I regularly have my hair coloured at my local hairdresser's salon and find that I need to buy specially designed hair products to try and maintain the colours (three in total) on my hair and stop it from fading. Such products seem to either fail miserably or work wonders, and I personally find most of them seem to fluctuate from one extreme to the other. Given that I work as an Avon representative and therefore have a huge amount of experience in buying and selling (and using) many Avon products from several of their different ranges, it occurred to me recently that I had not tried a hair shampoo from their 'Advance Techniques' range of hair care ...  Read the complete review

The Product = = = = = = = The product I am reviewing is colour protection shampoo by Avon. Until recently I have never tried any products from Avon and when my sister handed me a book I thought I would order a few things to see what they were like. This shampoo was on offer along with the conditioner so I thought I would give both of the products a try. This particular shampoo is specifically for colour treated hair and claims to be formulated with Colour Shield technology to help, nourish, protect and extend the life of your hair colour. I always use shampoo and conditioner for colour treated hair as I find that my hair can sometimes become dull. The shampoo ...  Read the complete review

I have coloured my hair since I was 15 and decided it would be a wonderful idea to dye my hair black! Now at nearly 30 I need to dye my hair to hide the greys but cannot afford to have it done in a salon everytime and hate dying my hair so I like the colour to last as long as possible. When Avon had an offer on their Advance techniques range I bought the colour protection shampoo and conditioner, the range is only available through Avon so you either have to order off an Avon representative or through their website although you have to pay a delivery change if you spend under £20. The shampoo costs £2.80 at full price but like everything in the ...  Read the complete review

I always use this shampoo and havent found one before to be just as good at such a low price. This shampoo is for sale in the avon brochure for £2.65 but always on offer, I always buy lots when its for sale for 99p I also buy the conditioner too. The packaging is a white bottle with a bright pink flip top lid, I don't like the bottle as the lids at the top so all the shampoo gets stuck in the bottle but as the tops skinnier it can be awkward to balance it upside down. Its got a nice simple design and says 'formulated with creatine plus an atioxidant and uv filter complex to protect the brilliance of colour treated hair, while it helps to strengthen, repair and ...  Read the complete review

I recently bought Avon's Colour Protection Shampoo when it was on special offer for 99p. A 250 ml bottle usually retails at £2.65. My hair is professionally highlighted, which is not a cheap business, so I am always on the look out for products that preserve my colour. Avon tell us that this shampoo moisturises and "keeps vibrant, rich colour for longer." At 99p I thought I would give it a go. The shampoo has a creamy texture, it lathers well and rinses easily. It has a pleasant, salon like smell, which I did not find clung to my hair after rinsing. The shampoo seems to clean my hair well and removes all traces of previous styling products. ...  Read the complete review
