Top 5 Shampoos For Coloured Hair in 2022

Any hairdresser will tell you that the best shampoo for coloured hair is an absolute must in your hair care regime, whether you colour your hair yourself or have it done in the salon. You spent time and money on that new colour and want it to last as long as possible. This makes it necessary to use proper shampoo to sustain its shine and vibrancy.

1. Olapex No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo

Olaplex is a staple in the hair colouring industry, with both a reparative in-salon treatment that many colorists use while colouring and a popular at-home version. The shampoo works to repair the hair bonds that are broken during the colouring process, ensuring that the strands remain ultra-strong and healthy. That alone earns it first place on this list, but we can't forget to mention that, despite being sulfate-free—an important requirement for any type of color-safe shampoo—it foams up nicely and rinses completely clean.

2. Color wow Color Security Shampoo
This selection is free of not only sulphates, but also silicones, oils, and parabens (just to name a few). It leaves no residue behind, so there is no buildup, it works on all hair types, and it is also keratin- and extension-safe.

3. Love Beauty And Planet Murumuru Butter & Rose Blooming Color Shampoo

The sulfate-free formula keeps hair super shiny, allowing the colour to pop. It also contains plant-based detangling ingredients to prevent snarls and add a glossy sheen to color-treated hair, leaving it soft and manageable. But, honestly, the best part is the rose fragrance, which receives numerous compliments every time we use it.

4.  L'Oreal Paris EverStrong Thickening Shampoo
This pick is ideal for those who colour their hair but are constantly trying to bulk up fine strands. It cleanses beautifully (and, yes, foams up nicely) while also helping to increase volume. The minty-rosemary scent is fresh and invigorating—perfect for sleepy mornings—and we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the low price.

5.  R+Co Gemstone Color Shampoo

Use this sudser to keep your colour vibrant and your mane moisturised. It contains a slew of hair-loving ingredients, including antioxidant-rich lychee extract, okra seed extract, vitamin E, and sunflower seed extract, and will help to add shine and fight frizz while conditioning and moisturising your color-treated locks.
