## Description

desertcart.com : ion Color Defense SulfateFree Shampoo, Protection for Color Treated Hair : Standard Hair Shampoos : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: Best shampoo for colored hair. - I love this shampoo. It is very gentle on color treated hair without stripping it. Due to it being sulfate free, it doesn't make a lot of suds. If you like alot of suds you can use more. My hair feels so clean and does not leave an oily residue.
Review: Better than expensive salon shampoos - Edited 2-22-2015 I am still using this brand of shampoo and conditioner, but have switched to the brown label. It truly is an amazing product line. Any one of the Ion product line is well worth the money. (Original Post 11-14-2011) I am on my 3rd month of using this shampoo. I have thick, slightly wavy, and somewhat coarse hair that can be frizzy. My hair is also about 15-20% grey. This shampoo and conditioner have been great. My hair is soft, shiny, and healthy looking with body even after coloring it. I do still have to use some heat (flat iron) to straighten the frizzes on very humid days, but nothing like prior to using this product. I also use the semi-permanent color by the same company (reviewing it soon). I have not used the items separately to see if I get the same results, but the combination has been beyond my expectations. Where other expensive salon shampoos and conditoners have failed, this has excelled. It smells great too. (Update: 4-21-2014) After using this product for over a year, it stopped working as well. It also became more difficult to pump; I'm guessing the formula was changed to be thicker. I have since switched to Ion Keratin Smoothing Shampoo and the Conditioner. It works very well by itself, but I still needed a little something extra to get completely smooth hair. I've added Aquage Straightening Ultragel to my regemine and this combination seems to be perfect for frizz free hair.
