Joico K-PAK Color Therapy Shampoo for Color-Treated Hair — 10.1 fl oz, Keratin & Argan Oil for Shine & Repair

Joico K-PAK Color Therapy Color-Protecting Shampoo gently cleanses color-treated hair while preserving shade, improving elasticity, and adding shine.

This shampoo is formulated to extend color vibrancy and reinforce fragile hair using a blend of keratin, argan oil, and African manketti oil. It produces a rich lather that removes dirt, minerals, and styling buildup without stripping dyes, while SmartRelease Technology continually delivers repair ingredients to help maintain hair strength and manageability between salon visits.

How does this shampoo help my color last longer?

Joico K-PAK Color Therapy Shampoo is designed to be color-friendly: it lifts away residues that dull pigment but avoids harsh surfactants that accelerate fading. Clinical testing shows significant color retention after multiple washes when used as directed and paired with the matching conditioner.

• Formulated to maintain over 82% of color after 18 washes (when used with K-PAK Color Therapy Conditioner).
• African Manketti oil supplies antioxidant protection that helps guard color molecules from environmental stress.
• Mild cleansing agents remove hard water minerals and chlorine without aggressive pigment stripping.

Can it repair damage and reduce breakage?

This shampoo combines keratin and SmartRelease Technology to target weakened sections and help replenish lost proteins. While it’s not a medical treatment, regular use visibly improves hair elasticity, reduces combing breakage, and supports overall resilience.

• Keratin helps rebuild and reinforce hair fiber where protein has been depleted.
• SmartRelease liposomes continuously deliver keratin, arginine, and rosehip oil for ongoing support.
• Reduces combing-related breakage versus non-conditioning shampoos when used in a regimen with the conditioner.

What nourishing ingredients are included and what do they do?

The formula blends plant-derived oils and protective proteins to hydrate, soften, and defend hair. Each ingredient plays a specific role in nourishing color-treated hair while preventing future dulling and dryness.

• Argan oil provides essential fatty acids and vitamin E to hydrate and add shine.
• African Manketti oil delivers antioxidant benefits that help protect color from environmental fade.
• Keratin and arginine actively seek out weakened areas to strengthen and improve texture.

How should I use it for best results?

Use a small amount on wet hair, lather, and rinse thoroughly; follow with K-PAK Color Therapy Conditioner for optimal color protection and repair. For stubborn buildup, a second shampooing can clarify while still preserving pigment when rinsed well.

• Apply to wet hair, massage into scalp and lengths, then rinse completely.
• Pair with the matching conditioner to maximize color retention and reduce breakage.
• Use regularly as part of a color-care routine; avoid daily overwashing to extend color life.
