I had just dyed my hair a beautiful red colour and I needed a shampoo and conditioner with colour protection technology. This was on special and the red containers stood out on the supermarket shelves.
The container is shower friendly and stood upright and the lid was easy to open with wet hands. The shampoo texture being a medium thickness and a pinky colour that looks slightly shimmery. I liked the smell of the shampoo, slightly sweet but not over powering and it lathers up nicely.
I used this shampoo up fairly quickly around 4-5 weeks as my hair is quite long and to get a good clean I needed a reasonable amount of shampoo. The container was also slightly smaller then I am use to being 200mls not 250mls.
It did clean my hair reasonably well and didn't leave my hair feeling greasy but I felt let down on the colour protection which was the whole reason I brought the shampoo in the first place. I could see the colour washing down the drain and it was visible on the towel I used to help dry my hair. So I would not recommend this shampoo.
This Sunsilk Vibrant Colour Protection Shampoo is one of the best affordable shampoos on the market, you can pick it up for $2.50 - $3.50 and a bottle lasts a few weeks. I have dyed hair and when i'm not using a purple shampoo, conditioner or a toner I used the Sunsilk Colour protection shampoo + conditioner duo in between. It works great, helps keep my hair looking silky, fresh and doesn't strip colour or leave my hair looking straw- like as I have had that problem in the past. It also smells AMAZING, I wish they'd release this scent it is gorgeous. Has been a regular purchase for 4/5 year now and will always be.
Tips: Great for use in between washes using purple shampoo, conditioner or toners.
