Cree Color Protect Conditioner — 300ml is a professional color-care conditioner formulated to preserve vibrancy, protect hair pigment, and nourish the structural integrity of color-treated hair after every wash, ensuring that the investment made in a color service lasts as long as possible.
Every shampoo wash creates a small but real threat to hair color — the opening of the cuticle during washing allows pigment molecules to slowly migrate out of the hair shaft, especially in high-porosity or bleach-lightened hair. A targeted conditioner like the Cree Color Protect Conditioner fights this process on two fronts. First, its gentle conditioning agents seal the cuticle rapidly and thoroughly during the rinse phase, physically slowing the rate at which color molecules escape the cortex. Second, its formula includes antioxidant actives that neutralize free radicals and oxidative agents within the hair fiber — the same compounds responsible for the molecular breakdown of artificial pigment. The result is measurably extended color vibrancy and a noticeably smoother, shinier finish that makes color look freshly done even weeks after the service. Salon professionals include the Cree Color Protect Conditioner in their color maintenance prescriptions as an essential partner to the Color Protect Mask and Thermal Spray within the complete color-care system.

How to Use
After shampooing with a color-safe or sulfate-free shampoo, apply the Cree Color Protect Conditioner generously from mid-lengths to ends, focusing on bleached or highlighted sections that tend to be most porous and color-vulnerable. Leave on for three to five minutes for a standard conditioning treatment, or up to ten minutes for additional nourishment on very dry or heavily lightened hair. Rinse with cool water to seal the cuticle and maximize color shine. Use at every wash as part of a consistent color maintenance routine.
Best For
- All types of color-treated hair including permanent color, balayage, highlights, and fashion shades

- Daily conditioning use within the complete Cree Color Protect maintenance system
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much longer will my hair color last if I use this conditioner regularly?
A: While results vary based on hair porosity, color type, and washing frequency, consistent use of the Cree Color Protect Conditioner in combination with a color-safe shampoo can noticeably extend color vibrancy — many clients report three to four additional weeks of fresh-looking color before their next touch-up appointment.
Q: Can I use this conditioner on hair that has not been color-treated?
A: Yes. The nourishing and cuticle-sealing properties of the Cree Color Protect Conditioner benefit all hair types, regardless of color treatment. Natural hair will receive the same smoothing, hydrating, and shine-enhancing benefits.
