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants—the shampoo restores damaged hair and prevents future hair loss from taking place. Plus, it strengthens the hair bonds, thickening the overall look of your hair in the process. Our tester, Ciara, found that it strengthened her hair beautifully after experiencing post-partum hair loss. “It helped strengthen the hair I have and encouraged new growth,” she explained at the end of her testing journey. “My hair looks shinier, too.” 

Best for Hair Density

Nioxin system 1 shampoo.

Clinically designed to add thickness and fullness

Removes sebum and impurities from hair follicles to promote healthy growth

Minimizes hair breakage over time

Not intended for color- or chemically-treated hair

Key Ingredients: Wild mint oil, peppermint oil, salicylic acid | Size: 10 oz | Cruelty-Free: No | Sulfate-Free: No | Hair Type: All hair types, except for color- or chemically-treated hair

Designed for natural, untreated hair with light thinning, Nioxin’s System 1 Shampoo works to nourish and cleanse follicle-clogging sebum and debris to promote thicker, fuller hair. Ingredients such as wild mint oil, peppermint oil, and salicylic acid work together to slough away dead skin cells and calm the scalp to create an environment in which hair will thrive. It may be a bit tingly at first (which our tester, Amanda, loved), but at least you know it's getting to work quickly. Results are speedy, too; Amanda explained that she saw results in about three weeks. “My hair looks so much fuller. I seem to have more hair, and it got so long because it’s not breaking as much,” she shared. 

Best Strengthening

Superzero strengthening & scalp stimulating shampoo for thinning hair.

Boosts hair health and strength with stimulating ingredients

Reduces breakage

Solid shampoo bar cuts back on waste

Solid bar not for everyone

Key Ingredients: Keratin, caffeine, rosemary oil, menthol, amla extract | Size: 2.15 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes | Sulfate-Free: Yes | Hair Type: All

Shampoo bars don’t get enough credit, and we believe it's high time these formulas get the respect they deserve. Superzero’s Strengthening & Scalp Stimulating Shampoo is a great option to reach for when you want to add strength to your strands. A blend of keratin, caffeine, rosemary oil, menthol, and amla extract works together to stimulate the scalp (which promotes growth) and reduce hair loss and breakage. The result: Hair that’s thicker and fuller. Our tester, Chantia, said that after heat damage, hair dye, and protective styles that caused tension, her hair was starting to thin in the front. “After using the shampoo twice a week for eight weeks, my hair looks fuller in the areas where it was thinning, and the rest of my hair looks healthier,” she explained. “My hair feels stronger, and my edges filled back in.” Intrigued? Us too. To use it, all you have to do is wet the bar and work it between your palms to form a lather. Once you see bubbles, start massaging it into the crown of your head and rinse out like you would a normal shampoo.

Best Clarifying

Viviscal thickening shampoo.

Thickens hair and gently cleanses with a proprietary complex

Strengthens with keratin and biotin

Works for all hair types and textures

May strip color-treated hair

Key Ingredients: Keratin, biotin | Size: 8.45 oz | Cruelty-Free: Yes | Sulfate-Free: No | Hair Type: All

Viviscal's oral hair supplement is a fan favorite, but we believe its topical products are just as deserving of a devoted following. Take this pick, for instance: It works well on all hair types and textures, can be used daily, and, along with strengthening ingredients such as keratin and biotin, it also contains the brand's proprietary complex that's formulated to promote thicker strands. It gets bonus points for the fresh, botanical scent and reasonable price tag.

Our tester and longtime contributing writer, Ashley Rebecca , added the Viviscal shampoo to her daily wash routine, and she loved that it added volume to her hair without leaving it greasy. She said that with continued use, it left her hair looking thicker and shinier. She also added that it didn't matter whether she heat-styled or just applied product after washing, her hair had the same gorgeous sheen.

