1. Wet your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water.
2. Apply a generous amount of shampoo to your wet hair, massage well, then rinse out.
3. Repeat if your hair is very dirty or after using multiple products.
4. Rinse thoroughly until no foam remains in your hair.
5. Follow with a conditioner or treatment for best results.

Pair the shampoo with the Clean Beauty Color Protect Conditioner for maximum colour retention. The conditioner complements the shampoo by making your hair easier to comb and adding extra shine to your colour.

Your colour lasts longer because pomegranate extract neutralises free radicals. These free radicals are a key cause of colour fading from sunlight and pollution. Borage oil, extracted from the seeds of the borage plant, replenishes moisture and gives your hair a visible shine. Together, they help coloured hair look fresh for longer. If you’re also looking for an eco-friendly shampoo for coloured hair, this is a smart choice: 83% of the formula’s ingredients are naturally sourced and the bottle is made from sugarcane. A great choice for your hair and your conscience. See the full range of Paul Mitchell.

Yes, this shampoo contains no SLS, SLES or ALS. These are the harsh Siive sulphates that speed up colour fading and can dry out your hair.

The shampoo cleans with a gentler system that cleans your hair without directly attacking colour molecules. Most people with coloured hair notice a difference after a few weeks of use.

Most people can use it two to three times a week. Your hair will feel clean but not dry.

If your hair is already very dry or damaged, daily washing might cause some dryness. This is due to the type of cleanser used, which is thorough but can feel heavier with daily use on dry hair. In that case, use the Clean Beauty Color Protect Leave-In Treatment after washing for extra hydration.

Yes, the entire Clean Beauty line from Paul Mitchell is Vegan and cruelty-free. No animal ingredients are used and no animal testing takes place.

Paul Mitchell has committed to cruelty-free practices for decades. The Clean Beauty line takes it further with a focus on sustainable packaging and naturally sourced ingredients.

If you have coloured hair and want to keep your colour looking great for longer, the Paul Mitchell Clean Beauty Color Protect Shampoo is a solid option. It’s also ideal if you want to choose a product with fewer synthetic ingredients and more sustainable packaging. Wondering if the Paul Mitchell Clean Beauty Color Protect Shampoo is good for red dyed hair? Red and copper tones fade fastest of all. The antioxidants in this shampoo help slow that process, though no guarantee your colour will last forever.

If your coloured hair is also seriously damaged, the Paul Mitchell Clean Beauty Repair Shampoo is a better option. That one focuses on restoring hair structure, while the Color Protect variant targets shine and colour retention. If you have a sensitive scalp and react to fragrance, this product may be less suitable since the formula contains scent. In that case, check out the coloured hair shampoos for alternatives.
