Choosing shampoo for colour-treated hair in Canada starts with your scalp, hair condition, dye history and desired shade. No single shampoo prevents all fading or suits every colour service.
What to Look For
| Consideration | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Scalp cleansing | Choose a formula appropriate for oil and wash frequency |
| Colour-care directions | Check whether the product is intended for your type of colour |
| Hair condition | Lightened lengths may need additional conditioning |
| Heat and styling | Avoid repeated excess heat and rough handling |

How to Build Your Routine
- Wash when your scalp needs cleansing, not according to a rigid schedule.
- Apply conditioner according to product directions and hair condition.
- Use pigmented products only if appropriate for the colour you want to maintain.
- Reduce excessive heat, brushing tension and unnecessary chemical stress.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does colour-safe shampoo prevent all fading?
No. Longevity depends on colour type, hair condition, washing, sunlight and other factors.
Should I wash less often after colouring?
Follow your stylist's immediate aftercare guidance and choose ongoing frequency according to scalp needs.
Does purple shampoo suit every coloured style?
No. Pigmented shampoos have specific colour-correction purposes and can alter tone if misused.
Can shampoo repair chemically damaged hair permanently?
No. Conditioning may improve the cosmetic feel but cannot permanently rejoin split fibres.
