Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo is a sulfate-free, vegan shampoo formulated for damaged and color-treated hair, built around Pureology's Keravis (a hydrolyzed vegetable protein) and astaxanthin (an antioxidant derived from Haematococcus pluvialis algae) to help fortify strands weakened by heat, chemical services, or color processing.

The cleansing base uses gentle, sulfate-free surfactants — sodium cocoyl isethionate, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, coco-betaine — in place of sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, so it lathers more mildly than a typical drugstore shampoo. Pureology's Antifade Complex, which includes a UV filter, is layered in to help slow color fading, and the formula carries the brand's signature raspberry, peach, and water-flower scent.

It's a rich, protein-forward formula best suited to hair that's genuinely damaged, chemically processed, or color-treated; fine, oily, or minimally processed hair may find it heavier than needed.

Formulated for chemically damaged and/or color-treated hair — bleached, highlighted, permed, relaxed, or otherwise brittle hair — of any length, and marketed by Pureology as suitable for any gender. Because it's a rich, reconstructive formula, it suits hair that genuinely needs strengthening and color protection more than fine, naturally oily, or lightly processed hair, which may prefer a lighter cleanser. Also relevant to anyone specifically avoiding sulfates or animal-derived ingredients.

What sets it apart from a generic "repair" shampoo is that it's doing two jobs at once: Keravis protein works to reinforce the hair's internal structure and cuticle, while the Antifade Complex's UV filter is specifically there to slow the fading caused by sun exposure, not just washing — so it addresses both structural damage and color fade in the same wash step, using a sulfate-free base that won't strip the color it's protecting.

Apply a quarter-sized amount to wet hair and work into a lather, focusing on scalp and lengths; rinse thoroughly and repeat if needed. Follow with Pureology Strength Cure Conditioner (sold separately) for the full system. Because the formula is sulfate-free, it may take a wash or two to build a lather that feels as thick as a sulfate shampoo's.

Pros: sulfate-free cleansing base is gentler on color and chemically treated hair than an SLS/SLES shampoo; Antifade Complex with a built-in UV filter directly targets fade prevention rather than just cleansing; vegan formulation, with no animal-derived ingredients apparent in the ingredient list.

Cons: premium price point per volume versus mass-market repair shampoos; the protein/conditioning-forward formula can feel heavier on fine or naturally oily hair that isn't actually damaged; full benefit depends on pairing with the matching Strength Cure conditioner and treatment, sold separately.
