Pureology Shampoo : Potent Antioxidants and Sunscreens

Pureology Hydrate Shampoo is an essential for color treated hair. This advanced formula is free of any nasty carcinogenic color stripping sulfates. This high lather, quick rinse, exceptionally mild luxury formula preserves and protects hair while it wraps you in an indulgent aromatherapy fragrance experience.

what first sold me on Pureology products was the scent. I was having my hair styled, and the stylist used the product to wash my hair. It just smelled so clean and fresh that I was knocked over by sheer bliss! Then came the tingling, cooling, refreshing sensation spreading over my scalp. When my hair was finished being washed, it... well... felt CLEAN. It's a tough thing to describe, this feeling of "clean" because I had never really felt as though my hair was "unclean" after having washed it with other hair products, however, this was much different. My hair felt lighter and softer - even while it was still wet!

Naturally, because I was in a salon, I expected the shampoo to be pricey - and I wasn't at all wrong! But I felt like splurging, so I bought first the 10oz bottle, which was used by two people and still managed to last for almost 6 months. Why? Well because this shampoo is so concentrated that you honestly need to only use an amount about the size of a nickel - and that's for long hair!

The conditioner didn't disappoint one iota, either. The same fresh feeling and clean scent dazzled me over that first six months and I felt my anxiety rise as the amount in the bottle became less and less.

Fortunately, our next purchase of this shampoo was at an outlet store, so we got some pretty impressive savings on the BIG bottle - the 33.8oz as shown here, I believe. That has lasted us well over a year, again with two people using it. We're starting to run out, but we've still got enough to probably last another month or so.

Now to kind of put this into a frame of reference... I am kind of a cheapskate. (If by "kind of" you mean "definitely".) I've used Suave salon knock-off products because they fit in my target price-range. I've refused to buy Pantene in the past because it was too expensive. For me to shell out this kind of money on shampoo is unheard-of, and if my poor mother only knew, she'd probably faint.

That said... I firmly believe it's worth every single penny.

My hair has never been more manageable or healthy. I tend to have what I refer to as "NASCAR hair" - meaning it gets bumps and ridges instead of any actual curl, and then those bumps and ridges separate out into entirely unattractive frizz-tastic flyaway split ends and generally projects this messy halo effect. With Pureology, I look infinitely more poised, polished, and presentable - no small feat!

As an added bonus, I discovered in the shower one day that these products are vegan *and* not tested on animals! (Come on, you know you read in the shower too - I'm not a weirdo...)

If you're at all reluctant about buying this shampoo, see if you can get your hands on some samples from somewhere. You're just not going to believe how awesome this stuff is until you use it. And you *should* use it.

Customer Reviews

Great product, try it first though
Personally, I love it. I have coarse/color-processed, straight, shoulder length hair and I just use a pea sized amount on towel dried hair just before I blow dry/flat iron...and it leaves my hair soft and smooth. I use a touch more on my daughter's thick waist length hair with similar results. I'm glad my salon suggested it. The Amazon price is $11 less than what my salon was selling it for so it's also a pretty decent deal.

However, it's still a small investment even at the $27 price point and I can see how there would be people who have fine hair who might find it too heavy of a product and the smell is pretty heady (the reviewer who said it was musky is correct, with a warm spicy undertone) so I suggest if your salon sells it to ask them for a sample just to try it out first before you buy.

Amazing Product for Girls w/ Curls!!!
Great product! A1 Seller! Had it in 3 days!
My hair dresser shared this product with me the last time I was in and I could not believe the results. She used it and then gave me a sample to try. All I can say is "AMAZING!" I have fought with my hair for 25 + years and always dreamed of having smooth shiny hair like everyone else. But I always had coarse, unruly, frizzy hair. A good flat iron helped a good bit, but still it would eventualy frizz, even with humidity protectants and sprays. This stuff is so simple, but works perfectly. No fuzz or frizz, not greasy at all. All you need is a few drops, so it will last a long time. Hair dries super fast. It's super slippery & shiny with no residue. And you can use your usual styling products with it if you like. I can not believe the results. I highly recommend this and the Hair Mask that goes with it to use in the shower. I would like to try the Intense Curl Creme because there are time when I like a little curl, but under control.

Just as described
This product is just as described. Without making your hair greasy, it makes it very soft and manageable. My hair has been processed for 20 years and has been damaged a lot. I can't say it is a hundred percent better. But, I noticed even on the first day a BIG difference in my hair. Definitely will continue to use and will buy again.

Knowing which styling products to use for a particular hair type

Knowing which styling products to use for a particular hair type can make a big difference in how hair looks and feels. Each person is different, and that means that their hair is also different. If a person can get a product that works well on their hair type they should stick with that product or some version thereof. In other words, if you cannot afford the most expensive hair product that you need, try getting a less expensive version of the same thing. Brand names are important, but there are also some less expensive brands that work very well for someone on a budget who still wants to take care of his or her hair. This is important to remember. It is better to buy the less expensive brand of the product that you really need than it is to buy a different type of product entirely. Just because mousse worked well on your hair does not mean that gel will. Just because your friend likes her leave-in conditioner does not mean that it is the right product for you. Taking the time to find out what you need can go a long way toward your hair care.

The texture of the hair that a person has makes a difference in what kind of styling products that person should use. If you have hair that is very fine and flies away easily, you will want to use different products than someone who has very thick, heavy hair. The same is true of someone with curly hair versus someone with straight hair. No matter what your needs are, though, there are options for you when it comes to styling products. There are also good products that you can afford, no matter what your budget is. Even people on fixed incomes can find items that are very inexpensive and that still work well for them. Individuals do not have to go broke to style their hair the way that they want to. In the past there were fewer options for women, and many years ago they washed their hair very infrequently and then forced it to stay in place with whatever would hold it. Now, of course, most people wash their hair once a week or more. A lot of them wash it once a day.

Styling products can include mousses and gels, but there are also hair sprays and many other items. Not everyone is sure what all of these products do. Some of these same individuals are also not sure which products they might need. Asking a hair stylist is a good way to get some answers. In addition, there are people who sell quality hair care products. These people can also help provide information that will help you make a choice as to what styling product you want to use. By asking around, reading labels, and paying attention to sales, you can get the styling products that you need at a price you can afford. This will help your hair improve if it is damaged and keep it strong and healthy if it is already in good condition.
