Product Description
amika The Protector Color Protect + Strengthen Conditioner is a nourishing conditioner designed to protect color-treated hair from fading while strengthening, moisturizing, and boosting shine.
Clinically proven to help prevent color fade for up to 40 washes, the formula protects color vibrancy every time hair is conditioned without stripping or shifting the color. It also delivers 11x stronger hair and 91% less breakage, helping color-treated strands stay stronger, smoother, and healthier-looking.
The formula features amika's Color Longevity Complex, a combination of color-locking polymers, peptides, and color-retention silicones that helps preserve vibrancy and prevent dullness and fading. A high-refractive glossing polymer mimics naturally occurring ceramides to help smooth rough cuticles and enhance visible gloss.
Antioxidant-rich black currant extract helps protect against oxidative stress that can affect hair color, while sea buckthorn provides naturally occurring nutrients and antioxidants.
The result is soft, silky, manageable, and shiny hair with longer-lasting color vibrancy.
