Your colour deserves a shampoo that won't work against it. Get a gentle, colour-supportive cleanse that leaves hair softer, not stripped.

Colour-treated hair has a different relationship with shampooing than untreated hair. The chemical processes involved in colouring, whether permanent, semi-permanent, toning, or highlights, alter the hair's structure and leave it more porous and vulnerable to moisture loss. A shampoo formulated for normal hair strips colour-treated lengths harder than necessary, accelerates fading, and leaves hair feeling progressively drier and rougher with each wash.

The Craft Colour System Shampoo is formulated with colour-treated hair's specific needs in mind. A mild, colour-supportive cleansing base removes daily buildup gently without the aggressive surfactant load that strips natural oils along with colour pigment. Olive Fruit Oil and Aloe Vera nourish and condition during the wash. Panthenol strengthens the shaft. Allantoin softens and soothes. And Dimethiconol adds the first layer of smoothing gloss before the conditioner is even applied.

This is the cleanse your colour needs, thorough enough to be effective, gentle enough to protect what you've invested in at the salon.

Colour System Shampoo works best in a 2-step colour-care routine

The shampoo cleanses, but it is the step that follows that completes the colour-care routine. For softer, glossier, more manageable colour-treated hair, pair this shampoo with the Craft Colour System Conditioner every wash day:

  • Step 1 - Cleanse: The Craft Colour System Shampoo gently removes daily buildup while conditioning during the wash, leaving colour-treated hair clean, soft, and primed for the conditioner.
  • Step 2 - Condition: The Craft Colour System Conditioner seals and smooths the cuticle, restores gloss, and delivers the salon-polished finish that makes the difference between clean hair and great-feeling hair.

Want to support your scalp alongside your colour care? Adding the BioScalp Advanced Scalp Tonic as a daily leave-in nourishes the scalp and follicles throughout the day, working alongside the Colour System at the root level.

Get both steps in one: Craft Colour System Shampoo and Conditioner Set

This routine is especially suitable after temporary or permanent colouring or highlighting services, when the hair needs help staying soft, glossy, and polished.

Who This Is For

The Craft Colour System Shampoo is designed for anyone with colour-treated, highlighted, toned, or bleached hair who wants a daily shampoo that cleans effectively without accelerating colour fade or leaving hair dry and rough. It is particularly suited to:

  • Colour-treated, permanently or semi-permanently coloured, and highlighted hair
  • Hair that feels increasingly dry, brittle, or rough after repeated washing
  • Those who notice their colour fades quickly between appointments and want to extend its freshness
  • Fine or normal hair that needs a lightweight, conditioning cleanse without heavy product buildup
  • Anyone looking for a shampoo that works in step with the Craft Colour System Conditioner for a complete colour-care routine

Why Colour-Treated Hair Needs a Dedicated Shampoo

Standard shampoos are designed to clean hair efficiently, and many use high concentrations of strong surfactants to do so. For colour-treated hair, this efficiency comes at a cost. The same surfactants that strip oil and product buildup from the scalp also act on the altered, more porous structure of coloured hair: swelling the shaft, lifting the already-disrupted cuticle further, and accelerating the leaching of colour molecules that causes fading.

A colour-specific shampoo uses a milder surfactant system calibrated to remove daily impurities without over-stripping. It supports the cuticle rather than working against it, and incorporates conditioning and nourishing ingredients that replenish what colour processing depletes. The difference in how the hair looks and feels after washing, and how long the colour remains vibrant between appointments, is the result of that formulation difference.

