What kind of hair products are specifically designed to protect color-treated hair?

Color-safe shampoos are specifically formulated to protect color-treated hair by containing milder cleansing agents that do not strip away the color pigments. These shampoos often have a balanced pH that helps maintain the vibrancy and longevity of the hair color while minimizing fading. They are designed to enhance color retention and provide essential nutrients that keep color-treated hair healthy and manageable.

Other products, such as moisturizers, styling gels, and hair oils, may offer benefits for hair health, styling, or moisture retention, but they are not specifically designed for the unique needs of color-treated hair. Moisturizers typically provide hydration, styling gels focus on hold and definition, and hair oils are aimed at adding shine and reducing frizz. None of these products target the protection and maintenance of hair color as effectively as color-safe shampoos do.
