Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Strengthening Shampoo - 20 fl oz

A: Hi there!! Thank you for connecting with us. The Rosemary Mint Shampoo is formulated without sulfates - typically a desired trait for those with color-treated hair. We still recommend spot testing as hair becomes more porous when chemically treated. Even with sulfate free and color safe products, color treated hair can still experience some bleeding. We hope these tips can help keep your color-treated hair looking vibrant and healthy for longer! 1. Consider how frequently you wash: Try to wash your hair less often to preserve the color. The more you wash, the faster the color can fade. 2. Cool Water Rinse: try rinsing your hair with cool or lukewarm water. Hot water opens the hair cuticle, which can cause color to wash out more quickly. 3. Deep Condition Regularly: Use a color-safe deep conditioner once a week to keep your hair hydrated and smooth. This helps maintain the color and shine. 4. Try to Avoid Overusing Heat Tools: Minimize the use of heat-styling tools like blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons. If you do use them, apply a heat protectant spray first to protect your color-treated hair from damage. Don't forget to allow opportunities for hair to rest from heat. 5. Protect from Sun and Chlorine: UV rays and chlorine can cause color to fade. Wear a hat in the sun and use a swim cap or rinse your hair before swimming to minimize chlorine absorption. 6. Try Using a Leave-In Conditioner: Apply a leave-in conditioner after washing to add moisture and protect your hair from environmental damage. Choose one formulated for color-treated hair for added protection.
