Which type of shampoo is least likely to remove artificial color from hair?

Nonstripping
Color-enhancing
Daily use
Moisturizing

The correct answer is: Nonstripping

Nonstripping shampoos are specifically formulated to be gentle and to preserve hair color while cleaning the strands. This type of shampoo typically has a milder formulation that avoids harsh sulfates and other cleansing agents that can lead to the fading of artificial color. As a result, nons stripping shampoos help maintain the vibrancy of color-treated hair by minimizing the amount of color that washes out during cleansing. Daily use shampoos, on the other hand, are designed for frequent washing and may contain stronger cleansing agents, which can strip away color over time. Color-enhancing shampoos often contain pigments intended to boost or refresh artificial color, which, although beneficial for enhancing hue, can also lead to some color removal when rinsed out. Moisturizing shampoos might be rich in conditioning agents, but they do not specifically focus on protecting color. Therefore, nons stripping shampoos are the best option for preventing the loss of artificial color, making them the least likely to remove it from the hair.
