Paul Mitchell Color Protect Shampoo for Color-Treated Hair — 16.9 fl oz, UV Defense & Shine

Paul Mitchell Color Protect Shampoo gently cleanses color-treated hair while helping reduce color fade and boosting shine.

This daily shampoo is formulated for hair that's been dyed or highlighted. Infused with sunflower extract, it helps defend strands from UV-related fading while leaving hair feeling clean and looking glossy. The scent combines bright citrus and fruit notes for a fresh salon-like wash, and the packaging uses post-consumer recycled materials to support sustainability initiatives.

How does this shampoo help preserve salon color?

The formula cleans without stripping pigments, so color stays truer between appointments. Sunflower extract helps shield hair from UV exposure that can accelerate fading, while conditioning agents smooth the cuticle to reflect light.

• Gentle cleansing agents that remove buildup but are not overly harsh
• Sunflower-derived ingredients to reduce UV-related color loss
• Smoothing components that enhance shine for more vivid color appearance

Will it work for all types of color-treated hair?

Yes — it’s suitable for permanently colored, highlighted, lowlighted, or color-corrected hair. The daily-use formula is balanced to support different color services without weighing hair down.

• Safe for processed and chemically treated hair types
• Light enough for fine hair, conditioning enough for thicker textures
• Formulated to be used as part of a daily color-care routine

How should I use it for best results?

Wet hair thoroughly, apply a small amount and lather through roots to ends, then rinse. Follow with a color-safe conditioner or treatment for added moisture and protection.

• Use every wash to gently remove residue and refresh color
• Pair with Paul Mitchell Color Protect conditioner for optimum results
• Rinse well and avoid very hot water to preserve color longevity

What sustainability features does the bottle offer?

The retail bottle uses post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics to lower environmental impact. Caps and labels are designed to make recycling easier, though local facilities may vary.

• Bottles and jars are made with 50% PCR material
• Tubes contain 25% PCR material (retail sizes)
• Labels and low-profile caps engineered for improved recyclability

Who is this for? Paul Mitchell Color Protect Shampoo is intended for anyone with color-treated hair who wants a gentle daily cleanser that supports color longevity and adds shine. It suits clients who prefer salon-quality products with a fresh fragrance and a focus on more recyclable packaging.
