“I save them for as long as I can after I color my hair because they are the best and really nourishing,” says Hendricks. “I use box dye on my hair and every time I use the little packet of conditioner, I LOVE the way my hair feels,” writes one user.

I’m fairly sure box dye conditioners just have lots of silcones in them to hide damage done by the dye. I find Fructis Triple Nutrition to be a dupe for box dye conditioner, apparently that’s what comes in the Garnier box dyes too. Sally’s sells a large tube of the after color conditioner made by Fiera.

The conditioner in those dyes is not going to do your hair any good in the long term. The effect you get from it is mostly due to the high silicone amount. Silicone is the second ingredient after water in most of those conditioning sachets.

The conditioner is meant to be a weekly deep treatment. As such, it’s included with the color and not for purchase without it. I can attest that the L’oreal shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair works great for those regular uses.

Tresemme products often contain sulfates and salts, which can be damaging for your hair. Extended use of sulfates is bad for your hair, but some experts recommend occasionally deep cleaning your hair with sulfates. For a thorough yet nourishing cleanse, you can use Tresemme Boutanique Nourish and Replenish Shampoo.

This ingredient, for some people, may lead to a waxy buildup over time. In the beginning, it will leave your hair looking super shiny. But for the wrong hair, it can leave buildup, cause it to feel sticky, and may make it brittle. Is this why stylists say Pantene coats the hair or makes it fall out?

Pantene shampoo has a moderate and attractive smell while Sunsilk has a stronger fragrance. Sunsilk can help you reconstruct damaged hair while Pantene is best for treating dandruff. Whereas, Sunsilk will leave your hair feeling silky, smooth, and manageable. Use Sunsilk for softening hair and Pantene for hair shine.
