Anyone who pays for colour and then washes it down the drain over six weeks knows the problem this is meant to solve.

Mane N Tail's Color Protect conditioner is a rich cream in a 355ml bottle, aimed at chemically processed hair. The mechanism is the cuticle. Colouring lifts it, a lifted cuticle leaks pigment, and a conditioner that seals it back down slows the whole process. It also holds off the dullness that builds up over repeated colouring, which is often what makes a shade look old before it has actually faded much.

Past the colour work it conditions properly, so the hair detangles, smooths and holds moisture instead of going straight to brittle after a process. Use it at every wash rather than saving it for occasions, because the protection is cumulative. It suits any coloured hair, and it is a sensible default if you top up your shade at home.

Application tips

Squeeze the water out of your hair before you apply any. Diluted conditioner slides off, and you end up using twice as much.

Rake it through from the ears down, leave it while you finish washing, then rinse under water that is cooler than you would normally pick. Two or three minutes is enough. Skip the roots unless your scalp is genuinely dry.

Results

Hair comes out of the shower slippery rather than squeaky, and a comb passes through wet lengths without catching at the ends.

Coloured hair keeps its depth for longer between top-ups, and the flat, chalky look that sets in a few weeks after a box dye is slower to arrive. The cream is thick, so coarse hair takes it well without needing a mask on top.
