Cree Color Protect Shampoo is the color-locking daily cleanser built to extend the life and vibrancy of every color service. This Cree shampoo gently washes away dirt and product buildup while shielding the cuticle from the everyday stressors — UV, hot water, and oxidation — that cause color to fade prematurely.
Inside the color protect formula, UV filters and antioxidants pair with conditioning agents to help maximize color permanence wash after wash. The lather is creamy and respectful of the hair fiber, so colored strands stay smoother and shinier, and the tones colorists work hard to create stay closer to the bowl finish for longer. It is the daily shampoo that simply makes a color appointment last.

How to Use
Wet hair with warm — not hot — water, since cooler water helps preserve color. Apply a quarter-size amount of Cree Color Protect Shampoo, lather between the hands, and massage into the scalp. Work the suds down the lengths and rinse completely. Follow with a Cree color-safe conditioner or weekly hydrating mask. For extra fade protection, finish with a cool-water rinse.
