Pureology was founded in 2001 with a singular mission: create the most effective sulfate-free shampoo for color-treated hair. Over two decades later, the brand's ZeroSulfate® formulas and AntiFade Complex™ remain the professional standard for clients who want to protect their color investment between appointments. Every Pureology product is 100% vegan, highly concentrated, and designed specifically to extend the life of salon color.
The range covers every color-treated hair need — from HydraSurge for intense moisture replenishment to Strength Cure for rebuilding bond-compromised strands, and Smooth Perfection for taming frizz without sulfates. Pureology's concentrated formulas use fewer washes per bottle and deliver a richer lather from a smaller amount, making them economical despite their premium positioning.
At ProHair.ca, we carry the complete Pureology lineup because we know that color-treated hair clients deserve the best. From daily shampoos and conditioners to intensive treatments and styling, Pureology covers every step of the post-color routine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Pureology sulfate-free important for color-treated hair?
Sulfates are powerful surfactants that strip color molecules along with dirt and oil. Sulfate-free formulas like Pureology's ZeroSulfate® system clean hair gently while leaving color pigment in place — extending your color vibrancy by up to twice as long compared to regular shampoos.
Which Pureology line is best for bleached hair?
Strength Cure is designed specifically for bleached and heavily chemically treated hair. It contains Astaxanthin (a powerful antioxidant) and concentrated repair actives that target the structural damage bleach causes. Pair with the Strength Cure Superfood Mask for maximum repair.
Is Pureology really concentrated?
Yes — Pureology formulas are typically 2–3x more concentrated than regular shampoos. You need a smaller amount per wash, meaning a bottle lasts significantly longer. The brand advises using the size of a quarter for short hair and a loonie for long hair.
What is the difference between Hydrate and HydraSurge?
Hydrate is Pureology's everyday moisture line for normal to dry color-treated hair. HydraSurge goes deeper — it includes Hyaluronic Acid for intense moisture replenishment and is designed for severely dry or parched color-treated hair. If your hair feels constantly thirsty despite conditioning, step up to HydraSurge.
Can Pureology be used on non-color-treated hair?
Absolutely. Pureology's sulfate-free, vegan formulas are gentle enough for any hair type. Many clients without color simply love the quality of the ingredients and the way their hair feels. The AntiFade Complex does no harm to natural hair.
Is Pureology tested on animals?
No — Pureology is 100% cruelty-free and PETA-certified. No animal testing at any stage of development or production. All formulas are also 100% vegan with no animal-derived ingredients.
How does Pureology Nano Works Gold differ from regular Pureology?
Nano Works Gold is Pureology's prestige line featuring gold nanoparticles that penetrate deeper into the hair shaft for more intensive repair and luminosity. It targets "aging hair" concerns — loss of elasticity, thickness, and shine over time — making it ideal for mature color clients looking for premium hair care.
