Product Information

Full details

Designed for individuals with chemically treated or colour-treated hair, the amika The Protector Color Protect + Strengthen Shampoo offers a professional-grade solution to maintain vibrancy while reinforcing hair health. Its key benefit is the dual-action formula that prevents premature colour fading while simultaneously nourishing and strengthening each strand for added shine and bounce. However, users should note that as a strengthening and protective formula, it is best paired with a dedicated conditioner from the same line to achieve optimal detangling and softness for all hair types.

FAQs

Is this shampoo sulfate-free?

Yes, it is formulated to be gentle on coloured hair, avoiding harsh sulfates that strip colour.

Can I use this on uncoloured hair?

While it is safe for all hair types, the strengthening benefits are most noticeable on hair that has been chemically processed.

How often should I use it?

It is gentle enough for daily use, though most people find 3-4 times a week is sufficient.

Will it weigh down fine hair?

The formula is designed to be moisturizing without being heavy, making it suitable for fine hair.

Is this product cruelty-free?

Yes, amika products are certified cruelty-free.

Does it protect against UV damage?

The protective properties help maintain colour, but it is not a sunscreen for hair; avoid prolonged sun exposure.

Troubleshooting

Hair feels slightly dry after washing

Ensure you are following up with a high-quality, colour-safe conditioner or hair mask to seal the cuticle.

Product is difficult to dispense

Store the bottle cap-down when near empty to allow gravity to bring the product to the opening.

Not enough lather during the first wash

This is common with sulfate-free or gentle formulas; perform a second, smaller wash to ensure a thorough clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This shampoo is compatible with all hair types that have undergone chemical colouring, including balayage, full highlights, and permanent dye. To incorporate this into your routine, start by thoroughly wetting your hair with lukewarm water. Distribute a quarter-sized amount of shampoo into your palms and massage into the scalp. Rinse thoroughly and follow with The Protector conditioner for the best results. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the active ingredients.
