Which type of shampoos are designed to prevent stripping of hair color?

Volumizing shampoos
Clarifying shampoos
Conditioning shampoos
Medicated shampoos

The correct answer is: Conditioning shampoos

Conditioning shampoos are specifically formulated to maintain the integrity and vibrancy of color-treated hair. By combining gentle cleansing agents with nourishing ingredients, these shampoos help to avoid stripping hair color while also providing hydration and improving manageability. They are ideally suited for individuals looking to preserve their color for as long as possible, minimizing the risk of fading that can occur with harsher formulations. In contrast, volumizing shampoos are aimed at adding body and thickness to the hair, which may not necessarily focus on preserving color. Clarifying shampoos are designed to remove buildup and can be too harsh for colored hair, potentially leading to color stripping. Medicated shampoos, while useful for specific scalp or hair conditions, may also contain strong ingredients that could impact hair color. Therefore, conditioning shampoos are the best choice for preventing color stripping while keeping hair healthy and moisturized.
