Have you colored your natural hair and noticed that the original hue just doesn’t last as long as you would like it to? Are you finding yourself taking more frequent trips to the salon? Is your hair becoming more fragile and damaged with every touch up? Though color processed damage is sometimes inevitable, a reevaluation of your current hair products may be necessary. Many of them are not designed to protect or preserve dyed or bleached hair. The following product lines are not only effective, but easily accessible and can be found at your favorite grocery or beauty stores.

This line is intended for those who want intense, healthy-looking definition without that weighed down “wet dog” look. Packed with the benefits of Biotin, fruit extracts, seed oils, and no silicones, the products in the SheaMoisture SuperFruit line are gentle enough for color-treated hair while providing ultra nourishment to the scalp and hair.
Ouidad Color Sense
available in Ulta
The Ouidad Color Sense products use Beta-Carotene and Lycopene broad-spectrum plant-based sun filters to provide a protective coating around colored curly hair. They keep color from fading, especially in the sunlight, and provide an extra boost of healthier looking shine with antioxidants from fruit extracts and vegetable protein.Goldwell Dual Senses Color

Carol’s Daughter Tui Color Care
