Some of the best shampoo for color treated hair also happens to be some of the top vegan and vegetarian friendly brands.  These brands are also cruelty free, and they lack many of the dangerous chemicals and irritants found in other types of shampoos.  Just a few common shampoo ingredients to avoid include methylisothiazoline (MIT), which is believed to cause neurological damage, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which is believed to cause follicle damage and hair loss and formaldehyde, which is considered a carcinogen.

These are just a few of many dangerous chemicals used in shampoo.  So, to avoid these dangers in shampoo for any type of hair from limp to color treated to damaged, stick to cruelty free, vegan and vegetarian friendly brands such as Modern Organic Products (mop), All-Nutrient, Pureology, Wen Hair Care and Aubrey Organics, to name a few.

These brands, and many other similar brands, contain a number of natural and organic ingredients that are essential for the health of color treated hair.  Just a few common natural ingredients in the best shampoo for color treated hair include soy, sunflower, citrus, elemi, orange, ginger, coconut, corn, sunscreen, macadamia oil, organic jojoba oil, organic lavender, soymilk, chamomile, biotin, rosewood, jasmine, ylang ylang, olive oil, lime and French rosemary essential oils.
