Not sure about the colour protect products
I got the colour protectant shampoo & conditioner because, as I understood it, these were meant to remove buildup but also protect one’s colour. But for my thirsty 2c/3a hair, I found it was not that conditioning. My hair felt rough and it was tough to disentangle. I’ll finish off my bottles by applying a different conditioner and the shampoo as co-wash. I might give the colour protect conditioner to a friend.
