EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Will PROTECT stop my hair from turning green from the chlorine?
ABSOLUTELY! Pool water can contain minerals such as copper, which may contribute to unwanted green tones in hair especially blonde/highlighted hair. PROTECT - with the help of our trusty formula helps create a layer around the hair fibre to defend against chlorine, pool water and environmental stress while supporting hydration, shine and colour longevity.
Why should I use a pre swim hair protectant?
Just as you protect your skin before going into the sun, your hair benefits from protection before exposure to the elements. PROTECT. is designed to help defend the hair from UV, heat, sauna, chlorine and salt water while supporting hydration, shine and colour longevity.
Why use it before swimming instead of after?
Prevention is always better than repair. Hair is most vulnerable once it's exposed to sun, chlorine and salt water. Applying PROTECT. Beforehand helps prepare the hair before environmental stress occurs, then reapplying after swimming helps replenish hydration and improve manageability.
How does PROTECT. Work?
Powered by aloe vera, antioxidant rich botanicals and plant proteins, PROTECT. forms a lightweight conditioning layer around the hair fibre to help reduce moisture loss caused by UV, heat, sauna, chlorine and salt water while leaving hair hydrated, smooth and glossy.
Can I use PROTECT. on coloured hair?
Absolutely. PROTECT. is suitable for natural, coloured and chemically treated hair. It has been formulated to help support colour longevity while defending against environmental stressors that contribute to dryness and colour fade.
Is it suitable for hair extensions?
Yes. PROTECT. is suitable for natural hair, coloured hair and most hair extensions. Apply through the mid lengths and ends, avoiding direct application to extension bonds or tapes unless your extension professional advises otherwise.
Is it only for swimming?
Not at all. Think of PROTECT. as your everyday hair shield.
Will it make my hair oily?
No. The lightweight serum texture is designed to hydrate and protect without leaving the hair feeling greasy or heavy. Start with a small amount and build if needed depending on your hair type.
Can I use it every day?
Yes. PROTECT. is suitable for daily use on damp or dry hair and can be reapplied whenever your hair needs extra hydration and protection.
Do I rinse it out?
No. PROTECT. is a leave in formula designed to stay in the hair while you're enjoying the beach, pool or sauna. After prolonged saltwater or chlorine exposure, rinse your hair if desired and reapply for continued hydration and protection.
Is it suitable for all hair types?
Yes. Whether your hair is fine, thick, curly, straight, natural or colour treated, PROTECT. is designed to suit all hair types.
Is it silicone free?
Yes. PROTECT. is silicone free, vegan, cruelty free and made in Australia using thoughtfully selected botanical ingredients.
