23 Products Reviewers With Dyed And Bleached Hair Love
Elizavecca's Protein Treatment is a dream come true if your ends have more splits than a banana sundae (respectfully). This helps tame frizzy hair and delivers ultimate smoothness — all without weighing it down. Promising reviews: "One of the best hair masks ever! This SAVED my dry and bleached damaged hair. I have only used it twice in one week. It's amazing and the difference in my hair is insane. I had a split dye and half of my hair was brittle, dry, and splitting due to bleach and heat damage. This mask turned my hair around after two uses. I can't believe it." —jazzypants (Jasmyn) Price: $7.20 Celeb Luxury Colorwash Color Depositing Shampoo turns ~Pinterest pastel~ dreams into reality (no expensive or time-consuming trips to the salon required). This actively hits the refresh button on color-treated hair that fades after just one wash, sparing you the heartbreak of feeling like you just wasted a ton of money for no reason. You just dyed it light blue! It shouldn't be bleach-blonde after 1.5 days. This shampoo works best on bleached or naturally blond hair, and can be used just like a regular shampoo — lather on a generous amount, give your hair a good scrubbing, rinse thoroughly, and that's it! The color will have a more faded effect after the first use, but will be significantly more vibrant after the second wash. Psst, this formula is also vegan, cruelty-free, sulfate-free, and formaldehyde-free! Promising review: "I want to start off by saying I was super apprehensive about trying this because my hair is already pretty damaged. I naturally have thick black hair, and have been bleaching my hair for 5+ years. I've been wanting to try another color, but I've been worried that I would have to sacrifice my blonde hair in the process (afraid it would damage and leave pigment in my hair if I wanted to go back to blonde). When I saw this shampoo, I was like, no commitment? Fades over time? This is for me! I applied it wet and by myself, and I am stunned with the outcome! Color is gorgeous!" —Destiny VillanuevaPrice: $36.50 (available in 22 colors) Silicone-free L'Oreal Paris Elvive 8-Second Wonder Water lamellar makes good on its promise of shine, shine, shine. This banishes dullness in eight seconds flat, giving your mane a generous dose of lustrous hydration and bounce. Apply this directly to wet hair, avoiding the roots, massage it in for eight seconds, then rinse. Effort required = practically zero. Promising review: "This is my first Amazon review… but THAT'S how good this product was! I felt it the second I put it in my hair in the shower. I felt the immediate softness. I'm not big on blow drying my hair either because I always feel like it makes it more dry, but, I wanted to follow the instructions. If you have heavily dyed hair (my hair has been bleached due to various colors… blue, purple and now red) and wow. It feels like I went to the salon." —Sonya DuartePrice: $10.97 Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector Repairing Hair Treatment owns a ~prime~ spot on Amazon's bestsellers list — and for good reason. Over 120,000 reviewers (!) swear this product delivers intense repair for damaged strands, making it the ideal weekly treatment for folks who dye their hair frequently. Promising review: "MAGIC!!!! I swear this stuff is made from unicorns. I was doubtful, given that I have tried the gamut of hair conditioning treatments (yes, yes, I know this is NOT a conditioner, but a bonder) and all I have to say is WOWZA! After some really harsh processing (got my hair from dark dark brown to very very blonde so I could add funky colors (currently pink), my hair more closely resembled hay than it did actual hair and as the weeks went on, the breakage started getting worse. I tried this at my last feeble attempt to salvage my locks after a friend recommended it and I am BLOWN AWAY by the results! It really does work. I won't lie and tell you my hair is back to its normal state, but it is SIGNIFICANTLY improved. It is smoother, softer, and even has some of the weight back! This was just after one application (I left it in for an hour as the website suggested for my level of damage). I can't wait to see if it gets better with the next application. I am definitely sold." — $30 Mise En Scene PerfectSerum contains seven natural oils (argan, olive, coconut, apricot, marula, jojoba, and camellia) that can be applied to damp hair pre-blowout for heat protection and post-blowout for reduced frizz. Mane Club One Hit Wonder delivers the power of 10 products in one with a single spritz. It provides heat protection up to 445 degrees, detangles, boosts shine, and helps prevent breakage, all without the weigh-down you'd typically get from a nutrient-packed product. Paul Mitchell Color Protect Locking Spray actively ~locks in~ color to keep it looking fresh and vibrant — no weigh-down, no overwhelming scent, and no hair-changing-color after being exposed to the sun. Promising review: "I swear by this product! I dyed my hair hot pink right before spending a week in Hawaii and prior to the trip, my color would fade FAST. When I sprayed this on my hair every morning, I noticed a huge improvement, and after my trip, my hair is just as vibrant as it was at first!!" —Heidi LinderPrice: $17.50 Color Wow Dream Coat harnesses the power of several gels and creams