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

Paul Mitchell Color Protect Locking Spray is a leave-in treatment that helps preserve salon color, adds radiant shine, and shields strands from UV-related fading.

Designed for color-treated hair, this lightweight spray-in conditioner uses sunflower extract to help reduce the effects of sun exposure that can dull dye, while leaving hair smooth, glossy, and easier to manage between salon visits. The scent is bright and energizing with notes of orange, apple, and bergamot. Packaging has been updated with post-consumer recycled materials to improve recyclability where available.

How will this product extend my hair color between appointments?

The formula helps reduce color fade by coating strands with lightweight conditioning agents and antioxidants from sunflower extract that target UV-related dulling. Regular use after washing or on dry hair maintains surface shine so color appears fresher for longer.

• Sunflower extract supports UV defense for color-treated strands.
• Leave-in conditioning smooths the cuticle to retain pigment reflection.
• Lightweight formula avoids weighing down fine color-treated hair.

Will this spray make my hair feel heavy or greasy?

No — the spray is formulated to be non-greasy and easy to distribute, leaving hair soft with a natural shine rather than oily residue. It’s intended for daily or as-needed use, suitable for both fine and thicker color-treated textures when applied sparingly.

• Spray delivers an even mist for controlled coverage.
• Non-heavy formulation preserves volume and movement.
• Works on damp or dry hair for flexible styling routines.

How should I use Color Protect Locking Spray for best results?

Spritz evenly onto damp hair after shampooing and conditioning, or on dry hair to refresh shine and manageability. Comb or finger-style through to distribute, then style as usual—no rinsing required.

• Apply 6–8 inches from hair for an even mist.
• Use after color-safe shampoo and conditioner for maximum benefit.
• Reapply lightly on the go to revive shine and tame frizz.

Is the product environmentally considerate and salon-supported?

Paul Mitchell has updated retail packaging to include post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials for bottles and jars, reducing environmental impact where local recycling standards allow. Purchases support professional salons within the John Paul Mitchell Systems network.

• Retail bottles and jars contain PCR materials (50% bottles/jars; tubes 25%).
• Low-profile caps and labels designed for improved recyclability.
• Supports JPMS salons through brand commission structure.

Who is this for: Paul Mitchell Color Protect Locking Spray is ideal for anyone with color-treated hair who wants an easy, leave-in step to help preserve vibrancy, add shine, and protect against sun-related fading. It fits into daily routines for busy people, at-home color maintainers, and clients looking to extend the life of salon color without heavy styling products.
