ion Color Defense Shampoo — Sulfate-Free Vegan Color Protection, Restores Shine

ion Color Defense Shampoo gently cleanses and protects color-treated hair to extend vibrancy while restoring shine.

Formulated for salon-colored and at-home dyed hair, ion Color Defense Shampoo removes dirt and buildup without stripping pigments. This sulfate-free, vegan shampoo is designed to help maintain color intensity and leave hair looking glossy and healthy. Its lightweight cleansing base preserves color-treated strands and supports everyday manageability for all hair types.

How does this shampoo protect color during regular washing?

The formula avoids harsh sulfates and common irritants that can fade dye, instead using milder surfactants to lift oils and residues while minimizing pigment loss. It balances cleansing strength with gentleness to keep color longer between touch-ups.

• Free of gluten, alcohol, phthalates, soy, and parabens to reduce aggressive stripping
• Sulfate-free surfactants that cleanse without over-drying
• Designed for frequent use without dulling color

Will ion Color Defense Shampoo work for my hair type?

Yes — it’s formulated to be compatible with all types of color-treated hair, from fine to thick and straight to curly. The gentle cleansing supports both delicate, low-porosity hair and denser, more porous hair that can absorb color quickly.

• Suitable for highlighted, balayage, single-process, and vivid colors
• Lightweight feel prevents weighing down fine hair
• Helps maintain shine and manageability on coarse or textured hair

How should I use this shampoo for best results?

Wet hair thoroughly, apply a small amount, and gently massage the scalp to create a lather that cleanses without tangling. Rinse well and follow with your preferred conditioner or ion Color Defense conditioner for added moisture and protection.

• Use 2–3 times per week for color preservation; adjust frequency by oiliness and styling needs
• Pair with ion Color Defense conditioner for enhanced color longevity and softness
• Rinse with cooler water to help seal the cuticle and retain pigment
