Colour-Treated Hair Care NZ | Colour Safe Shampoo & Mask
Making Salon Colour Last Longer
Colour fades through two different processes at once. The colour molecules themselves break down under UV light and heat, while the hair's cuticle gradually lifts with each wash, allowing pigment to wash out faster than it should. A genuine colour-care routine works on both fronts, protecting the pigment chemically while keeping the cuticle sealed so less colour escapes with every shampoo.
What is in this collection
Wella's Invigo Color Brilliance and ColorMotion+ ranges anchor this collection with pH-balanced formulas built specifically for coloured hair, while Osmo's Wonder 10 conditioner and Pureology's sulphate-free volume range round out the options for different colour intensities and hair thicknesses.
Brands in this range
Wella Professionals, Osmo and Pureology make up this collection, giving a spread from everyday colour-safe cleansing through to intensive vibrancy masks for freshly coloured or high-maintenance shades like reds and fashion colours.

Colour-protection formulas depend on correct pH balancing to work properly, and Zilion sources every product in this range through official brand channels to make sure that chemistry is exactly as the manufacturer intended.
Why customers keep coming back
Colour fades faster than most people expect, so customers who invest in a salon colour service tend to want a shampoo and conditioner that genuinely extends it rather than a generic formula. Having Wella, Osmo and Pureology together lets you match product intensity to how vibrant or high-maintenance your colour actually is.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much colour actually fades between salon visits normally?
Some fade is expected within four to six weeks even with good care, though using colour-safe products can extend vibrancy noticeably longer than standard shampoo.
What makes a shampoo colour-safe rather than a regular shampoo?
Colour-safe shampoos are pH-balanced to keep the cuticle sealed and typically avoid harsh sulphates that strip colour faster.
Should I wait before washing freshly coloured hair?
Waiting 48 to 72 hours after colouring allows the colour to fully settle before the first wash, which helps reduce initial fade.
Is Wella Color Brilliance suitable for all colour types, including reds?
Yes, though reds and fashion colours fade fastest of all shades and often benefit from the more intensive Vibrant Color Mask alongside the shampoo.
Does washing hair in cold water really help colour last longer?
Yes, cooler water keeps the cuticle more closed than hot water, reducing how much colour washes out with each shower.
Can I use a clarifying shampoo on coloured hair?
Occasional use is fine for removing buildup, but frequent clarifying washes will strip colour faster than a colour-safe formula.
What is the difference between ColorMotion+ and Invigo Color Brilliance?
Both protect colour, but ColorMotion+ is formulated around a specific colour-protection technology while Color Brilliance offers separate lines for fine and thick coloured hair.
Is Pureology suitable for coloured hair even though it is a volume range?
Yes, Pureology's ranges are formulated to be colour-safe and sulphate-free regardless of whether they target volume, repair or hydration.
How often should I use a vibrancy mask on coloured hair?
Once a week is typical, increasing slightly for very vibrant or fashion colours that fade more visibly.
Will swimming in chlorine strip my hair colour faster?
Yes, chlorine is particularly harsh on colour and a protective leave-in or pre-swim treatment is recommended if you swim regularly.
Does sun exposure fade hair colour the same way it fades sunscreen or fabric?
Yes, UV rays break down colour molecules in a similar way, which is why colour-treated hair often benefits from a UV-protective spray in summer.
Can I use heat styling tools on colour-treated hair without fading it faster?
Heat accelerates colour fade, so using a heat protectant alongside colour-safe shampoo helps minimise the impact of regular styling.
Is it necessary to use a matching shampoo and conditioner from the same range?
Not strictly necessary, but matched systems are formulated to work together and often give more consistent results than mixing brands.
What causes colour to fade unevenly, going brassy at the ends but staying fine at the roots?
Ends have been through more processing and sun exposure over time, making them more porous and prone to faster colour loss than newer growth.
Can colour-safe shampoo also help with dryness from the colouring process?
Many colour-care formulas include hydrating ingredients since colouring itself is drying, though very dry hair may still need an additional moisture treatment.
Is there a difference in care needed for permanent versus semi-permanent colour?
Semi-permanent colour sits more on the hair's surface and can fade faster with washing, so colour-safe, low-sulphate products help both types last longer.
Should I avoid washing my hair every day if it is coloured?
Reducing wash frequency where practical helps preserve colour, though a gentle colour-safe shampoo makes daily washing less damaging if needed.
Can men's coloured or grey-blended hair use the same colour-care products?
Yes, colour protection works the same way regardless of hair length or gender, including for grey-blending colour services.
Will these products work on hair that has been coloured at home rather than in a salon?
Yes, colour protection benefits apply regardless of where the colour service was done.
How does Zilion guarantee these colour-care products are genuine?
