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

This lightweight shampoo is designed for people who color their hair and want a simple daily routine to keep tones vibrant. Formulated with sunflower extract, it targets environmental stressors that can dull dyed hair while delivering a refreshing citrus-apple fragrance. The formula cleans without stripping, leaving strands feeling soft and looking luminous.

How does this shampoo help keep my color from fading?

The formula contains sunflower extract that helps defend hair pigments against UV-related fading and oxidative stress. Regular use helps maintain visible color depth so salon hues last longer between touch-ups.

• Sunflower extract protects hair from sun-induced color loss
• Gentle surfactants cleanse without removing pigment
• Daily-use texture suitable for frequent washing

Will it add shine without weighing hair down?

Yes — the shampoo is balanced to lift dirt and product residues while smoothing cuticle surfaces that reflect light. It enhances shine without leaving heavy buildup, preserving movement and body.

• Light-conditioning finish for natural-looking gloss
• Formulation avoids oily residue that can flatten hair
• Leaves hair manageable for styling after wash

Is this suitable for daily use and all color-treated types?

Designed as a daily cleanser, it works for a wide range of color-treated hair — from highlights to all-over color. Its mild cleansing action makes it a practical choice for frequent washing schedules.

• Safe for highlighted, balayage, and permanent color
• Balanced for normal to processed textures
• Use with a Paul Mitchell color-safe conditioner for best results

What else should I know about the packaging and scent?

Paul Mitchell updated its retail packaging to include post-consumer recycled content and low-profile caps to support recyclability where accepted. The scent blends bright orange, crisp apple, and bergamot for an energetic finish.

• Bottles contain post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials in retail sizes
• Low-profile caps and labels designed for easier recycling
• Refreshing citrus-apple fragrance for a clean, lively wash

Who is this for: This shampoo is intended for anyone with color-treated hair who wants a reliable daily cleanser that helps slow color fade, increases shine, and supports salon-finished results. It’s especially useful for people who wash frequently, spend time outdoors, or prefer lightweight, non-greasy hair care that complements professional coloring services.
