Moroccanoil Color Complete Protect & Prevent Spray 20ml

Moroccanoil Protect & Prevent Spray 20ml – Advanced Color Protection & Environmental Shield

Shield your hair color from daily damage with Moroccanoil Protect & Prevent Spray 20ml, a lightweight leave-in conditioner that helps prevent color fade and brassiness while offering comprehensive protection against environmental stressors. This innovative spray represents a breakthrough in color protection technology, addressing the multiple factors that contribute to color degradation and hair weakening throughout your day.

Pollution, UV rays, thermal styling, and oxidative stress are among the many external factors that contribute to damaging or weakening the hair fiber, causing artificial pigments to escape or oxidize and resulting in diminished color intensity and unwanted brassiness. The Protect & Prevent Spray offers a multi-layered defense system that works on several fronts simultaneously to keep your color vibrant, your hair protected, and your strands healthy.

Its comprehensive approach to combating these environmental aggressors includes a sophisticated blend of antioxidants to neutralize even the most aggressive free radicals generated by UV exposure, pollution, and other environmental stressors. Specialized sunscreens help absorb harmful UV rays before they can penetrate and damage the hair shaft, while thermal protection shields against heat damage from styling tools and sun exposure.

At the heart of the formula is ArganID™ micro-encapsulated technology—a revolutionary delivery system where positively charged micro-particles are attracted to the negatively charged hair fiber, infusing argan oil deep into the cortex while simultaneously repairing and sealing the cuticle. This locks in hair color from within, creating a protective barrier that prevents pigment loss and maintains color vibrancy.

In addition to its protective properties, the spray weightlessly increases softness, shine, and manageability with every use, functioning as both a leave-in treatment and a detangling spray. The compact 20ml size makes it perfect for travel, gym bags, or on-the-go touch-ups, ensuring your color stays protected wherever your day takes you.

What the product is

Moroccanoil Protect & Prevent Spray is a lightweight, multi-functional leave-in treatment specifically formulated to address the complex challenges faced by color-treated hair in modern environments. This isn't just a simple protective spray—it's a comprehensive color preservation system that works on multiple levels to maintain the integrity, vibrancy, and health of your colored hair.

The spray functions as a daily shield against the invisible threats that constantly attack your hair: UV radiation that breaks down color molecules, environmental pollution that deposits damaging particles on the hair surface, oxidative stress that causes brassiness and color shift, and thermal damage from styling tools that weakens the hair structure and releases color pigments.

What makes this product particularly innovative is its ArganID™ technology—a micro-encapsulation system that represents a significant advancement in hair care delivery. Unlike traditional products that simply coat the hair surface, ArganID™ creates positively charged micro-particles that are naturally attracted to the hair fiber's negative charge. This electromagnetic attraction drives the particles deep into the hair's cortex, delivering argan oil where it's needed most while simultaneously repairing damage and sealing the cuticle layer.

The weightless formula won't add any heaviness or greasiness to your hair, making it suitable for all hair types—from fine and delicate to thick and coarse. It absorbs instantly, leaving hair feeling soft, conditioned, and naturally touchable rather than coated or sticky. Professional colorists particularly appreciate this spray for clients who've invested in premium color services, as it helps extend the life of their color investment while maintaining the hair's health between salon visits.

Beyond color protection, the spray serves as an excellent daily detangler, working through knots and tangles with ease while conditioning hair and boosting its natural reflectivity. The fine mist application ensures even distribution without over-saturating any areas, and the quick-drying formula means you can style immediately without waiting for product absorption.

The formula is safe for all hair types and textures—straight, wavy, curly, or coily—and is gentle enough for daily use. It works beautifully with all color types, from subtle highlights to vibrant fashion colors, providing tailored protection that adapts to your hair's specific needs. The 20ml travel size is TSA-approved, making it ideal for vacations, business trips, or keeping in your gym bag for post-workout freshening.

Benefits of use

The Moroccanoil Protect & Prevent Spray delivers comprehensive benefits that address every aspect of color preservation and hair protection, creating a complete defense system that keeps your hair looking freshly colored for weeks longer than unprotected hair.