into one solve-all product. A few spritzes gives you a sleek, crunch-free style; waterproofing technology helps lock in moisture and blocks humidity to ensure a frizz-free finish that stays frizz free all day long. Promising review: "I have long, thick, type 2c hair that I have dyed blonde. Needless to say, it's naturally dry and very frizzy. I was skeptical about this because I normally have to use four different products on my curls and Color Wow said I only needed this one product…. And they were right! My curls are soft, light and shiny! It doesn't leave a cast on your hair, so you don't have that crunchy feeling. I will be buying more. I think I found my new favorite product for my curly hair!" —Kacie HeckardPrice: $12+ (available in two sizes) Garnier's Fructis Sleek and Shine Leave-In Conditioning Cream that's made with moisturizing argan oil — because lack of moisture due to hair dye = excess breakage. This tames frizz, extends style, and promotes shine, plus it costs *less* than a cup of coffee. Promising review: "I love this leave-in conditioner. It leaves my hair untangled, silky, smooth, shiny, and nongreasy. I really feel a big difference in my hair since using this leave-in conditioner. My hair is dyed red and very straight and the dye can leave it without shine. I also swim two times a week for 2-3 hours each, and I CrossFit five times a week, so my hair truly goes through a lot. Love it!" —MariaPrice: $5.89 Verb Ghost Shampoo cuts down on grease *without* being too harsh on your mane. A mix of moringa oil, quinoa protein, and sunflower seed extract works together to help repair damage while stopping dryness and brassiness in their tracks. Promising review: "If you have fine hair buy this shampoo!! It makes my hair feel great, smells good, and isn't heavy at all. Really helps with volume, as much as a shampoo can that is. Doesn't strip your hair or anything, no sulfates etc. so really great for dyed hair as well. I bleached and dyed my hair blue like a month ago and it still looks great." —EllynPrice: $46 Fanola No Yellow Purple Shampoo nips brassiness in the bud. The violet pigment in this formula works to wash away unwanted yellow in your 'do, meaning you can extend the time between salon visits— and SAVE A TON OF MONEY. Easy and affordable? Someone pinch me. Use this only once a week (for about three minutes at a time) to prevent your hair from turning a slightly lavender shade. Promising review: "I don't usually write reviews but I RAVE about this shampoo to every blonde I meet! No other purple shampoo could EVER compare to Fanola! I prefer an 'icy blonde' look and I couldn't be happier with the results I get every time I use this. If you have blonde hair, BUY this NOW! You won't regret it! I recently added some highlights and bleached my roots, and after only two weeks of getting it done, it turned so yellow and I hated it. This was the difference after ONE wash! No bleach, no toner, just Fanola! Worth EVERY penny!!" —Camryn $12.25+ (available in two sizes) Hask Shampoo and Conditioner Set provides tresses with an extra layer of protection, using organic rose oil and peach extract to seal in color while giving bounce, body, and shine. Want to be cast in a shampoo commercial? This is step one toward that royalty check. Promising review: "This product made my fine, color-treated, and slightly damaged hair feel shiny, bouncy, and smelling fresh and clean (without being overpowering). I will honestly never use another shampoo/conditioner again after finding this product! I LOVE it!" —Joy Evans Price: $29.99 L'Oreal Paris Root Cover Up Concealer Spray covers grays between salon visits. Consider this the concealer of your haircare routine, using a lightweight formula to hide silver strands with no smudging or sticky residue. What do we love? Quick fixes to all our annoying problems. And this is that quick fix. Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! Like magic. I thought I'd give it a try as I usually use a powder with a brush to cover up my grays in between coloring, but this stuff... omg! Sprays right on and looks so dang natural This takes care of covering up grays in between coloring in a cinch." —Lisa98 Price: $7.42+ (available in 11 colors) Malibu C Color Prepare Treatment preps your 'do for color application: Just leave this on for five minutes to remove color-blocking build-up, ~apply some dye~ within 24 hours, and voila! Your tresses are now a blank canvas that will allow for better color absorption and less fading after leaving the salon. Promising review: "Best. Product. Ever. I tried this at the advice of my hairstylist because my color was not taking well and it faded within days of application. You use this product within 24 hours of coloring your hair, shampoo as usual, then pour the crystals from the packet into your hand. Just add warm water, apply to your hair, and you will INSTANTLY feel change happening. I could actually feel GUNK coming off my hair. The result was my hair looking shinier, more bouncy, and so much softer. The color also just took better and lasted much longer." —Deb RabinePrice: $11.94 for one or $47.99 for 12 John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Luminous Glaze is ideal for anyone trying to extend time between salon visits *or* anyone trying to nix salon visits altogether. This weekly treatment focuses on maximizing shine for a