I dyed my hair a dark blonde/light brown this winter to match my roots because i was sick of dealing with the upkeep :) it still looks good, but lacks SOMETHING...
SO my question is: if I went and bought some of those color "enhancing" shampoos, do you think they`d work on my already color-treated hair? (I`m not even looking for a semipermanent haircolor at this point... maybe in the spring, but this is just for the time being :))
Thanks!

color enhancing shampoos and conditioners deposit color to lengthen time between touch ups....does that help?

i used some for blondes before i started coloring my hair to keep my natural blonde and highlights bright....now i am a redhead so i will be switching to the color enhancing for reds.
Hair type: fine but thick; natural blonde with 15% grey

Redken and Paul Mitchell also have a red color shampoo but I am not sure of the shades.

Hope that helps.

Are these shampoos non-damaging to the hair? They sound very interesting. Do they actually work?

I am testing the Mine Fire right now.

I was very disappointed when my EP moisturizing shampoo (which I thought would be a good thing) started lathering up bright pink in the shower and stripped my color. I was using Head and Shoulders for Dry Scalp and my color did fade a bit, but I had also been using it since day 1 of color. I used EP two weeks after I had colored. It`s an EP addiction....well, the remaining EP went in the trash and I now have Mine Fire.

I am going to recolor my hair today or tomorrow and see how it works at keeping my color bright and as gorgeous as the day I colored it. We shall see!! :)
