I wanna decent colour shampoo, any recommendations?

I've taken to dying my hair with quite an intense red, which I really like however it fades so fast.

I'm washing it in lukewarm water as this is supposed to prevent as much hair colour loss. I keep seeing loads of different colour shampoos and accessories but obviously would prefer to use one that someone can recommend so that I don't end up buying loads of different things.

Can anyone help?

I have used the red Elvive for ages, it isn't too expensive and it definitely prolongs the colour in my hair, I just have highlights not intense colour but I like it.

thanks nearlyrich, is it shampoo and conditioner? or is it a prolonger type thing?

I just use the shampoo cos conditioner makes my hair really flyaway, you can get a conditioner and other styling products in the range

The one I buy is Ultra Violet Filter Colour Protect Shampoo, it's often on 3 for 2 at Boots or on special at Tesco, I have a stash in my airing cupboard from just before they updated the packaging when they were very cheap ion Tesco.

My sister works for Salon Services and she advised me to try Osmo Essence Colour Mission Shampoo and Conditioner. It is free from sulphate and salt which to a novice like me apparently means that it won't make your colour fade. I have been really impressed with it.

thanks liz19, where sells it?

If you have a Salon Services locally you can buy it from them or online at https://www.salon-services.com they sell to individuals and not just hairdressers. It is also available at https://www.hairproductsonline.co.uk. It is between £7 and £8 a bottle but you only use a little bit so it does last quite well. I am lucky as my sister gets mine for me.

Sunsilk now have a range for coloured hair, I use the blond one & it's fab, they also do it for 'reds' & brunettes.They also make a leave in conditioner :j

It was on offer in Tesco, buy 1 get 1 free....bargain.

Wilkinson have the Sunsilk BOGOF & Timotei, also, £1.89 ish I think.

Looks like the ranges each have coloured varients to suit your hair colour.

Me, a bloke, too!!
