PM Shines is the latest semi-permanent hair color from Paul Mitchell. It’s an easy-to-use liquid gel formula that makes hair look healthy, vibrant and ultra-shiny. PM Shines is available in 35 interblendable shades and a sheer shimmer. When mixed with Clear Shine it offers even, lustrous and radiant hair. Since it is rich in moisture, it helps to color the most damaged hair. Without ammonia, it fades slowly with about 25 washes. As a result, if you made a mistake in choosing the right shade, you do not need to stick with it for a long time.
Formulated with Intense Hydrating Complex (IHC), this hair color penetrates deep into the shaft and hydrates hair. This formula contains a unique conditioning agent obtained from the meadowseed present in it. This agent along with the IHC formula helps repair damage and intensify shine. The ingredients in this hair color include soy protein. During the coloring process, hair loses some of its amino acids, and the soy protein found in PM Shines helps replenish it. Clear Shine also contains UV absorbers to prevent color fading and reduce environmental damage. It has a clear and pleasant fragrance that makes hair coloring a relaxing experience.

Coloring Tips with Paul Mitchell
Select the right tone
Paul Mitchell colors are richer than most colors as they are highly pigmented. So he may need lighter or darker shades to get the right look. It’s good practice to test the semi-permanent or temporary finish first to make sure you’re making the right decision when choosing your color.
Locate the living room

hair care
Exposure to the sun and the harmful chemicals in the shampoos used can strip hair of its color. To ensure that the color stays for a long time, you should try to avoid the sun as much as possible or wear a protective hat. Regular shampoos contain chemicals like sulfate that damage colored hair. Paul Mitchell has his own line of sulfate-free shampoos that protect your colored hair. Taking proper care of colored hair can ensure color that lasts up to 8 weeks.
