FOUR REASONS Hair Color Shampoo (8 Colors) - Sulfate Free Pink Hair Toner - Color Depositing Shampoo for Color Treated Hair, Vegan, 8.45 Fl Oz (Rose/Pink)

I have a sensitive scalp, so I need a shampoo that doesn't have sulfates. I am new to this brand and first purchased the Rose Gold Shampoo and Conditioning Mask in the same color. I decided to come back and get the Pearl. I am a retired hairdresser and absolutely love this brand. First, the shampoo. If your hair is dry, or bleached, first you shampoo your hair with a Dr. Bronner liquid soap. This gets rid of any buildup of products. Then use the color shampoo and leave it on the whole time you shower, then rinse and use a normal conditioner. The shampoo has way more staining power in 10 minutes than the Mask does in 30 minutes. People are trying to tone their hair leaving on the mask, it's the shampoo you want, the mask is light in staining power but great in conditioning. The mask is absolutely awesome and I would use this in a neutral or same color, once a week at least, makes your hair feel fantastic. The color is really much more intense in the shampoo. If you're hair is in pretty good shape and not dry you may or may not get much color. It clings to your dryer spots. The shampoo washes out in a couple shampoos. It's fun to try and see what the different tones will do to your hair. You can also mix a little of the Pearl (which is a purple tone to get rid of some yellow, not brass) mix it with some basic shampoo to get a little tone, great for gray hair. If you are trying to cut brass after a bleach, use a real toner and then use these for maintenance. You can mix any of the shampoo colors too and dilute them as needed. I have colored light blonde in warm tones which is what I like and it was getting a little yellow, used this and softens it so it's a little more sandy blonde, still warm as I like. Very happy with these products, might try some of their other products.

It is a slight toning shampoo, if you want to have a considerable toning effect you need to also get a mask by the same brand. The shampoo itself is ok, I have neither positive nor negative comments. It cleanses and does it’s function.

I have used Four Reasons products before and have liked them. While this is a nice color shampoo, I do prefer color conditioners.My granddaughter tried it for the ends of her hair that are still light from some previous bleaching to add blue to her hair and then going back to brown that had faded out a bit (she wanted her ends to match the top part of her natural hair growth)-it didn't do much, but perhaps she needs to leave it in longer, which is more difficult with shampoos as they can be drying. That's the main problem with color shampoos - if you need to leave them in for a longer time, it's not so good for your hair, especially if the ends are damaged from a previous bleaching, as hers are.I used it on my baby fine natural hair and it did add a tiny bit of richness to the color but this isn't formulated for non-colored hair so it really didn't do much there either.I just used Dhue color conditioner and it made my hair look amazing and rich and shiny. It's for natural hair or color-treated hair, which I like. I'll stick to that.So, while Four Reasons makes some good haircare products, this one isn't quite right for what I or my granddaughter need.

I use this to maintain the pink in my hair. It’s less strong than the pink shampoo which is good so it doesn’t mess up what the salon did. I use it every 3 days and otherwise use purple shampoo to maintain the color. Sometimes I feel like it doesn’t lather so well so I mix with other shampoo but I make sure to mix well so I don’t end up with uneven hair color. Already bought another!

Great selection of Colors, Easy applicatrions....