mirror-like effect while bringing out your natural brown color. Some reviewers say it's great for camouflaging grays, if you're into review: "I like to get my hair highlighted, but occasionally it gets too brassy. This item works wonderfully to tone it down a bit, without me giving up highlights or going back for an expensive low-light treatment. I hope they always sell this product!" —Sara $11.99 A Heatless Curling Rod Headband that's been hyped by the TikTok masses for delivering flawless waves — no heat tools (or further damage to dyed hair) required. Simply wrap damp hair around the roller, fasten with the provided clip, and snooze the night away. Promising review: "I was skeptical to buy, but I've seen so many good reviews, I wanted to try! From bleaching and dyeing my hair over the years, I've been needing to use less heat! Tried this when it got delivered last night, and it works so well!! I dampened my hair with water, braided my hair around (two sections and using the curler as a third), and slept in it overnight, and woke up to this!! It takes a minute getting the braids right if you've never done this before, but next time my curls will probably be even better!! :)" —CaitlinPrice: $8.59+ (available in seven styles) Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil has garnered over 30,000 reviews on Amazon. It does the following: helps nourish fried ends, minimizes frizz, adds weightless shine, and provides heat protection — aka it's the perfect thing to revitalize dyed hair in a pinch. Promising review: "I would see everyone on social media using this, so I thought maybe they were sponsored, but I decided to try this (on my bleached hair) and I really do think this is one of the best hair products out there. With just one use, I saw a difference in my hair. No more frizz, my hair texture is better and softer, and it even enhanced my balayage. It doesn't have a strong smell or anything either, which is good. Good quality product worth every dollar!" —JennyPrice: $30 Hair Dance Dry Shampoo Volume Powder vacuums up grease and extends the time between shampoos, which in turn extends the life of your color. Pro tip: If you add some into your roots before bed, you'll wake up with a completely refreshed scalp that looks like it was shampooed five minutes ago (...as opposed to five days ago). This vegan and cruelty-free dry shampoo doesn't contain any talc, parabens, or baking soda (hooray). A personal note: As someone with thin, greasy, flat hair, I can confidently say that powder dry shampoos are so much better than aerosol ones. Like, they actually make your hair look freshly washed. Promising review: "I have bleached blond hair with oily roots. Spray-on dry shampoo always felt gummy on my hair and didn't really work. I love this product. I unscrew the cap just a little bit and shake carefully near my roots. I run my fingers through it and give a light comb through. My hair looks clean and fluffy. Thicker too… hair thinning as I age. Fabulous… hope they make it forever! No strong smell either." —StanleyskidPrice: $9.99 John Frieda Blue Crush Shampoo and Conditioner Set is specifically formulated to cut brassiness from cool brunette tones. Free of peroxide and ammonia, this duo helps prolong the time between salon visits *and* is especially wonderful for balayage styles. Promising review: "I have balayaged hair and this product has been PERFECT! I have ash brown color hair, with lighter blonde(ish) balayage through it, however it needed toning due to the discoloring over time. I was a bit hesitant that it would mess up the color since there are several colors in my hair, but it did not at all. This product is easy to use, smells great, and really evens out the hair color tones. The ONLY issue I have is that it DOES stain your hands, so be sure to wash/rinse your hands ASAP while the shampoo is sitting in your hair." —Amanda Castan Price: $23.98 Sun Bum Revitalizing 3-in-1 Leave In Conditioner enlists the hydrating benefits of coconut and sunflower seed oil to give hair what it needs right this second: MOISTURE. Not only will this help counteract the drying effects of sun and chlorine, but it also works as a detangler to help your brush glide through each color-treated strand. Psst, this spray is also cruelty-free, gluten-free, and vegan. Promising review: "I have colored-treated blonde hair. This not only helps me with tangles after washing, but it also keeps my color in the hot sun (I live in Southern California and spend hours outside every day). My friends have tried it and they love it, too." —Ashley Snow Price: $15.49 Mielle Organics scalp and hair strengthening oil is formulated with rosemary mint to help stimulate your scalp. TL;DR: if you're experiencing thinning hair, over 100,000 reviewers say incorporating this in your regimen two to three times per week may help add volume. A Hair Scalp Massager Brush that increases the effectiveness of your shampoo by helping clear away built-up product in your scalp — the kind that would lead to dullness and lack of body. This little silicone tool also works to stimulate your scalp and improve circulation, which can lead to speedier hair growth (something that becomes a bit more difficult after bleaching and dying your hair at least 95 times a year). Promising review: "I'd like to say that this thing is one of the goofiest looking products I have ever