We updated this guide in March 2023 to ensure all products vetted by the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab were in stock and reflected accurate prices. We also added three new picks based on recent testing and research.
Your latest dye job doesn't simply end once you leave the salon — using a top-rated shampoo that's intended for color-treated hair is key to keeping your shade fresh and vibrant, whether it's brunette, black, blonde, red or an even bolder hue (hello, purple and rose gold!). Shampoos of any kind are designed to clean away oil and dirt, and color-protecting formulas use the same basic cleansing ingredients but also aim to minimize the amount of dye that runs down the drain each time you wash. Not only do color-safe shampoos work to preserve your dye job, but they also help mask any damage by making strands feel softer and smoother, too.
To put together this list of the best shampoos for colored hair, we consulted our beauty editors and beauty scientists in the Good Housekeeping Institute for their top-tested picks, as well as professional hair stylists.
At the end of this guide, you can read more about how we test color-safe shampoos and if you're looking for more top-rated shampoos, check out our guides to the best hydrating shampoos for dry hair, volumizing shampoos for fine hair, dandruff-fighting shampoos and sulfate-free shampoos — plus the best hair products you can buy.
