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!

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️
