Color Awakening Hairbath

The Innersense Color Awakening Hairbath gently cleanses color-treated, chemically treated, and medium-textured hair while helping to preserve hair color vibrancy. The sulfate-free formula with pumpkin seed oil, shea butter, and nourishing plant proteins protects against premature fading, provides moisture, and leaves hair soft and beautifully, naturally shiny.

Color-treated and chemically treated hair often loses softness and shine. The balanced conditioning formula combines moisture-binding ingredients with plant lipids and hydrolyzed proteins. Pumpkin seed oil and shea butter condition the hair surface, while rice and quinoa proteins support stressed lengths. Hair feels soft and cared for without compromising the lightness of the cleansing experience.

Color Awakening Hairbath is also a good choice for waves and curls, especially when the lengths tend to become dry due to coloring. The gentle cleansing maintains a soft hair feel and prepares the hair for subsequent conditioning and styling. The fruity orange and mandarin scent provides a pleasantly fresh hair-washing experience.

Key ingredients

• Pumpkin seed oil: Oil from certified organic cultivation contains valuable unsaturated fatty acids, including omega-6 fatty acids, as well as antioxidant compounds such as vitamin E. It conditions the hair surface, supports moisture balance, and helps preserve the vibrancy of color-treated hair. Particularly stressed and dry lengths benefit from its softening effect.
• Shea butter and avocado oil: Shea butter contains rich plant lipids that make the hair surface softer and reduce frizz. Avocado oil complements the conditioning care with unsaturated fatty acids and supports a softer, smoother hair feel. Together, they help counteract dryness-related roughness and give hair a natural shine.
• Hydrolyzed rice and quinoa proteins: These broken-down plant proteins support care of the hair fiber and can adhere to stressed areas of the hair. They improve the hair feel and make the lengths appear softer and stronger. They are a useful addition to moisture care, especially for color-treated or chemically treated hair.
• Glycerin and Hydroxypropyltrimonium Honey: Glycerin binds moisture and helps protect the hair lengths from drying out. The nourishing honey-derived ingredient also has moisture-binding and conditioning properties. It supports a soft hair feel and improves smoothness after cleansing.
• Mild coconut-based surfactants: Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, and Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate, together with other mild surfactants, form the cleansing base. They remove excess sebum and styling residue without relying on harsh sulfate surfactants such as SLS or SLES. This cleanses the hair thoroughly while being particularly gentle.

How to use

• Thoroughly wet the hair with warm water.
• Place a small amount of Color Awakening Hairbath in the palms, add a little water, and emulsify between the hands into a light lather.
• Gently massage the shampoo into the scalp with your fingertips. The lengths are cleansed during rinsing.
• Rinse thoroughly with water. Repeat the wash if needed.
• Then use Color Radiance Daily Conditioner to moisturize the lengths and improve combability.

Ideal pairing

For a coordinated hair care routine for color-treated hair, we recommend Color Radiance Daily Conditioner. The rich conditioner with aloe vera, avocado oil, and shea butter complements the gentle cleansing with moisture, softness, and shine. This combination is particularly beneficial for medium-textured, color-treated, or chemically treated hair.

If, on the other hand, you want to neutralize unwanted yellow and brassy tones in blonde or gray hair, Bright Balance Hairbath is the more suitable choice. For very thick, severely dry hair, Hydrating Cream Hairbath provides more intensive moisture care.

FAQ

What hair types is Color Awakening Hairbath suitable for?
The shampoo is especially suitable for medium-textured, color-treated, chemically treated, and somewhat dry hair. The gentle cleansing helps preserve color vibrancy, while nourishing plant oils and proteins keep the lengths soft. It can also be used on untreated hair when gentle cleansing with additional conditioning is desired.

Is Color Awakening Hairbath suitable for curls and the Curly Girl Method?
Yes. The silicone- and sulfate-free formula is compatible with the Curly Girl Method and suitable for wavy, curly, and coily hair. Particularly for color-treated curls, the gentle cleansing supports a soft hair feel without unnecessarily drying out the lengths. For additional moisture and improved combability, follow with a suitable conditioner.

What is the difference between Color Awakening and Bright Balance?
Color Awakening Hairbath is a color-protecting conditioning shampoo for color-treated and chemically treated hair. It supports color retention but does not contain violet pigments. Bright Balance Hairbath was specifically developed for blonde, gray, and white hair and neutralizes unwanted yellow and brassy tones.

Is Color Awakening or Hydrating Cream better for dry hair?
Both shampoos care for dry hair, but they differ in conditioning intensity. Color Awakening is especially suitable for medium-textured, color-treated, or chemically treated hair and focuses on gentle cleansing and color retention. Hydrating Cream Hairbath provides richer care for thick, coarse, and severely dry hair.

Is Color Awakening Hairbath vegan?
No. The shampoo contains Hydroxypropyltrimonium Honey, a honey-based conditioning ingredient. It is therefore not vegan.
