Paul Mitchell Color Protect Conditioner 33.8 fl. oz. — UV Shielding, Lightweight Daily Conditioner for Color-Treated Hair

Paul Mitchell Color Protect Conditioner is a daily, color-safe conditioner that detangles, moisturizes, and helps shield color-treated hair from sun-driven fading.

This lightweight conditioner is formulated specifically to preserve salon color while restoring softness and manageability. Enriched with sunflower extract for UV protection and a blend of conditioning botanicals, it smooths the cuticle to boost shine without weighing hair down. The formula is vegan, paraben-free, and designed for everyday use to maintain vibrant color and healthy-looking strands between salon visits.

How does this conditioner protect hair color?

The formula includes UV-filtering sunflower extract that helps reduce color breakdown caused by sun exposure. It also smooths the cuticle to reduce porosity so pigment stays locked in longer, helping color appear fresher between services.

• Sunflower extract provides UV shielding against color-fading rays
• Cuticle-smoothing conditioning agents reduce pigment loss
• Color-safe formulation avoids harsh sulfates and parabens
• Daily use helps maintain salon color vibrancy over time

Will it detangle and improve hair feel?

Yes—this conditioner detangles wet hair to reduce breakage and makes strands easier to comb and style. Moisturizing extracts restore softness and gloss, leaving hair feeling hydrated rather than heavy or greasy.

• Slip-enhancing emollients ease combing and styling
• Moisturizing botanicals add softness and shine
• Lightweight texture avoids weighing fine-to-medium hair down
• Reduces friction and breakage during towel-dry and styling

Is the formula gentle and salon-quality?

Paul Mitchell developed this conditioner for color-treated hair with salon-grade performance in mind. It’s vegan and paraben-free, compatible with professional color services, and safe for routine at-home use to help prolong the look achieved in the salon.

• Vegan and paraben-free formula suitable for regular use
• Designed by John Paul Mitchell Systems for salon-quality results
• Safe to pair with color and other chemical services
• Refreshing citrus-apple-bergamot scent for an energizing finish
