Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner Review

Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner Review

A few weeks ago I wrote a review of Roux's Anti-Aging Color Protect Shampoo.  I also promised during that review to write a Roux Anti-Aging Protect Conditioner Review, which I'm doing with this blog.

In my prior Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Shampoo review I disclosed how I receive tons of hair and beauty press about new products on a constant basis.

Many times the press is accompanied by offers to try new hair products along with boxes of unsolicited samples.

Roux Anti-Aging Color Product Products Caught My Eye

In addition, I shared how the press release about the new Roux Anti-Aging Color products caught my eye.

Not only do I respect the press rep who sent the releases, I've been a long term fan of the Roux product line for years.

Even though I could have requested free samples, I decided to review the new Roux products on my own dime.

Buying Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner At Sally Beauty

When I purchased the Roux Anti-Aging Color Shampoo, I also purchased the Conditioner along with one of all the new Anti-Aging products.

Over the past few weeks I've been testing all of the Roux Anti-Aging products (Shampoo, Conditioner and related) at home on my hip length naturally wavy hair.

Impressed By Sally Beauty Sales Team

When I purchased the Roux Anti-Aging collection, the Sally Beauty rep was very helpful, but not pushy in any way.

My Honest Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner Review

I am very picky about the products I will use on my hair. For years I have only used ARTec because it worked the best for me.

When the company was sold to L'Oreal, I hoarded all of the ARTec I could find.

dSadly, my ARTec stash has shrunk to the point where I am trying new products on my hair.

My Wet Cleansing Routine

Although I wet wash my hair 1-2 times a week, I rarely use full strength shampoo. I often dilute the shampoo, use water or a conditioner such as the Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner only.

In between the wet washing sessions I use a variety of dry shampoo formulas with a cornstarch base.

I baby my naturally dry hair as much as possible allowing it to air dry unless I'm attending a special hair event.

I wear my hair in a series of protective styles including braids and chignons.

Why I Like Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner

There are many things I like about the new Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner including:

1. The packaging is simple, clean and easy to access – I love how the pleasing slate gray circular plastic conditioner bottle is topped by a clean white screw off top with matching lettering.

2. Easy to apply – Since I like to apply my hair products, including the conditioner directly from the bottle, I prefer bottles like the new Roux which allows me to unscrew the top and measure out how much conditioner I want to use on my hair.  If you wish, you can dispense conditioner from the easy-to-use pop top.

3. Affordable pricing – I paid $9.99 for a 10.1 Fl Oz bottle of shampoo plus 8.25% tax. If you have a Sally’s card (which I don’t) or shop their sales, you can get the product for an even lower price.

Note: I also bought the Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Shampoo and Roux Anti-Aging Leave-in Treatment when I purchased the Conditioner which I've reviewed after a series of wet washing sessions.

4. Clean, crisp aroma – My first whiff and I liked the clean, crisp aroma.  It doesn’t have an overpowering or bland aroma which is distracting.

5. Balanced formula consistency – The conditioner has a medium creamy base.  Some might say it is not as thick as possible, but I prefer my conditioners not to be too thick.  Others might say it is more watery than other types of conditioners, but I found it the right consistency for my hair.

6.  Works in harmony with Roux Shampoo - The Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner is designed to work in harmony with the other Roux Anti-Aging products.

I decided in order to do a fair test, I would apply the conditioner full strength to my roots,  top of my fringe, middle and ends.

Results On My Tests Of Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner

Having purchased the conditioner with my own private credit card at Sally Beauty, I felt free to be as critical as I wanted with the Roux product.

After trying the Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner both diluted and full strength, I found I really liked the product. It performed well in the shower in both full strength and diluted applications.

To give it a fair baseline test, I both air dried and blow dried my hair, after different variations of the wet washing.

My hair felt soft, hydrated and had great volume. I’m not sure how to define whether my hair felt stronger, but I’ll confess it did seem brighter, shinier and vibrant.

I really enjoyed the way my hair felt after using the Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner.

Could that really be true? Its true for me, so far after a few wet washings.

Everyone Has Different Needs For Their Hair

Will the Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner work for everyone? Probably not.

However, no conditioner I’ve ever heard of over the past 15+ years has ever offered a one-stop shop for every type, texture, condition and length of hair.

I think the conditioner, from a highly respected hair care company, will work for people with hair like mine which is naturally dry, textured and highlighted.

Whether you use your conditioner full strength or diluted, I believe the Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner  is worth a shot.

The aroma is nice, the product is priced attractively and it appears Roux put a lot of thought into creating a better alternative for thinning, dull, chronically dry hair suffering from ongoing breakage.

Summary – Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner

I’ve been a fan of the Roux hair product line for years. My maternal Aunt Margie, who was a hairdresser, used Roux in her salon and on my mom’s hair when I was a child.

When I read the press on the new Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner I decided to try the product on my own nickel and under the radar.

While I know not all products work for all people, I think Roux has a winner which many people may enjoy trying and using.  I honestly liked the Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner.

It performed well on a consistent basis.  In fact, I'm on my second bottle.

Roux Anti-Aging Color Protect Conditioner is available at your local Sally Beauty Supply store.
