Our verdict

A rinse-out conditioner for color-treated hair that detangles, adds shine and shields against UV fade. It conditions lightly, so very damaged hair may need a mask on top.

Overview

Not a deep repair mask, this Paul Mitchell conditioner is a daily rinse-out for colored hair that slows fading with sunflower extract UV protection. It also detangles, strengthens and adds shine.

Keeping dye vibrant longer is the reason to use it, especially for anyone outdoors often. It is a standard conditioner rather than an intensive treatment, so heavy damage needs more.

Who it's for

Fresh color and highlights exposed to sun suit the UV shield. Badly over-processed hair should pair it with a weekly mask.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Helps extend hair color
  • UV protection from sunflower extract
  • Detangles and adds shine
  • Vegan and paraben free
Cons
  • Light conditioning for heavy damage
  • Contains wheat proteins
  • Brand suggests its own shampoo

Performance notes

Color fades when UV and washing open the cuticle and let dye molecules escape. Sunflower extract absorbs some UV, while conditioning agents smooth the cuticle to slow that loss. Using it after every wash with a color-safe shampoo gives the steadiest result.
