- 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
- Official Answer By Paul MitchellThank you for your feedback. You may enjoy Clean Beauty Everyday Shampoo. It is sulfate free and great for a color safe, everyday cleanser.

- Q
Why would you put Sulfates in a Color Protect shampoo?
- Asked by terri
- Official Answer By Paul MitchellWhen a product claims to be “sulfate-free,” it's typically free of one of three commonly used compounds in shampoo: Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, or Ammonium Laureth Sulfate. In the industry, these compounds are known by the acronyms SLES, SLS, and ALS.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
What does the shampoo smell like?
- Asked by Kenia
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertA young-at-heart and refreshingly energetic fruity floral with opening notes of apple blossoms, bright citrus notes with crisp leafy greens and bergamot leading the way into a heart combining golden lilies, gardenia, violet leaves and soft wild flowers. A fresh, yet warm and subtle green quality characterizes the base of galbanum, jasmine, and musk.Was this answer helpful to you

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...

Not for me
I have very long colored blonde hair, i have used some paul Mitchel in the past, specifically the clean version. My hair seemed fine, but i was also in hawaii and left my hair naturally wavy. This left my hair so dry and frizzy, i used the conditioner and gloss serum, my hair felt awful. I returned it immediately. I will stick to pureology.
Yes buy this all the time
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
Love this shampoo
Greasy/Filmy Feel
Hair Type Wavy Hair
Like others have mentioned, this product leaves your hair feeling greasy. I used to love this product and have only noticed the change recently. Will no longer purchase this product.
Wouldn't recommend
Made it much harder to detangle hair, felt super dry and limp after every wash. No amount of the conditioner helped.
Worst Color Protect Shampoo Ever!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
Paul Mitchell ColorProtect Shampoo leaves a film on your hair that makes it difficult to comb, brush, and style. No matter what styling products I used, my hair looked like a wig with this shampoo. Horrible is an understatement.
