I dye my hair every couple of months, because I have some grey clusters on my head that I'm not ready to succumb to (I'm only 22! I don't want to have a big skunk streak in my hair!). While I use a conditioner aimed at curly hair most of the time (when I'm not using my Aussie), I try to use shampoo designed for dyed hair in an effort to prevent fading. The one I've been using for the past few months is L'Oreal's EverPure Moisture shampoo, which is sulfate-free. I don't put much stock in the sulfate and paraben avoidance craze, because there hasn't been any research that shows a definitive link between them and cancer––the most anyone has said is that they may contribute to cancer, but that can be said about many things (microwaves, cell phones, sunlight, puppies, chocolate...okay, I may have made some of those up, but you know what I mean). I have re-bought this shampoo, but I think I'll try branching out when I run out, because it has some issues.
