You’ve dyed your hair, now you’ve got to upgrade your hair care routine to match your newly colored strands. Incorporating one of the best color-depositing shampoos into your product arsenal will help maintain your hair’s color vibrancy and richness, giving you that fresh-from-the-salon look in between your coloring appointments.

Formulated with tinted pigments, these color-safe shampoos act like color-correctors for your hair by depositing brassiness-busting color into your hair to perfect its tone. Some formulas will also incorporate naturally brightening and toning ingredients like lemon extract into their blue and purple shampoos, giving your hair an extra boost of radiance. The best color-depositing shampoos also come formulated with hair-healthy ingredients like keratin, jojoba oil and aloe vera, allowing them to provide the nourishing, softening and strengthening benefits of deep-conditioning treatments in addition to the cleansing and toning properties of a toning shampoo.

As a general rule of thumb, cooler colors offset warm tones. So, opting for a cool-hued blue shampoo will help minimize orange, brassy tones in color-treated brunette strands, whereas purple shampoos work best at eliminating yellowness and brassiness in blond, gray and silver strands. There are also color-depositing shampoos that cater to bolder colors like pink, green, blue and purple and come in a variety of brightly tinted formulas.

Below, explore the best color-depositing shampoos that will help keep your mane vibrant while also protecting it from damage.
