Best I've ever used
I've been professionally coloring for 30 years. This is by far the best shampoo I've found for color treated hair. And I've tried shampoos at TWICE the price. It cleans thoroughly yet gently and give nice body. Some color shampoos are so weak they leave an itchy film. Not so Paul Mitchell. Love it

Removes haircolor and greasy feel
I was recommended this product after they used it at super cuts. I got my hair colored and bought it since it says it helps color treated hair last longer. Within a week it began stripping the hair color each time I would used it. Then it left my hair greasy. People we're asking when I last washed m...

Wouldn't but again
while my hair visibly looks good, it left a greasy waxy feel to my hair no matter how well I rinsed my hair.
Does NOT protect hair color
This shampoo contains sulfates. Sulfates are highly known to damage hair color, so why they would put this in a "color protect" shampoo is beyond me. This shampoo dried my hair out so much, and ruined my bayalage highlights. I noticed that my hightlights became brassy much faster than normal, and did some research on this shampoo and founf it to contain sulfates. Needless to say, I will not be using this shampoo any longer. I highly recommend Olaplex. My hair is incredibly soft, feels thicker, and is protecting my color wonderfully. All in under just 5 uses.
Yes I have purchased it twice

It works well for my red color
Awful! Would NOT recommend!!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I bought this after recently having my hair colored. Bought this because of high reviews and name brand. Glad I only bought the small bottles of this and the conditioner. It leaves a nasty residue in your hair feeling greasy or like dry shampoo residue.

🌟 Review: Paul Mitchell Shampoo 🌟 I've been using Paul Mitchell shampoo for a while now, and I can confidently say it's one of the best hair care products I've tried! 💆♀️✨ From the very first wash, my hair felt clean, refreshed, and noticeably softer. The formula lathers beautifully, has a fresh, salon-quality scent, and rinses out easily without leaving any residue. What I love most is how gentle it is—even with regular use, it doesn't dry out my scalp or hair. Whether you're dealing with dryness, oiliness, or just want a reliable everyday shampoo, Paul Mitchell has a formula that suits just about every hair type. Bonus points for being cruelty-free 🐰 and made with high-quality ingredients. My hair feels healthier, shinier, and easier to manage, and I've even received compliments on how nice it looks! Highly recommend this shampoo to anyone looking for a trusted, salon-grade product that really delivers. 💛

How can this product be used for color treated hair if it contains sulfates? I color my hair with a semi permanent product - will this shampoo be safe to use or will it strip the color?

- Q
why don't you make this shampoo sulfate free (not sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate - it's too rough on hair), and take out the dimethicone/silicone (because it really flattens hair), and make it a little thicker, especially the larger bottles (because it's too runny)? leave the other ingredients the way they are, and you would have the best shampoo for color treated hair out there!
- Asked by Cricket
