Why we rate it

The everyday shampoo for coloured hair in Paul Mitchell's Color Protect range. It cleanses while sunflower extract helps protect against sun-related colour fade, and it leaves hair shiny and healthy-looking between appointments. Massage it into wet hair, rinse, and follow with Color Protect Conditioner; the Locking Spray finishes the routine. Washing in lukewarm rather than hot water helps your colour too. The scent is orange, apple and bergamot.

Stylist’s tip

Focus the shampoo on your scalp, where oil and product build up, and let the lather clean the lengths as you rinse. If you’ve used a lot of styling product, two smaller washes usually clean better than one big one.

Frequently asked questions

Does Paul Mitchell Color Protect Shampoo help stop colour fading?

It's made for coloured hair: sunflower extract helps protect against sun-related colour fade, and it leaves hair shiny and healthy-looking. Washing in lukewarm rather than hot water and following with Color Protect Conditioner both help your colour last.

What sizes does Paul Mitchell Color Protect Shampoo come in?

75 ml, 300 ml, 500 ml and 1 litre. The 75 ml suits travel or a first try, and the Paul Mitchell Litre Bottle Pump fits the litre bottle.

Should I use Color Protect Shampoo and Conditioner together?

Yes. They're made as a pair: wash with Color Protect Shampoo, then follow with Color Protect Conditioner. The Color Protect Locking Spray, used on damp hair, finishes the routine.

Is Color Protect Shampoo sulphate-free?

No. The classic Color Protect Shampoo contains ammonium lauryl sulphate, so it isn't sulphate-free. Clean Beauty Color Protect Shampoo is the colour-care shampoo to look at if that matters to you.
