The Science Behind Colour Protection
Every time you colour your hair, the cuticle layer opens to let pigment in. The problem? It can stay open — letting that colour wash right back out. Harsh sulfates in regular shampoos speed up this fading process dramatically.
JustK's sulfate-free formula uses gentle cleansing agents (Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine) that remove dirt and oil without disturbing colour molecules. Meanwhile, Argan Oil — rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids — penetrates the hair shaft to seal moisture in and keep the cuticle smooth. Quinoa Extract is packed with amino acids that bond to damaged areas of the hair, essentially filling in the gaps left by chemical processing. The result is stronger hair that holds colour better and looks healthier.
This isn't just a shampoo that avoids damage — it actively repairs and protects with every wash.
How to Use
Wet hair thoroughly with warm water
Squeeze a small amount (roughly a 10-cent coin size) into your palm
Work into a lather through mid-lengths and ends, then gently massage into the scalp
Leave for 1–2 minutes to let the active ingredients work
Rinse thoroughly with cool water to help seal the cuticle and lock in shine
Follow with JustK Argan Oil & Quinoa Colour Protect Conditioner for best results
Tip: Washing with lukewarm or cool water helps colour last longer — hot water opens the cuticle and lets pigment escape faster.
FAQs
Is this shampoo really sulfate-free?
Yes. It contains zero sulfates and zero parabens. The cleansing agents used are gentler alternatives that clean effectively without stripping colour or natural oils.
Will this work on all hair types?
Absolutely. It works on straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair — whether fine or thick. The lightweight formula won't weigh down fine hair or leave thicker hair feeling under-nourished.
How often should I wash colour-treated hair?
Most colourists recommend 2–3 times per week. Washing less frequently helps colour last longer, and this shampoo is gentle enough for daily use if needed.
Can I use this if my hair isn't colour-treated?
Yes! The nourishing formula benefits all hair types. Argan Oil and Quinoa Extract strengthen and moisturise regardless of whether your hair is coloured.
Will this shampoo help with frizz?
Yes. Argan Oil is a natural frizz tamer. It smooths the hair cuticle, which reduces frizz and adds shine — especially helpful for colour-treated hair that tends to be drier and more porous.
Is it safe for keratin-treated or chemically straightened hair?
Yes. The sulfate-free, gentle formula is safe for use on chemically treated hair including keratin treatments.
Key Ingredients
Argan Oil (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil) — Known as "liquid gold," Argan Oil is rich in Vitamin E, fatty acids, and antioxidants. It deeply moisturises, reduces frizz, adds shine, and helps repair damage from colouring and heat styling.
Quinoa Extract (Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract) — A plant-based protein powerhouse. Quinoa's amino acid profile closely matches the natural proteins in hair, allowing it to bond to and repair damaged areas. Strengthens hair from within and helps form a protective film that locks in colour.
Rose Oil (Rosa Rugosa Flower Oil) — A natural conditioning agent with anti-inflammatory properties. Rose Oil adds shine, helps balance scalp moisture, and gives the shampoo its beautiful, gentle floral fragrance.
Glycerin — A natural humectant that draws moisture from the air into the hair shaft, keeping hair hydrated and soft without heaviness.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E) — A powerful antioxidant that protects hair from environmental damage and UV exposure — both of which accelerate colour fading.