Daily use creates cumulative protection that strengthens with each application, building resilience against environmental damage while maintaining your hair's natural softness and movement.

• Prevents color fade and maintains vibrancy
  Locks in color pigments at the molecular level, preventing them from escaping the hair shaft and maintaining the true tone of your color service without the gradual dulling that occurs with unprotected hair
• Eliminates brassiness and color shift
  Neutralizes the oxidative processes that cause unwanted warm tones in blonde, silver, and light-colored hair, keeping your color cool, true, and exactly as your colorist intended it to look
• Shields against UV damage
  Multiple sunscreen agents work together to absorb harmful UV rays before they can penetrate the hair shaft and break down color molecules, providing protection equivalent to SPF for your hair
• Protects from pollution and environmental stress
  Creates a protective barrier that prevents pollution particles, smog, and airborne contaminants from depositing on hair and causing oxidative damage that accelerates color fade
• Provides thermal protection
  Shields hair from heat damage caused by blow dryers, flat irons, curling tools, and even sun exposure, preventing the thermal degradation that weakens hair structure and releases color pigments
• Detangles weightlessly
  Smooths the cuticle and reduces friction between hair strands, allowing combs and brushes to glide through effortlessly while preventing the breakage that often accompanies detangling
• Increases softness and shine
  Conditions hair with every application, progressively improving texture, smoothness, and light reflection for hair that looks healthier and more vibrant with continued use
• Repairs and seals the cuticle
  The ArganID™ technology actively repairs damage from the inside out while sealing the cuticle layer to lock in moisture, nutrients, and color pigments for lasting results

Regular use extends the life of your color service significantly, allowing you to go longer between salon visits while maintaining the fresh, vibrant appearance of newly colored hair. Clients consistently report their color lasting 3-4 weeks longer with daily Protect & Prevent Spray use compared to unprotected hair.

The antioxidant-rich formula provides ongoing protection that accumulates with each use, creating stronger defense mechanisms over time. Hair becomes more resilient to environmental challenges, maintaining its color integrity even during extended sun exposure, swimming, or time spent in polluted urban environments.

How to use

Daily application:
After shampooing and conditioning, gently towel-dry hair to remove excess water. Hair should be damp but not dripping. Hold the bottle 6-8 inches away from hair and mist evenly throughout the mid-lengths and ends, focusing on the areas most exposed to environmental stress and where color tends to fade fastest.

Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to distribute the product evenly through all layers of hair, ensuring complete coverage. The fine mist settles quickly into the hair shaft, so work through hair promptly after spraying for optimal distribution and penetration.

Styling recommendations:
Proceed with your normal styling routine immediately after application—no waiting time is required. The lightweight formula won't interfere with other styling products and can be layered with heat protectants, volumizers, or finishing products without any conflict or buildup.

For maximum thermal protection, apply before blow-drying or using heat styling tools. The spray creates an invisible barrier that shields hair from heat damage up to 450°F (232°C), allowing you to achieve your desired style while protecting your color investment.

💡 For enhanced UV protection: When spending extended time outdoors, apply an additional light mist to dry hair as a refresher. This creates a secondary protective layer that reinforces your hair's defense against sun damage, especially important during beach days, outdoor events, or prolonged sun exposure.

Frequency of use:

For optimal color protection, use daily as part of your styling routine. The spray is formulated for everyday use and won't cause buildup or weigh hair down even with consistent application. On non-wash days, you can spray lightly on dry hair to refresh protection and boost shine.

After swimming in chlorinated or salt water—both major causes of color fading—rinse hair with fresh water and apply the spray generously to help neutralize the damaging effects and restore hair's protective barrier. This post-swim ritual can significantly reduce the color-stripping effects of pool and ocean water.

🎯 Pro tip: For freshly colored hair, begin using Protect & Prevent Spray immediately after your color service—even the first wash. Starting protection early maximizes color longevity and prevents the initial fade that often occurs in the first few weeks after coloring.

Storage tips:
Keep the spray in your bathroom, gym bag, or travel kit for convenient daily use. The 20ml size is perfect for maintaining protection on the go, ensuring your color stays shielded no matter where your day takes you. Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight to maintain formula integrity.
