How to Use

Wet Your Hair: Begin by thoroughly wetting your hair with lukewarm water.
Apply Shampoo: Dispense a small amount of our color-treated hair shampoo into the palm of your hand. The amount needed will depend on the length and thickness of your hair. Start with a dime-sized amount for short hair and increase as needed for longer hair.
Massage Into Scalp: Gently massage the shampoo into your scalp using your fingertips. Focus on the roots and areas where product buildup tends to occur. •
Work Through Hair: Once your scalp is thoroughly cleansed, work the shampoo through the lengths of your hair.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until all traces of shampoo are removed. Ensure that no residue is left behind, as this can weigh down your hair.
Follow with Conditioner: For best results, follow up with our Color Care Conditioner to replenish moisture and further support your color.

Tips

Limit Washing: To help preserve your hair color appearance, try to limit washing your hair to 2-3 times per week, or as needed. Overwashing can strip away natural oils and may cause your color to fade more quickly.
Use Cool Water: When rinsing out shampoo and conditioner, use cool or lukewarm water instead of hot water. Cool water helps to seal the hair cuticle, locking in moisture and color.
Avoid Excessive Heat: Minimize heat styling and exposure to hot tools, as heat can cause color to fade and damage hair. When blow-drying, use a low or medium heat setting and always apply a heat protectant spray beforehand.

FAQs

What is the Color Care Shampoo?

The Color Care Shampoo is a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo for color-treated hair that cleanses while helping your color stay vibrant and shiny between salon visits. It is made with Aloe Vera Hydrosol, Papaya Fruit Extract, Apricot Kernel, Coconut, Broccoli Seed, Cherry Kernel and Grapeseed Oils, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein and Panthenol. Orange Peel, Bergamot, Grapefruit, Cedarwood, Juniper Berry and Lavender essential oils give it a fresh, citrus scent.

What makes a shampoo color-safe?

A color-safe shampoo, like the Color Care Shampoo, cleanses with mild cleansers instead of strong sulfates, which can strip color along with oil. It should also add moisture, because colored hair is often drier and more porous, and porous hair lets color wash out more easily. Ours is sulfate-free, cleanses with gentle Decyl Glucoside and Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, and adds Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Panthenol and plant oils to keep hair soft and glossy.

How can I keep my hair color from washing out?

Gentle washing makes a big difference, and the Color Care Shampoo is a good start. Wash only 2 to 3 times a week, rinse with cool or lukewarm water instead of hot, and use a sulfate-free shampoo and a conditioner every time. Limit heat styling, use a low or medium setting with a heat protectant, and shield your hair from strong sun and chlorine with a hat or swim cap. Waiting a couple of days after coloring before your first wash also helps.

How often should I wash color-treated hair?

To help your color last, wash color-treated hair 2 to 3 times a week, or as needed, with a gentle shampoo like the Color Care Shampoo. Every wash removes a little color, and washing too often can strip your hair's natural oils and leave it dry. Between washes, you can simply rinse with water if your scalp feels warm or sweaty. When you do wash, use lukewarm water and follow with a conditioner to keep color-treated hair soft and shiny.

How do I use the Color Care Shampoo?

Wet your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water. Put a small amount of the Color Care Shampoo in your palm, about a dime-size for short hair and more for long or thick hair, and massage it into your scalp with your fingertips, focusing on the roots. Work the lather through the lengths, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm or cool water so no residue is left. Follow with our Color Care Conditioner to add moisture and keep your color looking glossy.

Can I use the Color Care Shampoo if I color my gray hair?

Yes. The Color Care Shampoo is a great match if you color your hair to cover or blend gray, and it also works on highlights, balayage and bleached hair. These hair types are often drier and more porous, so its gentle, sulfate-free cleansers and moisturizing oils help keep hair soft while helping your color stay vibrant. Pair it with our Color Care Conditioner, and before heat styling, use a protectant such as our Heat Protecting Hair Treatment.

Is the Color Care Shampoo sulfate-free?

Yes. The Color Care Shampoo is sulfate-free and paraben-free. It cleanses with gentle Decyl Glucoside and Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, which lather well and rinse clean without stripping the oils and color from your hair. Guar and Methylcellulose give it a smooth, rich texture, and Glycerin and Panthenol help keep hair soft and manageable after every wash. That gentle cleansing is what makes it a good everyday choice for color-treated hair.

Does hot water make hair color wash out?

Hot water can make hair color wash out sooner, because heat lifts the hair's outer layer and lets color escape. Rinsing with cool or lukewarm water, as we suggest with the Color Care Shampoo, helps keep that outer layer smooth, so hair holds moisture and color and looks shinier. You do not need ice-cold water: lukewarm water for washing and a cool final rinse are enough. The same goes for styling, since lower heat settings are kinder to color.

Which conditioner should I use with the Color Care Shampoo?

Our Color Care Conditioner is made to go with the Color Care Shampoo. After shampooing, apply the conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends, leave it on for a few minutes and rinse with cool water to help seal in moisture and keep color looking glossy. You can also buy the two together as our Color Care Duo. For extra softness on dry ends, add a small amount of our Leave-In Conditioner after washing.

Is the Color Care Shampoo vegan, and what does it smell like?

