What To Look For

Color-treated hair fades easily in the sunlight. Shampoo with sunscreen helps protect your hair from the sun. In addition, color-treated hair is often damaged from the chemicals in hair dye. Panthenol, soy, sunflower and almond oil repair damaged hair, giving it a smooth, sleek and healthy appearance.

Common Pitfalls

Many shoppers think that buying expensive shampoos that simply claim to maintain color and repair damage in color-treated hair is enough. There are many affordable shampoos that contain sunscreen, panthenol and soy, sunflower or almond oil that work just as well as more expensive shampoos. As long as the shampoo has the necessary ingredients, the cost does not matter.

Where To Buy

Most grocery stores, supermarkets and pharmacies carry affordable shampoos for color-treated hair. High-end salons and department stores may carry more expensive shampoos for color-treated hair as well. You can also find shampoo online on websites such as Amazon.com; however, these shampoos, even if affordable, may be slightly more expensive because of associated shipping fees.

Cost

Shampoos for color-treated hair can cost anywhere from a few dollars to more than $60, depending on the brand you buy. Additionally, if you choose to purchase a shampoo online, you may have to pay associated shipping costs as well as handling and tax.
