# Shampoo for Color-Treated Hair > Gentle, mineral-rich Dead Sea shampoos for colored and chemically-treated hair that cleanse without stripping. Choosing a shampoo for color-treated hair usually comes down to one question: does the formula cleanse gently without stripping out the color and moisture your hair needs? Dead Sea mineral shampoos tend to be built around softer cleansing bases with added conditioning agents like keratin, argan oil, or biotin, which can help color-treated strands feel less stripped after washing. Below is an honest look at the shampoos in Ashury's hair care range, matched to what each one actually does. ## What to Look for in a Shampoo for Color-Treated Hair Color-treated hair tends to be more porous and prone to dryness than untreated hair, so a gentler cleansing formula generally beats a heavy-duty clarifying shampoo. Ingredients like keratin, argan oil, and hemp oil show up often in formulas aimed at dry or chemically treated hair, since they support softness and shine without over-cleansing the scalp. ## Keratin-Based Shampoos for Color-Treated Hair Keratin is one of the more common ingredients paired with color-treated hair, since these formulas are typically built with dry or damaged strands in mind. The **Sea of Spa – Keratin Shampoo – 250 ml** ($14) is formulated specifically for hair that's dry, damaged, or color-treated, aiming to cleanse gently while supporting the hair's own strength, and it's fine for daily use. The **BIOSPA Keratin & Macadamia Shampoo** ($10) takes a similar approach in a 400 ml bottle, combining keratin with macadamia oil for dry, damaged, or color-treated hair. If you'd rather test the formula first with a travel-friendly size, the **Keratin & Macadamia Shampoo – 30 ml** ($51) offers the same keratin-and-macadamia combination in a salt-free formula, and it's specifically noted as suited to hair recovering from straightening or heat styling, which often overlaps with color treatment. ## Argan and Hemp Oil Options Plant oils like argan and hemp offer another route to gentler cleansing for color-treated hair, since they're generally meant to add softness and shine rather than deep-strip the scalp. The **CANNABIO Shampoo with Hemp Oil and Argan Oil – 400 ml** ($14) features both oils in a formula that cleanses gently while promoting a look of softness, vitality, and shine, which makes it a reasonable pick if you'd rather skip heavier keratin-forward formulas. ## Richer Formulas for Thin or Very Dry Colored Hair If color treatment has left your hair feeling thin or noticeably dry, a richer formula with added actives may work better for you than a standard cleansing shampoo. The **La Pearl Shampoo with Biotin, Castor Oil & Collagen (750 ml)** ($68) is built for thin, dry hair, combining biotin, castor oil, and collagen and aiming for a healthier overall look. It's a larger-format, higher-investment option, so it fits people who've already settled into a routine more than those just testing the waters. ## Being Honest About Fit: Not Every Shampoo Here Targets Color Not every shampoo in this feed is explicitly built with color-treated hair in mind, and it's worth saying that plainly. The **Mint and Tea Tree Shampoo** ($38) combines Dead Sea minerals with tea tree, mint, and aloe, and it aims to moisturize the scalp for soft, shiny, full-looking hair. It's a solid general-purpose, scalp-focused shampoo, but its description doesn't specifically call out color-treated hair, so it suits people prioritizing scalp comfort more than color-specific cleansing. The **Bio Spa Enriched Shampoo with Dead Sea Minerals** ($6) is much the same story, a nourishing, budget-friendly option built with Dead Sea minerals and plant extracts, aiming to cleanse thoroughly and leave hair soft and flexible. It's a perfectly fine everyday shampoo, but if color protection is your main priority, the keratin or argan-and-hemp formulas above are the more targeted pick. ## How to Choose Between These Shampoos Matching the shampoo to your hair's actual condition makes a bigger difference than chasing any one ingredient. Use this as a quick reference: - Dry or damaged color-treated hair: Sea of Spa Keratin Shampoo or BIOSPA Keratin & Macadamia Shampoo. - Hair recovering from heat styling or straightening: Keratin & Macadamia Shampoo – 30 ml travel size. - Preference for plant oils over keratin: CANNABIO Shampoo with Hemp Oil and Argan Oil. - Thin, dry, or noticeably weakened colored hair: La Pearl Shampoo with Biotin, Castor Oil & Collagen. - General scalp comfort, color-treated or not: Mint and Tea Tree Shampoo or Bio Spa Enriched Shampoo. ## Building a Full Routine, Not Just a Shampoo Swap In our experience helping customers work through color-care questions, shampoo choice matters, but it's rarely the whole story. A gentle keratin or argan-based shampoo works best when a matching conditioner or weekly mask follows it, since shampoo alone can't replace the moisture that color processing strips from the hair shaft. If you're switching to one of the keratin or hemp-oil formulas above, pairing it with a compatible mask once a week tends to give noticeably softer results than relying on shampoo by itself. There's no single best shampoo for color-treated hair that works for everyone, since hair thickness, dryness level, and personal texture preference all shift the answer. Start with whichever formula matches your hair's current condition, whether that's the keratin-forward Sea of Spa Keratin Shampoo, the plant-oil CANNABIO formula, or the richer La Pearl option, then adjust based on how your hair actually responds after a few washes. --- _[Ashury](https://ashury.com/) · Dead Sea skincare, shipped worldwide.
