Chapter 14 - Shampooing Tinted Hair Or Bleached And Toned Hair

Exhaustive research in Clairol’s laboratories has shown that there is a distinct difference in tinted hair and bleached and toned hair. You should know and understand these differences in order to give these two hair types the care they require to keep them in good condition, keep hair color alive and fresh.

Tinted hair is more heavily pigmented than bleached and toned hair. Yet it has undergone enough pre-softening so that ordinary shampoos will strip it. Tinted hair retains more of its strength and elasticity, more natural oils, and so needs less conditioner in a shampoo. Yet it requires more gentle handling than naturally pigmented, untreated hair.

Bleached and toned hair is extremely delicate. Most of the natural pigment has been bleached away. The hair is left porous and easily penetrated by shampoos that strip color. It is often spongy and easy to break when wet... hard to comb and set. It requires extremely gentle cleansing action and the nourishment of rich conditioning ingredients to look and behave best.

Clairol Shampoo for Tinted Hair (Green) is specially formulated so it will not strip color on hair treated with Miss Clairol Hair Color Bath or with dyes, tints or color shampoos. It has greater cleansing action because tinted hair is stronger and more heavily pigmented than bleached and toned hair. Because tinted hair is less porous than bleached and toned hair, less conditioning action is needed.

Clairol Shampoo for Bleached and Toned Hair (Blue) is specially formulated so it will not strip even the most delicate shades. So gentle, it provides extra conditioning action vital to this more fragile, more porous hair type with its lighter pigmentation.
