Amika The Protector Color Protect + Strengthen Treatment

The Protector Color Protect + Strengthen Treatment is a lightweight, leave-in treatment designed to protect and strengthen color-treated hair while helping maintain vibrant, salon-fresh color. Suitable for all color-treated hair types (1–4C), this stylist-trusted formula is clinically proven to prevent color fade for up to 40 washes* while delivering 5.2x stronger hair and 81% less breakage*. With 450°F heat protection, it helps defend hair and color against everyday color faders, including UV exposure, chlorine, and copper, while leaving strands soft, moisturized, shiny, and more manageable. Powered by a Color Longevity Complex featuring color-locking polymers, peptides, and color-retention silicones, the formula helps preserve color vibrancy while preventing dullness and fading. The Lamellar Liqui-Crystal Complex is composed of liquid crystals that align to smooth the hair cuticle, helping support color protection while enhancing softness, moisture, manageability, and shine. Black currant extract, rich in antioxidants, helps protect against oxidative stress that can impact hair color, while sea buckthorn extract, a signature superfruit packed with vitamins C and A, omega-7 fatty acids, and antioxidants, helps nourish and support healthier-looking hair. The formula also helps reduce color fade and shift from up to 15 hours of UV exposure* and fights fade associated with copper and chlorine exposure. For thicker hair, pair with Hydro Rush Mask for an added boost of moisture and hydration. *clinically proven.
