Decent shampoo for (dyed) red hair

6 replies

Hello there, I'm after recommendations for some good but not massively expensive shampoo and conditioner for my coloured red hair. I try to leave 3 days between washing but it's usually every other day. This is good as I was a wash every day girl since my teens. I find a few weeks after it's coloured it starts looking flyaway and frizzy. I try not to straighten it every day, use a protection spray and don't have my straighteners on the highest setting. My hairdresser said it's better to use a mask rather that worry over the shampoo. Looking for something no more than £10. Thanks

Redken shampoos are slightly above your budget. The 1 L bottle, so roughly 2 - 3 bottles equivalent of shampoo , is £ 30 , but the difference is astonishing.
They also last longer because you use less than supermarket shampoos.
I have very long dyed hair, with great texture, not dry or brittle.

When it comes to haircare, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
Have a look at the Redken range.

I like L'Oréal Elvive for coloured hair

I also have dyed red hair and I am prone to dryness. I agree about the need for a good hair masque but only use on my mid lengths and ends as otherwise my roots would be greasy. Love the body shop banana hair masque and it smells amazing. £12 maybe £14 now for it. Wee bit spendy but worth it. The garnier banana one is a decent dupe for it.
Also been using the Maui range recently and loving it

Thank you. Appreciate the advice. Look fantastic have a bit of a deal on redkin. Hairdressers sells Sebastian so was thinking of buying them but wanted to try something mid range first. I think if it keeps my colour nicer it's an investment surely lol

Tried elvive but it did nothing for my colour. There's a John Frieda one which was good but it made me have a rash

And the masque I get from the hairdresser I think it's L'Oréal but she mixes my dye in
