Sunsilk is a well-known and trusted hair care brand among hairstylists worldwide. Staying up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies, Sunsilk shampoo has gained popularity in Vietnam for hair care. But can dyed hair be friends with Sunsilk shampoo? Let’s find out.

1 Is the Sunsilk Shampoo Brand Any Good?

Sunsilk Shampoo Brand

The Sunsilk brand was established in the UK in 1954, specializing in household products, particularly hair care and shampoo.

Today, Sunsilk is owned by Unilever and has established itself in the market with extremely high-quality products at affordable prices.

Several Sunsilk lines have been introduced to Vietnamese consumers. Overall, Sunsilk is a safe choice for those with dry, sensitive, or flaky scalps.

2 Ingredients in Sunsilk Shampoo for Dyed Hair

Dyed hair has higher requirements for shampoo to maintain color and nourish hair.

Dyed hair has many weaknesses, such as: Prone to breakage, fragile, dry, and frizzy due to heat, and most importantly, the ability to quickly fade if not cared for with suitable shampoo. Compared to natural hair, dyed hair has higher requirements for shampoo to maintain color and nourish hair:

Low sulfate content or no sulfate. This ingredient creates foam and has a strong cleansing effect to remove dirt from hair and scalp but inadvertently causes dyed hair color to fade faster.

Shampoos with natural and herbal ingredients usually contain less sulfate.

Gentle cleansing agents like sodium myreth or trideceth to prevent hair from losing moisture and becoming dry and frizzy.

Protect hair from UV rays, as sunlight can cause hair color to fade faster.

3 Sunsilk Shampoo Lines for Dyed Hair

So, does Sunsilk shampoo have the ability to protect and nourish dyed hair? Sunsilk currently offers five product lines in Vietnam, all suitable for dyed hair:

Yellow line for incredibly soft hair
Green line to prevent hair fall
