Hi Suzanne,The Aveda "color" shampoos like Chamomile and Blue Malva and Black Malva are a lot more drying than the Shampure shampoo. The herbs and ingredients tend to dry the hair. The color change often takes a few times of regular use to "take". I know that I can not use the Chamomile or Blue Malva every day because it will dry my hair. The color change I get is more the effect of brightening rather than a real obvious change. My hair seems to be just overall brighter.I have also found ARTec's Lemon Flower to be even more drying than the Aveda Chamomile, so I have given up on their color shampoos and am sticking with the more moisturizing KIWI and Smoothing shampoos.If your hair is naturally dry, use the Aveda color shampoos only 1 or 2x a week. This will give you only subtle hair color changes though. But it will keep your hair from getting too dry.Keep us posted on your results.Thanks,Karen> I've read so many GOOD things about Aveda's> Curressence that it makes me want to try it.> I did buy the Chamoile Color Conditioner> - and I must admit that I didn't think it added> much moisture or color refreshment to me hair.> I was going to buy the Deep Penetrating Conditioner,> but the sales lady said they were both so similar........so> I just bought the Color Conditioner.> So, how does Curressence stack up against> the Deep Penetrating?
