Hair Color & Dimension

The best shampoo for color-treated hair is the one that's formulated to protect and preserve color while caring for hair. Aveda offers a range of shampoos specifically for color-treated hair, including color control shampoo, a sulfate cleanser-free, 100% vegan formula that gently cleanses without stripping and nourishes hair with omega-rich apricot oil. Keep that Aveda color looking its best!

If you’re blonde, platinum or silver, Aveda's blonde revival™ purple toning shampoo and toning conditioner include violet toning pigments that neutralize unwanted brassy or yellow tones to keep lighter hair looking shiny and bright. Aveda's blonde revival™ purple toning shampoo and toning conditioner are made with açai and passionfruit oils to help keep color-treated hair soft and hydrated.

When should you wash hair after coloring? You may have heard that waiting a few days to wash helps prevent color from fading, but that’s not quite the full story. It's not about when you wash your hair, but how. The products you use and the temperature of the water can impact your color vibrancy and resiliency. Rinse your hair in cool water, not hot; hot water opens the hair follicle and allows color to wash out, so it's best for people with color-treated hair to avoid washing their hair with scorching hot water.

Products matter too; you should use a specially formulated shampoo, like blonde revival™ purple toning shampoo for blonde hair colors or color control rich shampoo for color-treated hair, that is free from sulfate cleansers and silicones to reduce fading and dullness. If you’re looking to extend time between washes, dry shampoo keeps your hair looking and feeling fresh without the water.
