Best drugstore shampoo for color treated hair

The first thing a consumer wants to know is, "Does it work?" For many folks, buying drugstore shampoo at the salon is a huge luxury at a cost they can't justify. We've all had the experience of visiting a friend who had "the good stuff" in her shower, and chances are good that you snuck a drop or two. And you may or might not have noticed any difference. Many variables are at play here, namely your hair and your water. Your hair's texture and condition affect how the shampoo's ingredients perform, and so does the water you use to rinse the shampoo. Hard water with lots of minerals doesn't rinse as easily as soft water and leaves substances in your hair that affects how it feels and holds a style. The best thing to do is experiment. Ask your stylist if she has samples you can try, and compare how they perform against your favorite bargain brand shampoo.
