How often should I use this shampoo for colored hair?

There is no fixed rule, but most people find that washing colored hair 2–3 times per week works well. The goal is to keep the scalp clean without over-stripping the lengths. If your scalp tends to get oily quickly, you may need to use it more often, but always follow with a conditioner to maintain softness. On the other hand, if your hair feels dry or the color starts to look dull sooner than expected, spacing washes to every other day or even less frequently can help retain both moisture and pigment.

When you do wash, focus the lather on your scalp and roots, where oil and product buildup occur. Let the suds run through the lengths without vigorous rubbing, as this minimizes friction on the cuticle. Rinse with lukewarm water rather than hot, which can accelerate color fading. After washing, a conditioner or hair mask designed for colored hair will add an extra layer of protection and smoothness.
