most colour shampoos are actually just moisturizing unless they say they are colour depositing...

Find a gentle pH balanced shampoo and then a light moisturizing conditioner that has SPF in it. The sun is a big factor in fading...

as for static, find a hair serum/shine serum with silicones (look for one with only a few if you have fine hair, more for thicker hair) and smooth that on either wet hair or dry hair...and that should help

L'Oreal Professionel Vitamino Color shampoo is often top rated on various beauty sites and it's really gentle on coloured hair.

thanks for the replies
yes i wanted the l'oreal one but couldn't find it

ended up going for a redken smooth down
recomended by the hairdresser after she had a good inspection of my hair

have to see what its like
ive been using pantene for as long as i can remember so this will be a BIG change
(yes i know all about evil pantene lol)

Also, try to shampoo less. Like, both use less shampoo (dilute with water in hands) and don't shampoo everyday. Shampoo tends to fade colours more than conditioner does.
