Amika's The Protector leave-in treatment is the most complete product in the range: it protects hair color from the three main culprits of fading—UV rays, chlorine, and heat styling.

Brand's announced results: up to 40 washes* before color dullness, heat protection up to 232°C (450°F), reduced color fading and shift for up to 15 hours of UV exposure*, hair 5.2 times stronger* with 81% less breakage*, and 7.9 times better detangled and hydrated*.

• Color Longevity Complex — color-fixing polymers, peptides, and retention agents that keep pigment in place
• Lamellar Liqui-Crystal Complex — liquid crystals that align to smooth the cuticle and seal color
• Blackcurrant Extract — antioxidant that protects against oxidative stress that dulls color
• Sea Buckthorn Extract — vitamins A and C, omega-7, and antioxidants

Complemented with rice, soy, and palm fruit extracts.

• Sulfate-free, SLS and SLES-free
• Paraben-free, phthalate-free, phosphate-free
• Color-safe and keratin treatment-safe

Available sizes: 60 ml (travel) and 200 ml.

Directions for use: spray evenly on damp hair, from mid-lengths to ends. Detangle with fingers or a wide-tooth comb, then heat style as desired.

Two tips from the brand: spray onto a paddle brush for even distribution, and spray onto dry hair before swimming to create a barrier against chlorine.

* Clinically proven results by the brand, shampoo and conditioner used together.
