Reasons Why Color Depositing Shampoo Is A Must Do

By Suzan K Bishop

You're part of the hair coloring sisterhood right? I know, who isn't? But is it me or does the color seem to fade too quickly? Not to mention all the time, hassle and expense of those never ending touch ups.

Okay so going to the salon every - you fill in the frequency - for coloring concerns is not only expensive it's also inconvenient. But what if there was someway to keep your hair color bright and alive without the hassle?

Well, your wish has just come true with color depositing shampoos that pretty much come in every shade of color you can imagine.

So what is this color depositing shampoo and how can it help you? Good question.

Color depositing (or color protecting) shampoo is formulated to keep your color treated hair from fading. I mean when you wash your color treated hair with regular shampoos you can't help but notice your color's gradually dimming, right? This is especially true for bright colors like red which seems to fade fastest.

Now to extend the life of your color and avoid annoying fade select a color depositing shampoo that best matches the color of your hair. This is a great way to extend the life of highlights, streaks or color treated hair as these shampoos are gentle so as to avoid stripping off any color.

Nothing special is involved. Just use it like you would any other shampoo.

Obviously any subtle color added to your hair is of course only temporary. Much like mixing temporary or semi permanent color with your regular shampoo. This product only deposits semi permanent color without opening the hair's cuticle and so won't damage your mane. Making such products safe for your hair.

Also when looking at which brand to go with some would suggest sticking with those found on the shelves at your hair dresser's salon. They are better quality and may last longer too. The trade off is a higher price tag but your hair may come off better for it.

With all the advantages are there any drawbacks? Well, as you'd expect like all products these too have their limitations.

Okay well guess I should alert you that some color depositing come up short in the lather department. But that doesn't mean it's not cleaning however.

Clearly such products can't remedy a bad color job. Pretty much nothing but lots of money can help there.

You'll want to take care when it comes to shower enclosures, tubs and towels too. As with any coloring product you can end up with stains where you don't want them.

If your hair is chemically straightened, damaged or permed then your hair will tend to pick more color than hair not so treated.

All you need do is study the color selection charts carefully before buying any such product.

One final trick is you might want to mix this with your favorite shampoo if you've got light colored locks or are only dealing with highlights. Some girls report this is a better way to go in that case.

Then too, as an alternative you might use a clear glaze to keep your color looking fresher longer. Not to mention what such glazes will do for the shine too.

For sure you now have an option when it comes to maintaining that fresh new color you're so proud of, right? - 30305
