Our uniquely formulated shampoo and companion conditioner let you retain more color. You get up to three times less color washout than with other leading brands tested.
They’ve also been proven superior at retaining perms. Plus they’re highly rinseable so they won’t weigh your curls down. Use Neutrogena first to make your new color and new perm last.
