The Living Proof Shampoo is safe and gentle for color treated hair.

The product labeling indicates it is sulfate free and safe for hair that has color, however every person is different. Maybe small sample that you can test on a portion of your hair to see if any color is removed would be the best way to go.

I am a brunette who enhances her hair with color and have found that Living Proof does not strip the color and states it is safe for color treated hair (as its sulfate free). If you are super concerned about lightening, might I recommend a shower head filter? You can get one at a major hardware store (the big ones) and it installs pretty easily. I live in a city with very chlorinated water and this has helped keep my color bright.

I agree, all shampoos will eventually fade color, but this one gives me better results than I've had with others, and leaves a really nice shine. I use it daily.

I don't have dark brown hair, but I have not noticed it dulling my color. It has no sulfates and I try to stay away from shampoos that have those because they do seem to dull my hair color.

I've been using all the products on my color-treated hair and the color actually lasted longer than usual. I'm very pleased with the results.

I have to color my hair as my roots are becoming gray, and the rest of my hair (red) has been "fading" as I've gone through "the change". I have found all the LIving Proof products to be very gentle with my hair, and it doesn't appear to strip or "oxidize" my red hair. I imagine that a rich brown color would be pretty much the same. The major offender, is the SUN! I like to cover my hair with a hat or baseball cap when I'm at the beach or somewhere the sun is intense.

I think the trick is to get a product that specifically won't fade your color. I don't think this shampoo keeps the color any more than any other shampoo for color treated hair. If you really want something to keep your color, I would recommend pureology.

I have dark brown treated hair and I do not think that this line strips color. Sulfates are the big offender and this product is free of them

I also have very dark almost black color hair and have used this for almost 3 weeks and no problem. My hair color is natural. If you have color or treated hair I can not help you.

Well this shampoo is said to be approved for all hair types. I personally have color treated hair and it did not affect the color.

I can't say for sure, but I would recommend purchasing the travel sizes and try alternating you use of your dandruff shampoo with this product. My scalp is very easily irritated, but the Living Proof products have not caused me any scalp irritation whatsoever. My scalp is oily and gets little itchy spots, but both issues have gone away since I've started using it.

I just posted my comments on the shampoo and the rest of the Full line. I wouldn't recommend using it if you already have dry scalp. I have used it for a week (with no prior issues with dry scalp), and now I have huge flakes and a dry, itchy scalp. If you decide to use it, I would use it a few times a week and go from there.

If you have fine DRY hair don't buy this. I would try another shampoo for fine hair. WEN Lavender cleansing or COLURE for chemically treated hair. I have a lot of fine hair. never really looks dull or flat, but this shampoo dried my hair out.

I would try this shampoo it"s sooooo gentle and moisurizing

You might have dry scalp. The skin on your head is like your face. If your not using a quality healing conditioner because you have limp hair and your afraid to weigh it down-you need to treat it. I would try using this shampoo and conditioner-with a scalp treatment. This does not way your hair down and it's full of quality.

I don't believe it will help with dandruff, but you could try interspersing. I felt the product made my fine hair flyaway, but not flat at least. I bought the conditioner too. Did not feel it did enough to help with tangles.

I would use both. I use a hair stimulator one wash and the second with Full Shampoo.

My hubby uses tea tree oil shampoo for dandruff/eczema on scalp. He does his second wash with this, or just uses the styling cream

I wouldn't be surprised if it helped. It is sulfate free and a lot of dandruff comes because of scalp irritants and this is such a gentle shampoo...It's definitely worth a try

I wouldn't recommend it for treating dandruff only because it doesn't have any agents in it that would soothe your scalp like a normal dandruff shampoo would.

Yes, it is, based on the fact that it's sulfate free and that this is also stated on the product bottles.

Yes, absolutely! I've had great results with this line of products, and now use this brand almost exclusively. Give these products at least a week of use before you judge results.

I've been using the products on my color-treated hair and the color actually lasted longer. However, I can't answer the part about the perm.

Sulfate-free shampoos are the BEST to use on colored hair, so this stuff works great!

I have colored treated hair and it worked very well for me.

Yes, they are said to be safe on color treated hair.

Yes, the shampoo is sulfate -free which I guess is the main culprit in stripping hair color. I have tried many shampoos and many of them strip color within a week of use! This does not. My hair color lasts a little closer to the recommended touch-up time of 4 - 6 weeks.

I have very fine, frizzy, color-treated hair, and I think all the Living Proof products for washing, conditioning, full thickening cream, and the No Frizz styling products work great. I feel secure using them!

My hair is highlighted light blond and this shampoo does not strip the color from my hair. I think it actually enhances the way the color look and how long it lasts b/c it is not as harsh as most shampoos.

Don't think that they do. SO far so good with my experience so far with product line

Not sure why you cannot order it online but hope Sephora stocks it for you soon!

I don"t know

Have your store order from the Springfield MO location.. They should be able to have it to you within a couple of days. I can't imagine having to use anything else on my hair now, so good luck.

Sorry, I can't help you with that one! I order the products online. Not living in your neck of the woods (I'm in SoCal) I can't heolp you. Sorry! (But I would, if you could, use a computer at the library, at work, or a friend's, to order online. Delivery is fast and usually with free "goodies"

Yes, most definitely.

Yes. It's sulfate-free, which is the #1 thing to look for in shampoo for color-treated hair. I've been using it ever since I dyed my hair and my color has stayed nicely.

Yes, this shampoo is sulfate-free if that's what you're wondering.

My husband uses this and he's equal parts salt & pepper. He doesn't have any issues with it affecting his coloring.

noooooo!!! Do not recommand for curly or wavy hair. Gives no volume and no bounde at all
