Your regular shampoo is fading your color

Most shampoos have sulfates in them. Sulfates are harsh cleaners that strip the dye out of your hair a little more with every wash. That's why your color starts looking dull and washed out after just a few washes.

Polar's Color Protect Shampoo is built different.

We use five gentle, sulfate-free cleansers that get your hair clean without touching your color. Then color-locking polymers coat each strand to seal the dye in and stop it from washing out.

Your color stays richer. Your hair feels softer. And you go longer between touch-ups.

This isn't just another "sulfate-free" shampoo. It was made by the same brand that colors your hair — designed to protect exactly what you put in.
Step 1: Wet your hair thoroughly.

Step 2: Apply a small amount and massage into a lather from roots to ends.

Step 3: Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Use every time you wash your hair. Works as a full replacement for your regular shampoo.

Pro tip: For the best results, pair with your Polar Instant Dye Shampoo to keep your color looking fresh for longer.

Customer photo review of Color Protect Shampoo

My hair looks very much ginger not blonde. Is ok but not what I expected. Definitely looks better than my old hair. Didn’t cover greys at first time so I tried again and I can still see some greys. I can’t see this product to last for not than one more time. Not for curly, thick type of hair like mine. Unfortunately this colour is not blonde is ginger! I have ordered light brown now and I’m hoping to use it to cover what I have how as I don’t really like it

I bought the colour lock & conditioner & it works & lasts. Looking to buy another colour & between shampoo. The product is so gentle & easy to use. Will buy another colour soon to change up the streaks. I am terrible with dyes & colouring but this is a fun product. Arrived quickly to Australia

This a great product just change your fragrance. It smells like cheap hotel soap.

I tried box dyes, hair dresser and other products but nothing comes close to Polar Hair Care. It’s the best and will not indulge in any other hair dyes but this one. Seriously speaking, all the other dyes messed my hair up but not this one. I have 3C hair type and I have no regrets using this product. I have the hair conditioner also but I will purchase the shampoo when I order soon. A bottle of shampoo has lasted me more than 6 months because I keep my hair short. My hair isn’t damaged or dry and lifeless. Instead, it’s feel thicker and vibrant than when my hairdresser used his dye in my hair. My hair isn’t breaking and it’s full and well balanced. I use dark brown and I love it! I am going to try light brown and also buy the hair growing oil also. As a woman of color who uses this product. I am well pleased and I give this product an A+ and 100% thumbs up!

Shampoo is lovely

Nice

This is lovely shampoo it smells great and works very well

Love it!

I really like the look and feel of these products! Hair feels like silk, not like a haystack about the self immolate itself. I am so done with destructive old-school hair dye. Thank you Polar!

Very disappointed in the Polar color dye. It fades beginning the first wash, leaves a reddish color to your hair and scalp. Does not last 4-6 weeks at all.

Smells like cheap soap, foams way too much, leaves hair extremely dry/heavy

I use Polar on my beard and wanted something gentle to wash with that wouldn't strip the color out. This does the job perfectly. color holds up and my beard feels soft not wiry so good stuff

I bought the dye shampoo a few months ago and loved it but my color kept fading faster than I wanted. Got the Color Protect and it's like night and day. The two together just work. My medium brown hasn't looked this good this long since I started doing my own color at home. Don't sleep on this one.

its ok

Smells really nice, hair feels clean and soft, and my color still looks good going on week 3. No complaints at all :)

Love it!

ve tried other sulfate-free shampoos before and honestly didn't notice much difference. This one is different. I don't know if it's the oils or what but my hair feels healthier and my color isn't fading nearly as fast!!

Simple. Easy. Does what it says. My color stays looking good longer. That's all I needed.

Adding this in between has been a game changer. My color holds up way better and my hair doesn't feel dry or straw-like anymore. It lathers nice too which I wasn't expecting from a sulfate-free shampoo. Highly recommend!

My hair has never felt this soft after coloring

I've been using Polar dye shampoo for about 6 months and my only complaint was how fast the color would fade. Started using this about 3 weeks ago and I can already tell a huge difference. My color still looks fresh. Wish I had this from the start.

I didn't realize my regular shampoo was the problem until I switched to this. My dark brown Polar color used to start looking dull after about a week and a half. Now I'm going 3+ weeks and it still looks rich. Hair feels super soft too. Love it.
