Paul Mitchell Color Protect Shampoo 33.8 fl. oz — UV Protection, Gentle Daily Shine

Paul Mitchell Color Protect Shampoo is a daily cleanser formulated to preserve salon color while gently detangling and boosting shine.

Designed for color-treated hair, this professional-grade shampoo uses sunflower extract to help shield dyed strands from the fading effects of sun exposure while strengthening and smoothing the hair surface. Its bright citrus-apple fragrance leaves hair smelling fresh, and the large 33.8 fl. oz bottle is sized for frequent use at home or in the salon. Paul Mitchell also uses post-consumer recycled materials in its retail packaging, reflecting a commitment to improved recyclability.

How does this shampoo help keep color looking fresh?

The formula targets the common causes of fade—surface oxidation and UV exposure—by incorporating sunflower extract to help protect hair from sun-related color loss. It gently cleanses without stripping pigments, preserving vibrancy between salon visits.

• Sunflower extract for UV-related color protection
• Mild surfactants that remove buildup without over-drying
• Formulated specifically for color-treated strands to reduce fade

Will it make my hair feel soft and look shiny?

Yes—this shampoo detangles and smooths the hair cuticle, which enhances light reflection and gives a shinier appearance. Regular use helps hair look healthier and more vibrant without heavy silicones or waxy residues.

• Detangling action for easier combing and less breakage
• Cuticle-smoothing ingredients that increase surface shine
• Lightweight finish that avoids weighed-down hair

Is this suitable for daily use and all color types?

Formulated for everyday cleansing, the shampoo is gentle enough for frequent routines and compatible with most permanent and demi-permanent color services. It’s ideal for maintaining tone and brightness across a range of shades, though very delicate or recently processed hair should follow stylist guidance.

• Daily-use formulation for routine maintenance
• Works with permanent and semi-permanent colors
• Large 33.8 fl. oz size for regular at-home use or salon stations

What sustainability choices are included with the packaging?

Paul Mitchell has improved retail packaging by using post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials for bottles and jars, plus simplified caps and labels to support recycling efforts. This move reduces virgin plastic use while maintaining professional-grade presentation.

• Bottles and jars contain 50% PCR material (retail sizes)
• Tubes include 25% PCR material; pumps and some caps are virgin plastic
• Labels and low-profile caps designed for easier recyclability—check local rules

Who is this for? Paul Mitchell Color Protect Shampoo is best for people with color-treated hair who want a salon-quality daily cleanser that helps slow color fade, boosts shine, and detangles without heavy buildup. It suits anyone seeking a professional-grade product in a large, value-sized bottle—home users who color at home, clients maintaining salon color between appointments, and stylists who need a dependable shampoo for color care.
