Paul Mitchell Color Protect Locking Spray for Color-Treated Hair, 8.5 fl. oz — UV Protection & Shine

Paul Mitchell Color Protect Locking Spray is a leave-in conditioner that helps preserve hair color while adding luminous shine and UV protection.

This lightweight spray is formulated for color-treated hair to reduce fading between salon visits and to refresh vibrancy without weighing hair down. Infused with sunflower extract, it helps guard strands from sun exposure while delivering a glossy finish and a bright, energizing fragrance with citrus and apple notes. The formula absorbs quickly so you can style immediately and enjoy smoother, shinier results.

How does this spray extend color between salon appointments?

The spray forms a gentle, protective layer that decreases the effects of environmental stressors that strip pigment. Regular use helps maintain tone and prevents early fading so color looks fresher for longer.

• Sunflower extract provides natural UV-filtering support
• Lightweight conditioning replenishes moisture to dyed strands
• Daily application seals cuticle surface to reduce pigment loss

Will it leave hair heavy or greasy?

No — the formula is designed to be non-weighty and fast-absorbing so hair retains movement and natural body. It conditions without buildup, making it suitable for fine to medium textures when used as directed.

• Water-light spray disperses evenly through hair
• Non-greasy feel preserves volume and bounce
• Safe for everyday use on color-treated hair types

How should I use the spray for best results?

Apply to towel-dried or dry hair from mid-lengths to ends, then comb through and style as usual. It can be used before heat styling for added protection and shine or as a finishing mist to enhance gloss and manageability.

• Spray evenly 8–10 inches from hair
• Concentrate on colored areas and ends
• Reapply lightly between washes to refresh vibrancy

Is the packaging environmentally considerate?

Paul Mitchell has updated retail packaging to include post-consumer recycled materials and simplified labels to improve recycling potential. Bottles and jars contain significant PCR content, reflecting the brand’s move toward reduced environmental impact.

• Retail bottles and jars include 50% PCR material
• Low-profile caps and labels designed for recyclability
• Check local recycling rules for proper disposal

Who is this for: Paul Mitchell Color Protect Locking Spray is ideal for anyone with color-treated hair who wants to extend salon-fresh vibrancy, add reflective shine, and protect strands from sun-related fading. It works well for those seeking a lightweight, everyday spray that supports color longevity without compromising hair movement, and for clients who prefer salon-quality routines at home.
