- Q
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?
- Asked by Confused about sulfates
- Official Answer By Paul Mitchell - Brand EngageWith certain formulas, sulfates can still be gentle on color-treated hair. Color-safe shampoos are specially formulated with ingredients to help keep your color vibrant while cleansing effectively.

- 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!

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...

🌟 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. 💛
