Joico K-PAK Colour Therapy Colour-Protecting Shampoo 299 ml — Sulfate-Free, Keratin & Argan Oil for Colour-Treated Hair

This shampoo targets the needs of color-treated hair by combining gentle surfactants with reparative ingredients like keratin, argan oil, and African manketti oil. It creates a rich lather that cleans without stripping dye molecules, and releases conditioning actives over time to help improve elasticity and shine. Lab results show substantial color retention when used in a color-care regimen, and the blend of antioxidants helps shield hair from environmental stressors that accelerate fading.

How does this shampoo protect color between salon visits?

Formulated to minimize pigment loss, the shampoo uses antioxidant-rich oils and a mild cleansing system so color molecules stay anchored longer. Repeated use reduces the speed of visible fading compared with harsher clarifying cleansers.

• Contains African manketti and argan oils that help guard against oxidative fading.
• Maintains a high percentage of color after multiple washes in lab testing.
• Gentle surfactants remove dirt without aggressive dye stripping.

Will it help repair breakage and improve hair strength?

Yes — keratin and Joico’s SmartRelease delivery system work together to replenish lost proteins and continuously release reparative ingredients. Over time, hair feels more resilient and combing breakage is reduced when used with the matching conditioner.

• Keratin seeks out and rebuilds damaged areas for stronger strands.
• SmartRelease liposomes deliver keratin, arginine, and rosehip oil gradually.
• Paired use with K-PAK Color Therapy Conditioner enhances breakage protection.

What sensory and practical benefits will I notice after using it?

The shampoo produces a luxurious foam and leaves hair feeling cleaner, smoother, and shinier without weighing color-treated hair down. Its lightweight conditioning effect improves manageability while supporting a healthier appearance.

• Luscious lather for an enjoyable wash experience.
• Argan oil delivers hydration and visible shine without greasiness.
• Improved elasticity and smoother texture after repeated use.

Is it suitable for daily use and for hair exposed to hard water or pollution?

The formula is safe for frequent use on color-treated hair and helps detoxify strands affected by minerals, chlorine, and environmental pollutants. It’s been evaluated for protection against particulate pollution, making it appropriate for city dwellers and active lifestyles.

• Clarifies mineral buildup, chlorine residues, and urban pollutants.
• Designed to be gentle enough for repeated washes when needed.
• Supports longer-lasting color and healthier-looking hair in challenging environments.

Who is this for? Joico K-PAK Color Therapy Color-Protecting Shampoo is aimed at anyone with color-treated or highlighted hair who wants to preserve shade vibrancy, reduce breakage, and improve smoothness and shine. It’s especially beneficial for people exposed to hard water, frequent styling, or pollution, and for those who use salon color regularly and want a home-care product that supports professional results.