bought in my entire life. That being said, it is one of my favorite products I've ever had, and I preach the wonders of this thing to anyone and everyone who will listen. Since purchasing it, I have cut down my use on shampoo AND CONDITIONER by HALF. I have long, color-treated, mildly damaged hair and I used to go through shampoo and conditioner like WATER. Now I don't feel so guilty about purchasing more expensive products because this little tool makes it go such a long way. It lathers beautifully, cleans my scalp, and distributes conditioner evenly. Also, the feeling is spine-tingling, literally like having a tiny hair stylist just washing your hair for you. The best part is, it gets my hair SO CLEAN that I don't need to wash as often either, which is the cherry on top. Seriously, do yourself a favor, treat yo' self, and get the thing. You won't regret it." —Allison BrittainPrice: $6.98 (available in three colors) Diane Twist-Flex Rods for Coils, Curls, and Waves allow you to wake up with ready-to-go hair. These are pros at giving you the perfect waves without subjecting your color-treated 'do to any more heat damage, which I'm sure will have your burnt split-ends and weak upper arms crying tears of relief. Just wrap individual sections of hair around each rod, spritz with some hairspray to ensure a longer hold, go to bed, and THAT'S IT! Remove the rollers after your morning coffee and your hair will be set for the day. Psst, do you have straight, thin hair and are assuming these won't work for you? Well you are WRONG, because even reviewers with straight and thin hair swear by these things! Promising review: "As someone who colors their hair, I am constantly on the lookout for ways to style my hair without further damaging it; I therefore try to stay away from heated methods of styling as much as possible. I prefer heatless methods like this because the curls seem to set for longer and stay bouncy. I have pretty thick hair and was looking for a casual, wavy look... the fact that my hair took to curling in such a short period of time (I had just left them in for two hours) is AMAZING!!" —Kiana Price: $15.84

'Olaplex's latest volume-boosting launch is a game-changer for fine hair like mine'
Leading bond-building haircare brand Olaplex has just launched two new products designed to not only strengthen and repair fine hair but also add volume and bounce Olaplex hair products – in particular the iconic No.3 Hair Perfector treatment – are loved worldwide for their ability to strength, repair and rebuild strands, especially if you regular colour or heat-style your hair. Olaplex also makes a brilliant shampoo and conditioner for everyday upkeep, but those with fine or flat hair who've tried it may have found it to be a little heavy for their hair. Now, however, there's a new solution. Olaplex has just launched new versions of its shampoo and conditioner specially designed for fine hair. No.4 Fine Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Conditioner cost £14 for little 100ml bottles and £28 for 250ml bottles, and contain low molecular weight hyaluronic acid helps to hydrate and soften hair, plus a 'Hydra-Balancing Matrix' that cleanses and conditions tresses, without weighing them down. Additionally (and different to the original shampoo and conditioner), there are also flexible polymers in the formula, which help to give the hair volume and lift from the roots. As someone with long, fine hair myself that's prone to looking limp and flat – yet is also regularly bleached – I'm super excited to try out this new hair-washing duo. I have used and loved the original Olaplex shampoo and conditioner in the past but do find it a little rich for my thin hair, so these new launches sound like they're exactly what my haircare routine has been missing. I've also recently been using Olaplex's No.5 Leave In Moisturize and Mend Leave In Conditioner, £30, on the ends of my hair, which I think is doing wonders for my straggly strands. I also always have a bottle of the brand's hero product, No.3 Hair Perfector, in my bathroom for intense treatments after it's been coloured – and right now the cheapest you'll find it is at Amazon, where a 100ml bottle is down from £28 to £19.50. Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector Repairing Hair Treatment is suitable for all hair types, but those with dry or damaged hair will particularly benefit from its repairing properties. It contains hydrating and nourishing ingredients such as glycerin, panthenol and jojoba seed oil to give your hair the boost it needs. Although some confuse it with a conditioner or hair mask, Olaplex No.3 actually works from the inside out on every strand, helping to repair bonds that have been broken by things like heat styling, bleaching and wear and tear. Over time your hair will start to look and feel softer and stronger, and be less prone to breakage or split ends. If you're after a cheaper alternative, L'Oréal Paris' Elvive Bond Repair range is a great option, and with bundles often hugely reduced in price; for example, you can now buy the four-piece Full Routine Bundle for £31.99 on Lookfantastic instead of the usual price of £57.96 – a saving of 45%. And if thinning hair or hair loss is more of a concern, we've been impressed by the before and after results from Hairburst's Advanced+ Hair Formula, which costs £55.99 for a month's supply.
