Sulfate-free shampoo for bleached or highlighted hair
Bleached hair gets the same list. There weren't enough products that say "bleached" specifically to make a separate page, so each product here is labelled by its brand as for blonde, bleached or highlighted hair. Only want toners? See sulfate free purple shampoo.

Questions
Do I need a purple shampoo for blonde hair?
Only if you want to cut yellow or brassy tones. Purple shampoos add violet pigment that cancels warm tones. Non-purple options here say they're suitable for blonde or bleached hair without toning it.
Is it safe for bleached hair?
Each product here is described by its brand as suitable for blonde, bleached or highlighted hair. Bleached hair is more fragile, so gentle cleansers and a conditioner make sense.
What is the best sulfate free shampoo for blonde hair?
There's no single best one. All 10 listed here have no sulfates on the ingredient list, and the brand describes each as suited to this use. Start with the ones checked on the brand page, then compare cleansers and fragrance.
How do I know a shampoo is really sulfate-free?
Read the ingredient list, not the front label. Look for any ingredient ending in 'sulfate' (lauryl, laureth, coco-sulfate and so on). Sulfonates and sulfosuccinates are different ingredients.
Do you test these products?
No. We check ingredient lists and what the brand says the product is for, not how it performs.
