"I love the Paul Mitchell products. I have been using a supermarket brand because my life had become very hectic and I didnt get around to ordering more of the Paul Mitchell stuff. I couldnt believe how quickly it all came, it was here the next day!! I ordered double and qualified for free delivery. So so glad to have my good brand back. My hair loves it. Cheers, Paula." - Paula

Why You’ll love it

Keep your salon colour looking bright long after you leave the chair.

Helps reduce dullness so coloured strands appear clearer and shinier.

Light, creamy lather cleans without leaving hair flat or coated.

Fresh, subtle fragrance makes everyday washing feel a little more special.

Description

Paul Mitchell Color Protect Shampoo is a gentle daily cleanser that helps keep colour looking fresh.

This lightweight shampoo carefully washes away build-up while helping to shield hair from sun damage and dulling. A small amount lathers into a soft, creamy foam that feels smooth between your fingers and rinses clean without heaviness.

Hair feels light, refreshed, and easier to comb, with coloured strands looking brighter and less faded. The scent is clean and salon-fresh, turning a quick shower into a small, calming ritual.

Ideal for anyone with coloured or highlighted hair who wants to stretch time between salon visits. Use it whenever you wash to help your colour stay shiny and more vibrant day after day.
