Best shampoo/conditioner for coloured hair?

MissMotivated

I use Herbal Essence for coloured hair, a hairdresser once told me that most shampoos/conditioners leave a residue on the scalp which causes your hair to get greasy quicker but that Herbal Essence doesn't, when I was using Pantene I did have to wash my hair every day but with Herbal Essence every second day is fine.
I saw a thread here about silicone in shampoos not being good for the hair but can't see it in the ingredients, also I'm not sure if it has colour protect.
This is my hair colour,




I need to get it dyed every 4 weeks, my natural colour is a really light auburn and my roots start to show after 2 weeks but by 4 they're really noticable, just wondering if any shampoos/conditioners help your colour last longer?

Hey,

I use Dumb Blonde shampoo and conditioner despite the name its not just for blonde hair. Conditioner can be used as a regular conditioner and also a hair mask. You'll get good deals on ebay for it that's where I purchase it.

It's not listed as "silicone", it's listed by its chemical name - usually "amodimethicone".

Pantene is terrible for your hair and especially so if it's coloured as silicone shampoos strip colour out of hair.

My hair is very dark brown, it's got a permanent dye in it.

I bought this and the corresponding conditioner a while ago in boots on a whim when it was on special because I my colour kept fading really quickly. Have to say I'm delighted with how well it's worked. I coloured it about a month ago and the colour is pretty much the same now as it was after the first wash. This is for brunette and red head but there is one for blonde hair too.

There's no residue left, no greasiness, and I can get a good 2 days out of my hair. It gives a really lovely sheen to my hair too. It was only €1.50 a bottle when I got it so it's worth a shot I'd say.

Best of luck with it.

Thanks Etho I wasn't sure if it would be listed as silicone or something else, had meant to ask that.

I went to Boots today to get this and picked up the Honey and Jojoba mask in the same range. I used it earlier and it's fantastic, my hair that was so dry from over use of the GHD is soft, shiney and really healthy looking - and it was cheap and cheerful as well, big tub i think was €2!

I buy this too. I fid it terribly good for keeping my dyed hair brown - and v. cheap too

However, the matching conditioner is not very good. I use matching hair mask - think it is 1.99 euro - it's excellent - major thumbs up!