How It Works

  • Mild colour-supportive cleansing base (Ammonium Lauryl Sulphate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide DEA, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, TEA-Dodecylbenzenesulphonate): A five-surfactant blend calibrated to cleanse effectively while minimising the stripping effect on colour-treated hair. The combination of primary surfactants and mild amphoteric co-surfactants produces a rich lather that lifts oil and buildup without the aggressive cuticle disruption of a standard clarifying shampoo.
  • Dimethiconol: A lightweight silicone smoothing agent that deposits onto the hair during the wash, beginning the process of cuticle smoothing and gloss enhancement before rinsing, leaving the hair feeling noticeably softer from the moment it is towel-dried.
  • Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Penetrates the hair shaft to improve moisture retention, elasticity, and strength, helping colour-treated hair become progressively more resilient and less prone to breakage with regular use.
  • Olive Fruit Oil (Olea europaea fruit oil): A nourishing botanical oil rich in fatty acids and polyphenols that replenishes the natural lipids stripped by colour processing, improving surface softness and adding a natural conditioning quality to the cleanse.
  • Aloe Vera Leaf Juice (Aloe barbadensis leaf juice): Provides lightweight hydration during washing, supporting moisture balance in colour-treated hair that is prone to dryness. It also helps keep the scalp comfortable and settled throughout the cleanse.
  • Allantoin: A skin- and hair-soothing active that helps soften the hair surface, calm scalp sensitivity, and improve the overall comfort of washing for hair and scalps that have been sensitised by colour treatments.
  • Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride: A plant-derived conditioning agent from guar bean that deposits on the hair during rinsing to reduce friction, improve detangling, and leave the hair feeling smoother and easier to manage.
  • Glycol Distearate: A pearlescent ingredient that gives the shampoo its signature creamy appearance while also contributing a soft, smoothing effect on the hair surface.

Key Ingredients

  • Mild 5-surfactant cleansing blend: effective cleanse without over-stripping
  • Dimethiconol: lightweight silicone smoothing and gloss
  • Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): strength, moisture, and elasticity
  • Olive Fruit Oil: nourishment and natural conditioning
  • Aloe Vera Leaf Juice: lightweight hydration and scalp comfort
  • Allantoin: soothing, scalp and hair comfort
  • Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride: plant-derived detangling and smoothing

The Craft Colour System Routine

The Colour System Shampoo is Step 1 in the Craft Colour System, a 2-step wash-day routine designed to cleanse and condition colour-treated hair in sequence for the best combined result.

  • Step 1 - Craft Colour System Shampoo (this product): Gently lifts away daily oil, product buildup, and environmental impurities while conditioning the hair during the wash. Olive Fruit Oil, Aloe Vera, and Panthenol lay the groundwork for softness and manageability, and Dimethiconol begins smoothing the cuticle before you even rinse.
  • Step 2 - Craft Colour System Conditioner: Seals and smooths the cuticle, restores gloss and softness, and completes the colour-care routine. This is the step that delivers the salon-polished feel and ensures the hair is conditioned and protected as well as clean.

Want both steps together? The Craft Colour System Shampoo and Conditioner Set includes both products at a saving, everything needed for the complete colour-care routine.

For best results, use consistently after every wash throughout the life of your colour treatment.

How to Use

  1. Wet hair thoroughly.
  2. Apply the Colour System Shampoo to the scalp and work through the lengths with fingertips.
  3. Massage gently into the scalp in circular motions to lift buildup and stimulate circulation - a silicone scalp brush can improve lather distribution and scalp contact.
  4. Rinse thoroughly.
  5. Follow immediately with the Craft Colour System Conditioner through the mid-lengths and ends for the complete routine.

For best results, aim to use consistently as part of every wash-day routine throughout the life of your colour.

What a colour-specific shampoo actually changes

From faded and rough to vibrant, soft, and salon-fresh

Before: colour that fades faster than expected, hair that feels progressively drier and rougher with each wash, and a scalp that never quite feels balanced after shampooing. After: a noticeably gentler cleanse that leaves hair softer and more manageable from the moment it is towel-dried, colour that stays brighter and more vibrant between appointments, and a scalp that feels clean and comfortable rather than tight and stripped. With consistent use as part of the 2-step routine, the cumulative improvement in softness, shine, and colour longevity becomes increasingly noticeable over time.

