This is a decent shampoo for color treated hair. It lathers very well and it doesn't aggregate the already dry color treated hair like some other brands. It however doesn't provide the kind of glossy and vibrant shine I expect. The shampoo hydrates my color treated hair somewhat, and the accompany conditioner of the same line has to be used to do the trick to provide adequate hydration. Overall, I like this shampoo when I use it with the accompany conditioner of the same line. ( Available at $4.99 for 12.6 FL oz. )
