Why Pureology is made for coloured hair
Every Pureology formula is sulphate-free, 100% vegan and contains AntiFade Complex, a blend designed to help colour-treated hair stay vibrant for longer. The shampoos are concentrated, so a small amount goes a long way.
Hydrate and Hydrate Sheer: for dry hair
Hydrate is Pureology's best-known range. It adds rich moisture and softness to dry, colour-treated hair that's normal to thick. If your hair is fine and gets weighed down easily, choose Hydrate Sheer instead: it gives the same moisture in a lighter formula.
Routine: Hydrate Shampoo, Hydrate Conditioner, then the Hydrate Hair Treatment Mask once or twice a week. Finish with Hydrate Glow Catcher Oil for shine.
Strength Cure: for damaged hair
Strength Cure is for hair that's been through bleach, heat or frequent colouring. It helps strengthen hair and reduce breakage while keeping it soft. Strength Cure Blonde is the purple version that also neutralises brassy, yellow tones in blonde and silver hair.
Routine: Strength Cure Shampoo and Conditioner, the Strength Cure Hair Treatment Mask weekly, and Dream Healer Serum on the ends.
Nanoworks Gold: for very dry hair
Nanoworks Gold is Pureology's most luxurious range. It's made for very dry, dull or over-processed hair that needs intense nourishment and shine.
Pure Volume: for fine, flat hair
Pure Volume gives fine hair lift and body without weighing it down. Pair it with Style + Protect Instant Levitation Mist or Weightless Volume Mousse for extra root lift.
Smooth Gloss: for frizzy hair
Smooth Gloss is Pureology's newest smoothing range, offering up to 72 hours of frizz control when used as a routine. Use the Smooth Gloss Shampoo, then the Smooth Gloss Treatment Mask in place of conditioner, and finish with Smooth Gloss Silkmorphose Spray.
Color Fanatic: the one product for everyone
The Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray works with every Pureology range. It has 21 benefits, including detangling, heat protection and shine. If you buy only one extra product, make it this one.
Save with a Pureology bundle