Did You Know

Colour fade is not just about sunlight or how often you wash your hair; it is significantly influenced by the pH of the products you use on it. Most standard shampoos have a relatively high pH, which causes the hair cuticle to swell and open during washing, allowing colour molecules to escape more easily with each rinse. Colour-specific shampoos are formulated to work at a lower, more hair-compatible pH, keeping the cuticle more compact during the cleanse and reducing the rate at which colour pigment is lost. The Craft Colour System Shampoo is designed with this in mind, using a mild surfactant blend and conditioning agents that clean effectively while keeping the hair's surface structure as settled and intact as possible, so more of your colour stays where it belongs, for longer.

    Protects your colour

    A colour-supportive surfactant blend that lifts away daily oil, buildup, and impurities without the aggressive stripping that causes colour pigment to leach out prematurely. Used consistently, it helps extend the vibrancy and freshness of your colour between salon appointments, making the most of the investment you have made in your hair.

    Olive Fruit Oil, Aloe Vera Leaf Juice, Panthenol, and Dimethiconol work together within the shampoo itself to begin conditioning and smoothing the hair during the cleanse, so hair feels noticeably softer and more manageable from the very first rinse, before the conditioner is even applied.

    Allantoin soothes and softens the hair surface and scalp. Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride reduces friction and aids detangling during rinsing. Together with the conditioning botanicals in this formula, they help colour-treated hair feel comfortable, smooth, and less brittle with each wash, rather than increasingly stripped over time.

Colour Protect Care

Colour-treated hair needs a shampoo that works with its altered structure, not against it. The Craft Colour System Shampoo is specifically formulated for hair after colouring or highlighting services, using a mild surfactant system that removes daily impurities without the aggressive cuticle disruption that accelerates colour fade. The conditioning ingredients within the formula - Olive Fruit Oil, Aloe Vera, Panthenol, and Dimethiconol - replenish and protect the hair during the cleanse itself, so colour stays looking fresher and more vibrant for longer between appointments, and the hair retains the softness and polish it had when you left the salon.

Olive & Aloe Vera

Olive and aloe vera are the signature botanical care ingredients in the Craft Colour System range, chosen for the complementary and specific roles they play in supporting colour-treated hair. Olive Fruit Oil (Olea europaea fruit oil) is rich in oleic acid, squalene, and polyphenols that help replenish the lipid layer stripped by colour processing, restoring the natural moisture seal that keeps hair feeling soft and prevents further dehydration. Aloe Vera Leaf Juice provides lightweight, immediate hydration that helps balance moisture without weighing down fine or medium colour-treated hair. Together, backed by Panthenol for internal strength and Allantoin for scalp comfort, they ensure that washing colour-treated hair with this shampoo is a nourishing experience rather than a depleting one.

Glossy, Manageable Hair

A good colour shampoo earns its place by doing two things well: cleaning the hair thoroughly and leaving it in better condition than it found it. The Craft Colour System Shampoo achieves both. The mild five-surfactant cleansing base removes oil, buildup, and daily impurities effectively, while Dimethiconol begins smoothing the cuticle during the wash, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride reduces friction and detangles during rinsing, and the botanical conditioning complex nourishes the shaft. The result is hair that looks cleaner, feels softer, and behaves more manageably after every wash, ready for the Colour System Conditioner to complete the routine.

Don't take our word for it

I have highlighted hair that usually feels a bit dry after washing, but this shampoo made it feel softer and easier to manage. My hair looked shinier and the colour seemed fresher instead of dull. It cleans well without making my hair feel stripped.

Maddie, 27, Highlighted Hair

I colour my hair regularly, so I wanted a shampoo that would help keep it looking neat between salon visits. This one leaves my hair feeling clean, smooth, and less rough than some other shampoos I’ve tried. It also helps my colour look a bit more polished.

Gus, 35, Colour-Treated Hair

My hair can get frizzy and dull quite quickly after colouring, so I was looking for something more supportive. After using the Craft Colour System Shampoo, my hair felt softer and looked glossier. It helped tame the roughness and made my hair easier to style.
