Formulated to sit in a controlled pH range and built on cationic conditioners, it slips pigment onto the hair cuticle to rejuvenate color on natural or lightened hair. It’s free of sulfates, parabens, peroxide, salt, PPD and PTD, cruelty-free, and made in the USA—designed for routine at-home touch-ups that don’t compromise hair integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this shampoo refresh faded color without a salon visit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula combines cleansing surfactants with conditioning agents that carry direct-dye molecules into the hair surface, tinting strands as it washes.