What to Look for in a Shampoo for Thinning Hair

  • Type of Hair Thinning: Thinning hair can look like excess breakage, but it can also look like fallout or patchiness. First, identify the type of thinning you’re experiencing. This can help dictate the type of approach you’ll want to take. For example, if you lack growth in a certain area, you might want to stimulate the scalp and get it in tip-top shape to encourage regrowth. If you see breakage at your midlengths, consider something that will strengthen your hair bonds. 
  • Type of Formula: Along that same vein, there are different formulas that do different things. Check to see what each shampoo is formulated to do. A shampoo designed to clarify will do a wonderful job of ridding the gunk clogging your hair follicles, but it probably won’t strengthen the hair as well as something that’s intended to fortify the hair bonds. Look for a shampoo that gets to the root of your particular issue.
  • Ingredients: Ingredients dictate what the formula will do for your hair. If your hair has dried out, nourishing plant oils can help replenish moisture loss and prevent breakage. If you need to remove product buildup or oil on your scalp, a clarifying shampoo with tea tree oil or mint can help. To strengthen your existing hair, try biotin, keratin, and zinc. “Biotin improves the internal structure of the hair, which can help to prevent snapping and breaking,” says Federico.

It all comes down to your particular need and the formula you use. While results may vary depending on the product, the right shampoo can help slow and reverse hair loss. Look for a shampoo that gets to the root of the issue, such as one that's effective at cleansing buildup on the scalp or adding in some much-needed hydration.

Those dealing with thinning hair may want to avoid dry shampoo so as not to cause further hair loss. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Neil Sadick, M.D. , explains that excessive use of these products can lead to buildup, occlusion, and inflammation, all of which may lead to or escalate thinning hair. It’s better to use dry shampoo sparingly and instead wash your hair as often as it needs.

The best purple shampoos for blonde and color-treated hair

travel size shampoo for colored hair

If your hair is naturally blonde, color-treated blonde or gray, you’ll want a purple shampoo in your hair care rotation to maintain the color. To help you pick the best purple shampoo, we spoke to four hairstylists and colorists and asked them about ingredients, formula and color depositing; we also asked our blonde shopping editors for their favorite purple shampoos. Our top pick is the Amika Bust Your Brass Cool Blonde Repair Shampoo , but read on for our other favorites.

SKIP AHEAD The best purple shampoos | What is purple shampoo? | Who should and shouldn’t use purple shampoo? | What are the downsides of purple shampoo? | How to shop for purple shampoo

As its name suggests, purple shampoo has violet pigments to tone and neutralize the hair, which means it’ll counteract unwanted brassiness and yellow/orange hues that can develop over time to help achieve the perfect blonde, according to Brittany Byrd , hairstylist and owner of Blondify Studio. But remember that purple shampoos aren’t meant to cleanse or hydrate your hair nearly as much as regular shampoo , so they shouldn’t act as a replacement.

Selected. Our top picks

travel size shampoo for colored hair

How we picked the best purple shampoos

To keep your hair toned and bright, whether it's blonde, gray or white, our experts recommend considering the following: 

  • Pigment : Yellow tones in hair are neutralized by purple, so you’ll want to find a shampoo with a purple-based pigment. Purple shampoos have varying concentrations of pigments, so they can range from a lavender color to a very dark purple, according to hairstylist and salon owner Tiffany Munoz . 
  • Frequency : Consider how frequently you’ll use a purple shampoo. Lighter, less concentrated purple shampoos will allow for more frequent use, while dark, more pigmented purple shampoos should be used more sparingly, according to our experts. Overusing this type of product can dry out your hair or, in some cases, alter the color of the hair by darkening it or making it appear purple. More on what happens if you overuse it below. 
  • Ingredients: Since this type of shampoo can be drying, you want to look for moisturizing ingredients like shea butter ,hyaluronic acid, glycerin and panthenol, according to our experts.

If you want a shampoo that’s a bit more powerful, consider R+Co’s Bleu Blonded Brightening Shampoo , which is more moisturizing and has a darker violet pigment, according to Munoz.

