A "color thief" in a nice package? 💆🏼♀️🕵🏽♀️
As an aspiring makeup stylist, I've started to take a closer look at what my favorite products actually contain. I've loved this shampoo for its scent and shine, but now I understand why my brown color (which has bleached hair underneath) fades so quickly. Analysis: The main ingredient is Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). As we learn in training, sulfates are effective at dissolving oils and dirt, but they also open up the hair strand's cuticle. For porous, colored hair, this means the color pigments literally get washed out from the inside. Are sulfates always bad? No, absolutely not! They are great as a 'Clarifying Shampoo' when you need a thorough cleaning of styling residues or have a very oily scalp. But as a daily shampoo to 'preserve color' (as the name Color Vive suggests), it works less well. The shine you experience mainly comes from silicones (Dimethicone) that form a coating on the outside, which 'masks' the fact that the pigments are actually disappearing. Pros: Gives incredible shine and scent. Good pH balance with citric acid (but the sulfate dominates here). Affordable for uncolored hair. Cons: - Too harsh for bleached/colored lengths. - Makes cool/brown tones dull quickly. My tip: Have you spent money on a nice salon color? Invest in a sulfate-free line or a professional shampoo like Metal DX or Vitamino Color instead. Save this one for the times you really need a deep cleanse! #lykosocial #hårvård #beautynerd #makeupstylist #ingrediensnörd #colorvive #hårvårdstips #sulfatfritt #färgathår #beautycommunity #recension #hårrutin1 product in post A "color thief" in a nice package? 💆🏼♀️🕵🏽♀️69 views