The Color Care Shampoo is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, never tested on animals, and every ingredient is listed on this page. It has a fresh citrus and woody scent from Orange Peel, Bergamot, Grapefruit, Cedarwood, Juniper Berry, Amyris and Lavender essential oils. It contains Apricot Kernel, Cherry Kernel and Coconut Oils, so check the full list if you have a nut allergy. It is made in the USA by Just Nutritive, a women-owned company making natural hair and skin care since 2007.

It’s great. Great shampoo.

I’m 75. I recommend this shampoo to everyone my age. I love it.

Another great product!

I’ve used plenty of sulfate/sodium chloride free shampoos but none of them compare to Just Nutritive Color Care Shampoo. My hair feels soft and is easy to style.

Repeat customer!

The shampoo lathers and cleans great without leaving my hair feeling stripped or with a residue. One bottle lasts about 4 months with my chin length hair and my hair is healthy and holds my color. It’s the only shampoo (and conditioner) I use now.

Love

I love this shampoo so much I won’t be using anything else!

This is the best color care shampoo I’ve ever found!

All I can say is Wow!! This shampoo is great!! It goes on silky smooth and suds up with rich lather. My hair hasn’t felt this good in a long time. I love knowing I am using natural ingredients. Worth the price!

Color Care shampoo

This stuff is WONDERFUL!! I thought it was too pricey for me, but so glad I bought it anyway because it's very cost-effective; you only need a very small amount, so this bottle lasts a very long time. The results on my color-treated hair have been amazing!! My hair is fine and dry, and this gives it just-right moisture without weighing it down. Very pleased, and when I eventually run out I'll for sure be buying more!!

Colour shampoo

This is my second bottle. I love this shampoo. Keeps my colour, Lathers up nicely, and leaves hair clean and silky feeling. Also I used the conditioner for coloured treated hair. Which rinses out nicely and helps hair comb out easily.

Color care shampoo and conditioner

I have used both of these products for several years, and love them both. I have red color treated hair, and these products keeps my color vibrant and healthy too.

Amazing Shampoo!

I used to own a salon and had access to every shampoo on the market. I just tried this Color Care Shampoo for the first time and it is the nicest shampoo I have ever used. Great lather. My hair is in a whole new place right now! I also used the Color Care Conditioner and it is equally as good. I can't go back to salon shampoos every again!!

Color care shampoo

I have only been using this shampoo for about ten days—about 4 washes—and I honestly can already tell a big difference in my hair!! I have a little more volume and no where near the amount of hair falling out. It’s a little too soon to say how it will do with my color, but I have noticed more shine and I can go an extra day between washes without too much dullness. I’m very pleased so far.

I'm loving this shampoo! The ingredients are excellent, and the results are hair that's clean without being flat or the color faded. Also, a little goes a long way, so it's actually more cost effective than I would have thought. Definitely will be buying this from now on.

love this product

GREAT PRODUCT! Smells so fresh and clean for days.

JustNutritive Shampoo

I've been using this product for about 13 years. Love, love, love it. Will continue to use it and enjoy healthy clean hair.

My favorite

The color care shampoo and conditioner are great. My hair feels soft and is more manageable. It is not weighed down, but it is full of manageable body and shine. I have bleached hair, so it tends to get dry and frizzy, however, this shampoo and conditioner makes my hair feel great! Shipping is fast too!!

Great product made better

I started using this shampoo about a year ago and love the way it makes my hair feel…my color girl even mentioned how healthy my hair feels. The only thing I hated was the pump but they changed that. Love the new top!

Great products!

I'm so glad I found these products. Super blessed with the products and results!

After shampooing my hair felt soft.

Exceeded Expectations!

My hairdresser pointed out that my hair had become very dry. With all that was going on in 2020 I hadn't noticed. My hair had grown very long. As a functional nutritionist, I'm very careful about using products with chemicals. I was using an organic shampoo and conditioner with clean ingredients; I assumed it was not the reason. Anyway, I decided to look into a new clean shampoo and conditioner. After searching I chose Just Nutritive. The first time I used the Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner, WOW! what a difference. My hair was more manageable and felt healthier in one use! Also, I purchased the Creamy Styling Gel. It was the combination of all three that transformed my hair. I'm thrilled!

I love this product. It makes my hair shinny.

Love this shampoo!

I've bought this shampoo several times; I love it!

Shampoo

Used it for a couple of years. Like it.

Smells Great

I love how it lathers my hair and it smells amazing!

Amazing shampoo

I love this shampoo for my bleached hair. Makes my hair clean and fresh without the chemicals. I'm hooked on this shampoo.

I really like how this shampoo makes my hair shine and smell good.

No Title

So far I really like the shampoo and the way my hair feels. It is soft and shines more.

Love it! Very gentle on hair color and leaves my hair feeling clean and fresh

Gentle Cleansing!

This shampoo cleanses the scalp and is gentle.

Hair looks better

I just started using this product and I see improvement in it already. Less frizzy and dry looking and it doesn't weigh it down. Thank you! I hope you never stop making these wonderful products!

Like the lather

It gives me some volume and makes me feel good that I am switching to natural even though at 58 I am still faithfully coloring my hair every 4 was. My hair feels good, not processed.

Clean Hair

My hair feels clean and not weighted down after I was it!
