I have color-treated hair. It doesn't have to necessarily be for colored hair, but I'd prefer it. Just looking for a salon shampoo and some conditioner that makes my hair soft, silky, and smooth. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks a lot. Regular shampoos too are ok, just list the name and where to buy.What's a good salon shampoo that I should buy?
been in salon retail. matrix colorsmart is nice w/great lather and won't weigh hair down. biolage colorcare is good. redken color extend seems like is hard to get a good lather, but the hair feels nice. all depends on what type of hair you have, fine, coarse, thin, thick.....Redken allsoft shampoo and conditioner will by far of all of the above make your hair the softest and silkiest.What's a good salon shampoo that I should buy?
ask your stylist
I have found tresemme for your specific color is a good choice. I absolutely love their products and it was recommended by my stylist as a good regular shampoo without salon product prices. Never use Pantene for sure because their products contain plastics and so you're basically coating your hair in nastiness to make it shiny, and then it gets greasy A LOT faster.
Biolage is a pretty good, salon quality shampoo. It's not very expensive either. The only shampoo I would really not recommend is Pantene. It just feels like it leaves a waxy build up, but just my opinion. One of the cheaper shampoos that works well is Garnier Fructise.
Actually, salon products are better for hair, especially those for color-treated hair. Anything that has the word ';water'; or ';aqua'; as the first ingredient is probably bad. Shampoos like Aussie, Pantene, and Thermasilk build up in hair over time and can damage your roots. You're thinking smart to buy salon products. I would reccomend that you be the only one to use them though. I buy mine and don't share (selfish, eh?) but i can make a regular sized bottle last up to three months if i shampoo every other day.
If you have color treated hair, i would reccomend Biolage, and to make your color last longer, try not to wash every day. Also, don't use many styling products unless you have to.
If the color treatment damaged your hair, try catwalk oatmeal and honey treatment.
If you must buy store-bought, John Freida has a WONDERFUL collection for colored hair, brilliant brunette, radiant red, and sheer blonde, depending on what color it is.
Hope this helps..
and remember, there's a REASON these salon products are so expensive, they work.

Redken and it doesnt contain any alcohol so it will be better for your hair (making it smooth and silky) PLUS will protect your color.. they even have a ';color extend'; for ppl who color their hair to keep the color fresh. it's like 9.50 a bottle and you dont have to use but just a lil ';dab'; anyway.
I have spent thousands of dollars on Salon shampoos and conditioners, to learn over the years, that there is no difference. I have fallen in love with Pantene Pro-V for Dyed and Color treated hair. It's about 5-8 dollars depending on where you buy it. I love it! =)
Sebastion in the white bottle with purple for color, and joico colored hair conditioner are best. Once a week, deep condition with that stuff that comes in boxed hair dye, the 6 week stuff, not the use it all in one day stuff (too heavy). Color seal conditioner is good if you want highlights to stand out.
Have you tried dog shampoo? My poodle loves it.