Recommended frequency by brand: Daily or as needed | Scent: Serious gaze — notes of juniper berries, blood orange, rhubarb, violet, leather accord and dark woods

Nak has multiple blonde shampoos that come in various purple pigment concentrations, according to hairstylist and owner of Blondify Studio, Brittany Byrd .

Kerastase Blond Absolu Ultra-Violet Purple Shampoo

With ingredients like hyaluronic acid and edelweiss flower, this option prevents breakage and protects hair from daily damage while also combatting brassy undertones. Reviewers say this formula is one of the least drying purple shampoos on the market, and although it is one of the more splurge options, a little goes a long way since it’s not intended for daily use.

Recommended frequency by brand: Two to three times a week | Scent: n/a

This option, which has a 4.6-star average rating from over 11,100 reviews on Amazon, also conditions the scalp and strengthens the hair. If you want to target the same concerns but in a less-pigmented formula that is more suited for daily use, consider Silver Shine Light , which only has 50% of the violet pigment seen in the original. 

Recommended frequency by brand: As needed | Scent: Notes of blueberry, blackberry and raspberry

Clairol Shimmer Lights

Clairol Shimmer Lights

This purple shampoo has a lighter color deposit (meaning it does not add a ton of purple pigment to sit on top of the hair shaft) and is one of the most affordable options on this list. “It’s for somebody that wants the occasional maintenance without a huge investment,” says Byrd. Keep in mind that this shampoo might dry out the hair, so use a conditioner in conjunction with it, according to Byrd. 

Recommended frequency by brand: Twice a week or as needed | Scent: n/a

Recommended frequency by brand: Twice to three times a week or as needed | Scent: Citrus

Christophe Robin Baby Blonde Mask

Christophe Robin Baby Blonde Mask

Although this isn’t necessarily a shampoo, you can use this hair mask during every wash, according to Byrd. “It’s a conditioner, so it bathes your hair in nourishing [and] hydrating ingredients [to help] your blonde get some pampering,” she says. “It’s also great because it’s very sheer, so it’s hard to go overboard.”

select How to find the best shampoo to help repair damaged hair

What is purple shampoo, and how does it work.

Purple shampoos help maintain blondes or grays by canceling out (or neutralizing) unwanted tones and yellow hues that occur over time, according to our experts. When you’re shampooing, the purple pigment in the formula gets deposited into your hair, and it sits on top of the hair cuticle to eliminate that yellow and give you the blonde or gray you want. It also reduces how frequently you’ll need touch-ups at the hair salon, experts told us. 

Who should and shouldn’t use purple shampoo?

While you may have seen different colored shampoos on the market, including purple, green and blue options, purple shampoos are strictly reserved for blondes and grays of all hair types and textures, according to our experts. 

It all comes down to color theory: Yellow is across from purple on the color wheel, so it’ll help counteract any of those unwanted yellow tones. (If you’re a brunette, on the other hand, you’ll want a blue shampoo to counteract orange tones following that same theory, says Munoz.)

What are the downsides of purple shampoo?

The most significant downside of using a purple shampoo is that it’s not formulated specifically to cleanse your hair like most shampoos — their purpose is to deposit color, according to Munoz. 

They can also dry out the hair because they tend to not have moisturizing and hydrating ingredients (such as emollients) like normal shampoos do, says Byrd. Experts recommend using a rich conditioner or conditioning agent (like a hair mask ) to help compensate for any dryness, says Munoz. 

Overusing it can also leave your hair looking slightly purple or even gray, and might even cause you to need correction during your next salon visit, says Munoz. (More on what to do if you overuse purple shampoo below.) 

How to shop for a purple shampoo

When shopping for a purple shampoo for your blonde, gray or white hair, our experts recommend considering factors such as consistency and hair type.

Ingredients

When shopping for a purple shampoo, look for hydrating ingredients to avoid your hair from drying out. Consider options with humectants like hyaluronic acid and emollients like shea butter because they can counteract the drying element of purple shampoos, according to Byrd. 

