Color Guard is awesome!

First off I got this item from ChickAdvisor to give my honest feedback so....#gotitfree here!
Now the product packaging is awesome! The color guard is something that is very important to me as I color my hair lots. Now it is purple (yep ...purple). After using this product alongside the shampoo, I found my color has "popped" again. Conditioner though does not have that traditional feel of sleekness when you use it. My hair doesn't "feel" conditioned but I will assume there is a reason for it. I do follow up with the Express Repair afterward to set it all in place. I would definitely consider purchasing it. Although only when on sale. It is not "premium" enough for me to justify the cost of over $10 a bottle. That really is my only complaint.
