Today I’m reviewing the Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo and Condition because I’m back to dark hair! Yes, for almost more than 3 years I had something going on with my hair: highlights, blonde, orange, pink and even gray hair. But two weeks ago when I was at my hairdresser I thought it was time to go back to my roots: black hair. Going from ashy blonde to black was maybe a very drastic change, so I took a baby step to go dark brown. A new hair color means a new hair routine as I don’t need any silver shampoo, but rather something that maintains the condition of my hair. That why I tried the famous Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo and Condition, a clean and natural hairbrand.
Pureology is a very unique and specific hair brand: they are specialized in colored and bleached hair only. They invested all their time and research in how to take care of hair that has been through a lot. Did you know that Pureology is also 100% vegan? Not tested on animals, no ingredients that are based out of animals and no sulfates! They also created an AntiFadeComplex into their hair products which contains UVA/UVB filters, vitamin C and E and Heliogenol to protect your hair color from the environment.
Strength Cure Shampoo
You know, shampoo is just shampoo. Well just let me tell you that the Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo is something totally different. Strength Cure Shampoo is created for dumb people like me who colored their hair too many times that it starts to fall out. Yes, I’m guilty of damaging my hair every 2/3 months. But now I went back to dark hair I will try not to bleach my hair for a year!
So why is the Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo so special? Pureology claims that after just one use your hair feels stronger and softer! It helps to repair the micro-scarred color-treated hair with the help their patented AntiFadeComplex. It keeps your hair in top condition every time you wash your hair while other shampoos might will change you color-treated hair.
How to use it? A lot of people like me get over excited when they apply shampoo, but you just need quarter-sized amount and apply it on wet hair and lather. Rinse and repeat if necessary.

Strenght Cure Condition
First of all, I got a little bit confused when I saw the name Condition instead of Conditioner on the bottle. The Pureology Strength Cure Condition is the second step after the shampoo and Pureology advices us to use this step to achieve better results. A condition(er) helps to detangle the hair and let it appear softer and reflecting the light. While it moisturizes the hair strands that are affected by heating tools, it also restores the elasticity and suppleness to make your hear feel and look healthier than ever before.
It sounds like a normal conditioner but just like the shampoo, it provides a special blend to protect the hair and keep the color just as it is. Wash after wash! And did I tell you that the products have an amazing blend of lavender, honey, vanilla and peach?

Having tried almost everything for my damaged hair (brands like OUAI, Olaplex, Nioxin etc) I’m here again to give the famous Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo and Condition to the test. Do I have high expectations? Yes, because I’ve seen literally every hair webshop selling their products and the claims they give make me excited.
I tried the Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo and Condition during my second wash after I went back to dark hair. My hair still felt dry and hard, which always happens when I just colored my hair. It is that kind of feeling like there is still some residue left in my hair of the hair coloring. The first thing I noticed is that the fragrance is very pleasant and not overwhelming, like a soft touch of honey and lavender which I absolutely love!
I washed my hair two times with the Strength Cure Shampoo just to be sure my hair was fully cleaned and rinsed well. Like I said before you only need a quarter-sized of shampoo to lather it on your hair. Even without any harmful ingredients or sulfates, the shampoo creates a beautiful soft foaming effect on my hair. When I rinse my hair I noticed that my hair feels instantly thicker! Such a weird feeling but I’m not joking you. I had this very bad period of hair falling out of my hair but here I am, my hair feels like it had 200 hair strands extra.
The Pureology Strength Condition was my next step and nothing was less than I expected. The moment I applied the condition in my hair, I could feel how my hair changed from normal to silky soft and smooth hair. No, it was not the condition in my hair because I could feel the hair strands change seconds after I applied it. When I rinsed it out my hair was looking shiny, healthy and felts smooth.
Do you also have this struggle when you just came out of the shower with wet hair and it feels so fragile? I never comb my hair directly when I come out of the shower, that is a no go for me. I first apply my Olaplex nr.6 and after 30 minutes I comb my hair with a wide comb. After I used the Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo and Condition and I felt that my hair was stronger, thicker and more able to handle more when it was wet.
I absolutely love the Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo and Condition! My hair feels great and does appears stronger after just one use. In the meanwhile I tried it 3 times and the effect doesn’t change (while other products might will show less the more you use it). For me it feels so great to finally found a great haircare that protects my hair, makes it stronger without using any harmful ingredients.
Is it something you need? Yes, otherwise you are missing out. If you have colored hair and you feel like your hair lacks strength and shine, this is your new must have! Pureology offers many different lines depending on your preference, like hydration and volume. Let me know when you tried it before and leave your experience in the comment section.
