Protego 800ml Plex Treatment: Smoother, More Manageable Bleach & Colour Results
High-lift colour and creative bleaching keep trending, but the after-feel is what clients remember.
When hair is compromised, even a great colour result can make daily styling feel difficult.
Protego 800ml is a professional plex treatment developed through repeated bleach testing to support stronger-feeling hair, improved manageability, and a smoother, more hydrated finish—without complicating your workflow.

Product Overview
Protego 800ml is a multi-purpose plex treatment created for salons that want reliable support during chemical services and a cleaner finish at the basin.
Use it as a bleach/colour additive, a rinse-out treatment, or an acid-heat (thermal) smoothing step—depending on the menu and hair condition.
Because it flexes across services, Protego is easy to build into consultations as one product that can support lightening sessions, reinforce colour services, and improve post-service hair feel.
It is also positioned around a signature finish described as a bouncy “new-feel” texture—silky smoothness with moisture.
About Colorlog
Protego was developed by Colorlog, a hair-colour verification brand known for real-world swatch testing content for salon professionals.
Colorlog is also an affiliated company of Beauty Garage, and its testing-first approach helped shape Protego’s concept as a bleach-tested plex treatment.

Benefits for Professional Salons
Protego helps you standardise a consistent finish across lightening, colouring, and treatment menus while keeping timing and steps manageable for the team.
It can be positioned as a service enhancer during lightening, or as a standalone treatment step at the basin or with thermal finishing.
- More confident chemical services: Add plex support directly into bleach/colour mixing without changing your application routine.
- Menu expansion with one SKU: Build upgrades across bleach, colour, and thermal smoothing without adding multiple specialised products.
- Stronger rebooking story: A smoother, bouncier finish can support satisfaction and make maintenance conversations easier.
- Clear consultation logic: Percentage guides and hair-history adjustments simplify decision-making for juniors and seniors alike.
- Better add-on value: Position it as a service enhancer (during lightening) or a standalone treatment step (basin/thermal).
