A while back I had the opportunity to try out Shielo’s color protect line. I tried their Strengthening shampoo, Reflecting conditioner and their Leave-in heat protectant (which will be reviewed separately. This is a cruelty free, sulfate free line, which I really like.

Does it live up to its claims?
I think so. My hair felt silky smooth after using this shampoo and conditioner set. It felt light, not weighed down at all, which is sometimes a problem with conditioners. My color didn’t fade at all, which makes me very happy. I can’t speak to whether or not my hair shaft increased in diameter, as my hair didn’t feel any thicker to me.
My only downside is that I had an allergic reaction to the shampoo and conditioner.
Would I purchase?
I would not purchase, but only because I had an unfortunate reaction to the shampoo and conditioner. I think I’m allergic to whatever was used in it for fragrance, as it made my scalp red, hot and itchy. I tried using and then discontinuing use several times, and while it made my hair feel great, my scalp did not agree.
I think if you’re not sensitive to fragrance, this is a great shampoo and conditioner to use. I didn’t experience my color fading, which is no small feat considering that I’ve got extensions in my hair right now.

Hello Cotton
This looks really good. The price is pretty reasonable as well. I’m sorry you had an allergic reaction though
Me too
I really think the products are quality, just that they won’t work for me personally. Which sucks, because I LOVE how they made my hair feel.
The second ingredient in the shampoo, isn’t it one of the more harsh cleansing agents?
It might be.
