Shielo shampoo locks in my color so well that i never have to do any touch ups during the month. it gets rid of build up and leaves it soft and shiny.

I would recommend their Shielo Color Protect Line to any one with color treated hair, but if you also have DRY hair, you can use their Shielo HYDRATE line which also protects color treated hair, but also adds a touch of moisture if you need it. Amaze!

I have red hair and as you know that is the toughest color to maintain. But Shielo shampoo helps protect it from the sun the wind and any other element’s. A little goes a long way. A 1 liter bottle will last me a good 6 months.

If your an animal lover you will happy to know that Shielo is also cruelty free.

[...] I found a website called TheBeautyBrains.com that looks at the scientific recipes for beauty products. It says the only shampoo products that have shown some color protection are Tresemme and L’Oreal Colorvive shampoos. Beauty Brains goes on to say that from a conditioner standpoint, there are no standard rinse conditioners that help protect your color and your best bet is to use a leave-in conditioner spray. This will allow you to get the benefit from the conditioning agents without the negative effects of rinse water.

Nope. Color treated shampoos are not formulated to have lower pHs. Incidentally, the pH range of shampoos is typically from 5.0 – 7.0.

Lower pH has not been shown to be a significant factor in color loss. The notion of a pH balanced shampoo is actually just marketing gobbley gook. Once the shampoo is put on your head and exposed to shower water, the pH differences all but disappear. You can confirm this for yourself. Take two different shampoos. Dilute them with water and take a pH reading. They’ll both be pretty close to neutral pH (7.0).

Is it true that shampoos for color treated hair are with low pH and that’s the way to keep the color from fading?
