Tea Tree Color-Safe Shampoo for Color-Treated Hair, 10.14 fl. oz. — UV Protection & Cooling Tingle

Tea Tree Special Color Shampoo is a color-safe, invigorating shampoo that gently cleanses color-treated hair while helping preserve vibrancy and delivering the brand’s signature cooling tingle.

This salon-quality shampoo from Tea Tree (John Paul Mitchell Systems) combines peppermint and tea tree with rooibos botanicals and UV protection to remove everyday buildup without stripping dye. It leaves hair feeling refreshed, smelling bright with bergamot and orange blossom, and helps slow color fade from environmental stressors. The formula is designed for routine use on color-treated hair and balances a deep-clean sensation with gentle care.

How does this shampoo protect my hair color?

Special Color Shampoo uses rooibos tea botanicals and UV-protective ingredients to reduce the effects of sunlight and environmental exposure that can dull dye. It cleans without harsh surfactants that strip pigment, so color stays more vibrant between salon visits.

• Rooibos botanicals help shield hair from fading caused by the elements
• UV protection minimizes sun-induced color breakdown
• Formulated for gentle cleansing to preserve deposited dye

Will it leave my scalp feeling refreshed or dry?

The shampoo delivers Tea Tree’s recognizable cooling tingle from tea tree and peppermint, which invigorates the scalp without over-drying. The balance of cleansing and soothing ingredients refreshes and clarifies while maintaining scalp comfort for most hair types.

• Peppermint and tea tree provide a cooling, revitalizing sensation
• Gentle cleansing removes dirt and product buildup without harshness
• Suitable for routine use on color-treated scalps that tolerate botanical tingle

How should I use it for best results with color-treated hair?

Use on wet hair, lathering through roots to ends, and rinse thoroughly; follow with a color-safe conditioner for hydration. For optimal color retention, pair with other Tea Tree color-care products and minimize very hot water and prolonged sun exposure.

• Apply to wet hair, work into a gentle lather, then rinse
• Follow with a color-protecting conditioner to lock in moisture and shine
• Use regularly but avoid excessive hot-water exposure to preserve color

What fragrance and sensory experience can I expect?

The scent is a fresh, layered blend of airy bergamot, mint leaf and orange blossom that lifts the shower routine. Beyond fragrance, the formula adds shine and a crisp clean feeling so hair looks lively and vibrant after drying.

• Top notes of bergamot add a bright citrus clarity
• Mint leaf and peppermint contribute cooling freshness
• Orange blossom rounds the fragrance with a soft floral finish

Who is this for: Tea Tree Special Color Shampoo is intended for people with color-treated hair who want a salon-grade daily cleanser that removes buildup, refreshes the scalp with a cooling sensation, and helps protect dye from fading. It’s well suited to those who enjoy botanical fragrances and prefer products from professional haircare brands; if your scalp is sensitive to menthol or strong tingles, test a small amount first. Note: packaging may vary due to a current design update.
