    22 Products To Take Care Of Color-Treated Hair

    Buh-bye, brass.

    1. A Celeb Luxury color depositing shampoo for anyone who would like to turn their ~Pinterest pastel~ dreams into reality (no expensive or time-consuming trips to the salon required). This actively hits the refresh button on color-treated hair that fades after just one wash, sparing you the heartbreak of feeling like you just wasted a ton of money for no reason. You just dyed it light blue! It shouldn't be bleach-blond after 1.5 days!

    2. An Olaplex treatment with a ~prime~ spot on Amazon's bestsellers list — and for good reason. Over 100,000 reviews (!) swear this product delivers intense repair for damaged strands, making it the ideal weekly treatment for folks who dye their hair frequently.

    3. A Paul Mitchell locking spray that ~locks in~ color and works as an indiscernible sunscreen for your hair — no weigh-down, no overwhelming scent, no hair-changing-color after being exposed to the sun.

    4. A cult-favorite Fanola purple shampoo to nip brassiness in the bud. The violent pigment in this formula works to wash away unwanted yellow in your 'do, meaning you can extend the time between salon visits meaning you can SAVE A TON OF MONEY. Easy + affordable? Someone pinch me.

    5. A Hask shampoo + conditioner duo to provide tresses with an extra layer of protection, using organic rose oil and peach extract to seal in color while also giving bounce, body, and shine. Want to be cast in a shampoo commercial? This is step one toward that royalty check.

    6. An ammonia- and peroxide-free L'Oreal Paris temporary spray for covering grays when your next salon visit isn't for a few months. Consider this the concealer of your haircare routine, using a lightweight formula to hide silver strands with no smudging or sticky residue required. What do we love? Quick fixes to all our annoying problems. And this is that quick fix.

    7. A vegan Malibu C treatment to prep your 'do for color application: Just leave this on for five minutes to remove color-blocking build-up, ~apply some dye~ within 24 hours, and voila! Your tresses are now a blank canvas that will allow for better color absorption and less fading after leaving the salon.

    8. A John Frieda brunette-enhancing glaze ideal for anyone trying to extend time between salon visits *or* anyone trying to nix salon visits all together. This weekly treatment focuses on maximizing shine for a mirror-like effect while bringing out your natural brown color.

    9. A curling rod headband that's been hyped by the TikTok masses for delivering flawless waves — no hot tools (or further damage to dyed hair) required. Simply wrap damp hair around the roller, fasten with the provided clip, and snooze the night away.

    10. An Olaplex No.7 bonding oil that's garnered over 30K reviews on Amazon. It does the following: nourishes and strengthens fried ends, minimizes frizz, adds weightless shine, and provides heat protection, aka it's the perfect thing to revitalize dyed hair in a pinch.

    11. A Hair Dance dry shampoo volume powder to vacuum up grease and extend the time between shampoos, which in turn extends the life of your color. Pro tip: If you add some into your roots before bed, you'll wake up with a completely refreshed scalp that looks like it was shampooed five minutes ago (...as opposed to five days ago).

    12. An argan oil Garnier leave-in conditioning cream because lack of moisture due to hair dye = excess breakage. This tames frizz, extends style, and promotes shine, plus it costs *less* than a cup of coffee.

    13. An Amika color-preserving shampoo that uses soybean oil, an amino acid blend, and betaine to not only nourish and cleanse your hair *without* stripping color, but it actually protects color from fading and keeps it looking as vibrant as it did the day you stepped out of your (very expensive) salon.

    14. A John Frieda blue shampoo and conditioner formulated to cut brassiness from cool brunette tones. Free of peroxide and ammonia, this duo helps prolong the time between salon visits *and* is especially wonderful for balayage styles.

    15. A super-absorbent Aquis hair towel designed with a microfiber construction that cuts drying time by up to half, sparing your color-treated hair from damage that extra time with your blow dryer would have caused. Plus, microfiber is a LOT more gentle than your average towel and thus helps to prevent breakage and any split-end apocalypses. Your hair was just bleached. It is fragile.

    16. A Frank Body scalp scrub because clarifying shampoo is great at getting rid of grease, but it'll also chase the color out of your hair faster than you can say ~ghosted~. This coffee, rosemary, eucalyptusx, and peppermint blend gets rid of the built-up gunk in your roots so that you don't feel greasy a mere three hours after exiting the shower. You'll feel squeaky clean! And your blond highlights will remain totally safe!

    17. An Aussie deep conditioner that requires only three minutes of your time — and in those three minutes, a jojoba and avocado oil blend will work in harmony to detangle and revive bleached hair.

    18. An HSI thermal spray to protect your 'do from all that dreadful hot tool heat damage; the bleach in your hair was damaging enough, and it's therefore extra important to provide a protective barrier between strands of hair and straight contact with a 150° curling iron. Extra kudos go to this argan oil formula for working to prevent frizz, add shine, and give some lightweight hydration.

    19. A Sun Bum leave-in spray that enlists the hydrating benefits of coconut and sunflower seed oil to give hair what it needs right this second: MOISTURE. Not only will this counteract the drying effects of sun and chlorine, but it even works as a de-tangler to help your brush glide right through each color-treated strand.

    20. Flexible curling rods that allow you to wake up with ready-to-go hair. These are pros at giving you the perfect waves without subjecting your color-treated 'do to any more heat damage, which I'm sure will have your burnt split-ends and weak upper arms crying tears of relief.

    21. A vegan and cruelty-free Ghost shampoo capable of cutting down on grease *without* being too harsh on your mane. A mix of moringa oil, quinoa protein, and sunflower seed extract works together to repair damage and strengthen your hair...all while stopping dryness and brassiness in their tracks.

    22. A shampoo brush to increase the effectiveness of your shampoo by helping clear away built-up product in your scalp — the kind that would lead to dullness and lack of body. This little silicone tool also works to stimulate your scalp and improve circulation, which can lead to speedier hair growth (something that becomes a bit more difficult after bleaching and dying your hair at least 95 times a year).
