Amika The Protector Color Protect And Strengthen Treatment 200ml

Amika The Protector Color Protect And Strengthen Treatment is a lightweight leave-in hair treatment that helps keep colour-treated hair looking vibrant while protecting against heat, UV exposure and chlorine. This easy-to-use conditioning spray helps strengthen hair, reduce breakage and maintain shine, making it particularly useful if you regularly heat style your hair, spend time outdoors or enjoy swimming.

Hair colour can gradually fade through washing, heat styling and everyday exposure to sunlight and swimming pool water. Amika's Colour Longevity Complex helps preserve colour vibrancy, while its Lamellar Liqui-Crystal Complex smooths the hair cuticle for a softer, glossier finish. The lightweight, milky formula also provides heat protection up to 450°F (232°C), helping you care for your colour while keeping hair smooth, manageable and beautifully conditioned without feeling heavy or greasy.

Suitable for: All colour-treated hair types and textures, including straight, wavy, curly and coily hair (types 1-4c). Ideal for anyone wanting to maintain salon colour, reduce breakage and protect their hair during heat styling or outdoor activities.

Benefits:

• Long-lasting colour protection: Helps prevent colour fading for up to 40 washes, according to Amika's testing.
• Heat protection: Protects hair from styling temperatures up to 450°F (232°C).
• UV and chlorine protection: Helps reduce colour fading caused by sunlight, swimming pool chlorine and other common colour faders.
• Stronger hair: Helps improve hair strength and minimise breakage, particularly in fragile colour-treated strands.
• Improved shine: Smooths the hair cuticle to leave colour looking glossier and more vibrant.
• Lightweight conditioning: Adds moisture and softness without leaving hair feeling weighed down.
• Easier detangling: Helps improve manageability so hair feels smoother and easier to comb.

Key ingredients and technology:

• Colour Longevity Complex: Combines colour-retaining polymers, peptides and conditioning silicones to help preserve colour vibrancy and reduce fading.
• Lamellar Liqui-Crystal Complex: Helps smooth the hair cuticle and maintain softness, moisture and shine while supporting colour protection.
• Black Currant Extract: Rich in antioxidants that help protect against oxidative stress associated with colour dullness and fading.
• Sea Buckthorn: Amika's signature superfruit, containing vitamins, fatty acids and antioxidants that help nourish hair and maintain softness and manageability.

How to use:

• After washing and conditioning your hair, gently towel dry to remove excess water.
• Spray the treatment evenly through damp hair, concentrating on the mid-lengths and ends.
• Gently detangle using your fingers or a wide-toothed comb to distribute the product.
• Do not rinse out. Style your hair as usual, using heated styling tools if desired.
• For additional colour protection before swimming, the treatment can also be sprayed onto dry hair.

Expert tips:

• For more even coverage, spray the treatment onto a paddle brush before brushing it through your hair.
• Use after Amika The Protector Color Protect And Strengthen Shampoo and Conditioner for a complete colour-care routine.
• If you have particularly thick hair or need additional moisture, Amika recommends pairing your routine with Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Mask.

Good to know: This is a leave-in treatment, so there is no need to rinse after application. Avoid contact with eyes.
