I notice you are currently a blonde. I have been there. I went a little darker because my roots are not so blonde. When I have been blonde though I have to say that I have loved Bed Head Dumb Blonde shampoo and conditioner. When I used those products I didn't have to touch up roots or color nearly as often. And the conditioner is protein packed for hair damaged from coloring. Really helps moisturize the hair as well as protect.

I got a bunch of blond highlights put in and afterwards my hair felt a little yucky. Obviously it was in need of some repair!
I bought this after a little asking around and have to say I am quite pleased with it. It re-hydrated my hair and it feels healthy again.
I am very pleased with the results.
Smells yummy too.

I think this is a great deal on a really nice shampoo.
My hair is destroyed from coloring, so I need a great hydrating shampoo that i can really count on.
It hydrates, it lathers well, it smells good, and it's not ridiculously expensive.
I am a happy customer... on my second bottle!

My sister would kill me if she found out I was using store bought shampoo and conditioner but recently a friend told me that this shampoo for color treated hair was great so I gave it a try. It seems to be doing a bang up job on my color keeping it looking new still and it leaves my hair soft and manageable all day long. I really like it a lot. I did a home color recently too and even though reviewers said that the color from the Clairol Nice and Easy Foam only lasted 4-6 weeks, mine has lasted over 6 weeks and I'm wondering if it's due to the shampoo and conditioner. So far that's what I'm attributing it to. Love the stuff.

I love Pureology. My sister turned me onto it. I've used a few of the different kinds but this one for color treated hair is great. My hair always feels so clean. The smell for this one isn't that bad. I've used the straight hair kind and that one has a smell that reminds me of terrible floral scented bathrooms. Lol. Not so pleasant for me.

I use Purology, too. It's awesome. I use the kind in the little lavender container...it's a more concentrated formula with an anti-fade complex. It works amazingly well.
