Reviews
For hair that you don’t want color fading on treated hair Joico Defy Damage Protective Shampoo is where it’s at! I wash my hair pretty regularly so it’s important for me to have a shampoo where my hair dye doesn’t fade away or break off.
I love this Joico shampoo because it works well with my highlighted hair. I have long hair that goes down to my waist and I find that a little bit of the product goes a long way. I also love how my hair feels after using the shampoo. It makes my hair healthier and stronger which is exactly the moisturizing factor that I’m looking for.

Joico Defy Damage Protective Shampoo is surely the best shampoo I have ever used my hair felt so smooth even without using the conditioner I love it so much!