Consistency

Generally, purple shampoos at salons tend to have a thick consistency, while drugstore options have a more liquid consistency, according to Byrd. “I actually tend to like those [liquid options] because clients don’t go as overboard with them,” she says. Runnier shampoos tend to distribute a lot easier, and they usually have less concentrated pigment, so there’s less chance for user error, says Byrd. 

Hair type and texture

Unlike with most other shampoos and hair products, you have a little more flexibility when it comes to choosing a purple shampoo for your specific hair type and texture.. 

  • Hair type , like fine, medium and thick hair, may play a role in determining which purple shampoo to use. Fine hair , for example, has thinner strands, which can get too saturated by purple shampoo compared to a coarser, tighter cuticle, which tends not to hold on to as much purple, says Byrd.
  • Hair texture , on the other hand, doesn’t play a massive role when it comes to purple shampoos, says Byrd. However, if you have curly hair texture , you may want to consider a purple conditioner instead because purple shampoos can strip moisture from your curls, says Byrd.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shampoo your hair regularly and then apply a small (quarter sized) amount of purple shampoo to your hands and mix it with the running water. By emulsifying it (combining it with the water), you can avoid globs of purple in your hair, says Byrd.

After emulsifying it, move it through with your hands, going underneath the hair, at the roots and down your midshaft to the ends, says Byrd. Depending on the pigment’s concentration, you can either immediately rinse the shampoo out or you can leave it on for up to five minutes. However, if you have very porous hair and are a paler blonde, you want to avoid sitting on it for a long time because it can turn your hair purple.

Another way to apply your purple shampoo is the “snow cone” method that Byrd does on herself. This involves taking a small amount of purple shampoo and mixing it with water into a squeezy bottle to dilute it. Afterward, she’ll apply it all over her head like a snow cone. “Especially for your very platinum, almost solid blondes, it really creates the most even application, and it makes sure that the hair is being toned evenly across and that you're not going to get any violet zones,” says Byrd.

There isn’t a specific formula for how often you should use purple shampoo because everyone’s hair is different, according to our experts. However, generally speaking you can use your purple shampoo every four to six washes, says Byrd.

If you initially feel really brassy, you’ll want to try a clarifying shampoo first, says Byrd. This type of product will use the surfactants in the formula to reach into the hair and pull out any contamination that is causing your hair to look discolored, she says.

If that doesn’t work, Munoz recommends asking yourself the following question: When your hair is styled, does it look too yellow, like a light bulb? If so, you know it’s time to reach for a purple shampoo, says Munoz.

Also, not all purple shampoos are made for daily use, so you still want to have a separate shampoo for normal wash days and use a purple shampoo for when you need that toning element, according to experts.

Two main things can happen with overusing a purple shampoo: You can cause or worsen damage and dryness, or you can turn your blonde hair darker or even purple. The latter happens because of the large amount of pigment in these products, which can build up over time and cause hair to look dull, according to Byrd (some warmer undertones in the hair are essential for shine and brightness, she says).

If your hair is drying out, make sure you use other hair care products like a conditioner, leave-in or hair mask to bring in moisture. If your hair is looking purple, use a clarifying shampoo and pay your hairstylist a visit so they can remove the color.

Aside from using a purple shampoo or purple conditioner, there are other ways you can stay true to your blonde.

  • Showerhead filter . No matter where you live, consider using a showerhead filter to prevent microcontaminants, like metals, from ever getting in your hair, says Byrd. Metals like iron, calcium and magnesium can tint your hair and dull out its appearance, says Munoz. Just make sure to change your filter every three months since they tend to accumulate gunk, according to our experts.
  • Clarifying shampoo . These shampoos help remove excess buildup, like dirt and product residue, from your hair and scalp. “It’s actually going to make the products that you use afterward more effective because they can penetrate deep down in your hair,” says Byrd.
