Questions about deep conditioners/colored hair?


Hi, i have a question about the garnier fructis 3 minute deep-conditioning mask (the one that comes in the circular tub)

my hair is naturally a dull brown color, but im italian w/ dark dark eyes, so i dyed my hair really dark brown, almost black. i like the color and i dont want it to fade, but i want to be able to use the garnier fructis mask. it doesnt say on the container if its color safe or not, so im afraid if i use it, it will make my color fade :[

i had to buy special expensive shampoo/conditioner from my salon for fine hair b/c my hair tends to not hold color well, even when i use color shampoo/cond from walmart. so im just concerned lol.

i heard that deep conditioning can actually help you retain your color longer, is this true? because in that case, the garnier deep conditioner would be good for my hair, and wouldnt fade it right?

also, ive read that putting pure vitamin e (if u were to pop some liquid gel capsules) on your hair helps reduce breakage, is this true? would this fade the color at all?

thanks, and sorry if my questions were repetetive lol
yeah, the fortifying deep conditioner that i have is from the sleek and shine line, not the color shield line. is that okay?? i've used it before with color treated hair, but it faded (but i dyed it myself, and it was pretty much going to fade no matter what b/c i wasnt using the right shampoo/conditioner)

i dont want to have to buy the color shield version and trash the sleek and shine one :/

  1. Garnier Fructis has a special deep conditioner for color treated hair in the Color Shield line. It protects your hair against the sun and moisturizes, strengthens, and makes your hair shinier. And vitamin E being good for color-treated hair seems to be true. A lot of the shampoos and conditioners for color-treated hair have vitamin E in them.

  2. I use Pantene Prov
    it works pretty well the conditioner
    you shud try that

  3. I think that you lose most of your coloring through cleaning the hair- like with shampoo. Do not wash your hair excessively and always use a good color-treated shampoo…I like Tresemme. Conditioner should help retain your color. I would find a leave-in spray or regular conditioner with UV protection in it. Also always cover your hair when you can when you will be out in the sun. Sunlight is the worst for my color treated hair!
    PS I have been using the Garnier product that you were talkign about and have not noticed any fading from it.
