Does Kiehl’s Sunflower Color Preserving Shampoo and Conditioner come up Peaches?

November 16, 2009 Paris B 8 Comments

When I got my hair coloured, I also found myself in the uneviable position of having to buy shampoo for coloured hair. I don’t need more bottles of shampoo clogging up my shower stall! But for the sake of maintaining my hair colour for longer, I decided to.

I opted to try something new by Kiehl’s – their Sunflower Colour Preserving Shampoo and Conditioner. I popped into the store at Pavilion to pick up a sample but they were out, so I bit the bullet and bought a set for about RM145 – yeouch!

Ok it wasn’t so much as biting the bullet as finding haircare products that smell of peaches. I love peaches – fruit, colour and scent – so it was easy to sell me the  shampoo and conditioner just by opening up the bottle and letting me take a healthy sniff 😛

The Kiehl’s Sunflower Colour Preserving Shampoo line is paraben, silicone and sulfate free. Knowing that, I did not expect the shampoo to lather up and truly, it does not. Its a weird feeling because I find myself using a little more than I usually do to get some sort of lather going. When I rinse out the shampoo, my scalp feels clean, and my hair does not feel dry. But it does not feel quite as clean as I expect it to.

The Kiehl’s Sunflower Colour Preserving Conditioner however is something I like very much. Contrary to the shampoo, I find myself using less conditioner compared to other brands. My hair feels soft, tangle free and smells wonderfully like a peach garden… mmm… 😀

There’s one fly in the ointment. After about 2 weeks of using this line of hair care, I’m wondering if my hair is not feeling heavier than usual. My sister commented that my hair was looking a little flatter than usual which is not a compliment. I tried stopping this shampoo and conditioner for a few days and my hair does feel a little lighter so, I’m looking twice at the Kiehl’s Sunflower Color Preserving line the next time I step into the shower.

I’ll still use it up – peaches are too good to resist! 😀 But I would likely not repurchase. Kiehl’s Sunflower Shampoo is RM75 and the Conditioner is RM70.

Pros: Lovely scent of peaches, Sulfate paraben and silicone free, Conditioner works very well for my hair

Cons: Weighs my hair down with constant use, Shampoo does not feel clean

Have you tried this line from Kiehl’s? Do you have shampoo and conditioner to recommend for coloured hair?

Stay beautiful,

Paris B

    apparently good expensive shampoo dont lather as much as cheap ones. like the kerastase bain mirroir color shampoo which is really good but doesnt leave that squeaky clean feeling i want! and thats v important for me because i have really long hair and i need a clean scalp to avoid dandruff. i can recommend you this brand. Its called Pureology ( a sub brand of Redken) and its only available at Redken hair salons. It claims to be organic , sulphate and paraben free but it really lathers up! And you really only need a dime size amount. My stylist from SOHO @Starhill recommended it. Its really good. Been using it for about a month now and my color is still super shiny. 🙂

    just a question, hope is not stupid. There are so many shampoos out conditioner out there is there one that can work for all. I want to use good color shampoos but i noticed it leaves the hair a bit dry. Feeling is not that soft. But i want one that can do all the above 🙂
    Leave it soft and manageable and yet protects color

    At one point years ago I had really dry hair due to being in air-con all the time at work, I was using Avalon and other more commercially available shampoos and conditioners – plus i found i needed to wash every 2 days because otherwise my scalp would feel really oily

    I switched to the Paul Penders shampoo / conditioner and my hair wasn’t dry anymore, plus i found that my scalp felt a lot cleaner and i didn’t absolutely feel like a grease farm the day after washing (washing hair too often dries it out and is bad for roots). They’ve changed formulations a few times since the first one i tried (which i still like best i think), the last formulation was ok, still using it up, can’t wait to finish it up so I can try the newest formulation.

    I love the Shielo Color Protect – both shampoo and conditioner – but it’s usually way too expensive in the salon. Love that I can get a great price on it AND have free shipping ordering at their website online. Best shampoo I have used to preserve my color job.

    I highly recommend it if you spent alot of money coloring your hair, and now want to keep that color as long as possible!

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
