Coloresse: Pureology Quality on a Pantene Budget?

So, you know those generic perfumes and colognes that say "If you like Chanel No.5, you'll love Shanel No.10."? Well that does not just apply to perfumes. There are also knock off hair products and styling tools. Most of the ones that I know about are from Sally Beauty Supply and I will do posts on many of these in the future.

The first Sally's knock off product line I'll talk about is their Coloresse Line, which is a generic version of Pureology.


Here are the ingredients for Coloresse Moisture Shampoo:

Water (Aqua, Eau), Sodium C14-18 Olefin Sulfonate, Isopropylamine Dodecylbenzenesulfonate, Glycol Stearate, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein PG-Propyl Silanetriol, Fragrance (Parfum), PEG-150 Distearate, Cinnamidopropytrimonium Chloride, Polyamide-2, Panthenol, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Polyquaternium-10, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Hydrolyzed Oat Protein, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Tocopheryl Acetate Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Extract, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Symphytum Officinale Leaf Extract, PPG-2 Hydroxyethyl Cocamide, Lecithin, Caprylic/Capric, Triglyceride, PEG-12 Oleate, Propylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Tetrasodium, EDTA, Phosphoric Acid, Sodium Chloride, Ext. Violet 2 (CI 60730), Blue 1 (CI 42090), Red 33 (CI 17200), Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Linalool.


And here is the ingredient list for Pureology Antifade Complex Hydrate Shampoo:

Botanicals of Rose, Sandalwood, Green Tea (Certified Organic), Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Lauryl Sarcosinate, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Cocamidopropylamine Oxide, Glycol Distearate, Decyl Glucoside, Amodimethicone, C11 15 Pareth 7, Laureth 9, Glycerin, Trideceth 12, Cinnamidopropyl Trimonium Chloride (Sunscreen), Sunflower Seed Extract (Heligenol), Melanin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Super Oxide Dismutase (Antioxidants), Hydrolyzed Oat Protein, Wheat Amino Acids Protein Complex, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Lauryl Alcohol, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Polyquaternium 7, Quaternium 26, Glycereth 26, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, FD&C Violet 2 (Food Grade), Aromatherapy Fragrance



The ingredients are not the same but the do have similarities and they both promise to do similar things to your hair. They both are sulfate free shampoos that protect your hair color from fading and they both get great reviews. But Pureology costs $28 at drugstore.com on a good day (more at other places) and Coloresse costs $7.99 at Sally Beauty Supply. So, before you go out buy Pureology for $30 why not try Coloresse first for $8 and see if that doesn't work for you, at a fraction of the cost of Pureology. It's worth a shot, ladies (and gents).

Coloresse also has products for defining your curls, volumizing flat hair, and repairing damaged hair so whatever your hair trouble, Coloresse has you covered.

If you are more interested in the Pureology, they too have different products for different hair problems. In addition to their Hydrate line, there is the SuperSmooth System, the PureVolume System, EssentialRepair System, and the NanoWorks Luxury System.

If you have tried Pureology, tell us what you think of it. If you have tried Coloresse, tell us what you think of it. But if you have tried Pureology and Coloresse please give us a comparison of the two and which one you think is better. I really want to hear what you think. Is pureology worth the extra price or is Coloresse just as good? I just bought Coloresse Moisture shampoo today and I will give a review of it after I have used.

Stay Tuned.


Edit: I actually bought the Coloresse for dry and damaged hair, not the one for moisturizing. I'll try that one and tell you how it works for me.
