Product to remove shampoo build up for color treated hair?

My hair is colored black and I've tried using several different shampoos and conditioners for color treated hair but they all leave a sticky/oily residue at the scalp. Any suggestions on a products to use to remove the build up without fading my black hair and what shampoo to use for color treated hair that does not leave build up?Product to remove shampoo build up for color treated hair?
You have to use a clarifying shampoo - yes this will strip out some colour but you can resolve that by using a black semi - permanent afterwards, this will also do your hair good and give it shine, or skip the shampoo and just use the semi, it strips out build up too. I think the one mentioned above is probably a semi.


In future use a shampoo for dark hair, these have added plant colour that keeps your hair black and you don't get build up, Aveda do a great one (Black Malva) and Jason (a natural range from health food shops) do one also. Never use a 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner they are the worst, or any product with silicones in.Product to remove shampoo build up for color treated hair?
Unfortunately, because black (the worst possible hair colour) contains a lot of ingredients that are not in any other colour, it creates untold problems for the people -- most of whom don't know the difference!





One common solution to clean off any build-up from any product is baking soda (bicarbonate of soda). Mix about a tablespoon in a glass of warm water and then run that through your hair. You may want to work it well into the most affected areas. This loosens any foreign material on the hair, and then you can easily rinse it out. Some people like to use it BEFORE a shampoo and then shampoo it out.





Too many of the commercial shampoos are not good for you. They make the hair feel slick (the build-up) but that means it is leaving a coating on the hair. You want a plain simple ordinary basic shampoo without any of the additives that only increase the cost and don't contribute anything to making your hair clean. I also feel that most people use far too much shampoo on their hair, and don't rinse it out fully, and are shampooing their hair far too often. Some shampoos are extremely difficult to remove, so use only what you need (too expensive to waste) and make sure you rinse very well. Use the vinegar rinse periodically (it can dry your hair if used too often) to clean off any excess shampoo, and use the baking soda periodically as well just to be sure everything is kept clean and doesn't build-up for you.
I really like L'oreal Vitamino Colour, which you can buy at hairdressers. It removes build up and leaves hair in really good condition.
Try a kelating Shampoo. Mastey has a good one, called 'Use me first'.
