Any such thing as a 2in1 shampoo & conditioner for coloured hair?

Any such thing as a 2in1 shampoo & conditioner for coloured hair?

My hair is coloured, but I love 2in1s.

I love the deep clean of Head & Shoulders so if I can find a 2in1 for coloured hair I will do H&S for coloured for my first wash & the coloured 2in1 for my second.
Meaning a deep clean the first wash & the conditioner one on the second wash:D

But I can't find a 2in1 for coloured hair:(

    I have never found 2-in-1's moisturising enough but if thats not what you need...

    Be wary of Head and Shoulders though- they are like no.1 for washing out hair colour according to dozens of surveys of the stuff, its to do with the type of sulfates they use.

    Maybe try a normal shampoo and then an after/leave in conditioner following. You could also try mixing a shampoo and conditioner together? (Head and Shoulders if thats your poison!) not something I've tried in theory could work. Maybe try with one wash, see how it turns out?

    Tried the Aussie 2-in-1 myself, just wasn't moisturising for my hair which is bone dry-damaged anyway.

    The 2in1 is just right for my hair.
    Re H&S thats why I only use the one for coloured hair.

    Glad the 2-in-1 is fine for your hair, was just saying its too drying for my hair- sorry, I wasn't trying to say it was too dry for your hair! Just seemed silly me trying to offer advice when I hadn't even tried myself- wanted to explain why I had not tried rather then not.

    Does the coloured version work with coloured hair? just asking as I have heard so many bad reviews on it, its become (on hair and beauty sites I visit) like the Holy Grail of how to wash your colour out on makeupalley, even thr coloured version (hence me not ever trying and commenting as I did).

    Have you tried the Aussie 2-in-1? not sure if they do a coloured version but know they have a 2-in-1 at any rate.

  • Dove do a 2 in 1 with serum in it and thats fab! I have coloured hair and use it on holiday, so no frizz and it doesnt seem to fade the colour.

    I always thought 2 in 1s caused build up but I must say they will be handy to use. There doesn't seem to be as many of them around as there used to be, ie when Wash and Go was first introduced.
