For clients and at-home users with permanent or vivid/fashion-color-treated hair, especially color that fades or dulls quickly between salon visits. Used in-salon as an immediate post-color step by stylists, and at home by consumers maintaining that color as part of the full Keep Me Vivid system. Not intended as a general-purpose conditioner for uncolored hair.

The main reason to reach for this spray is timing: it's meant to go on right after a color service, while most conditioners are meant for regular wash days. That immediate, low-pH seal is what the rest of the Keep Me Vivid system is built around, and using it as directed — in-salon post-color, then as the middle step of the at-home routine — is what supports Matrix's retention claims.

In-salon: apply to the full head immediately after color service, leave for about one minute, then rinse. At-home maintenance: shampoo with Keep Me Vivid Color Shampoo and rinse, apply the lamination spray and leave for 1–5 minutes, then follow with Keep Me Vivid Conditioner and rinse.

Pros:

• Purpose-built as an immediate post-color step, filling a gap most standard conditioners don't address
• Low pH is formulated to help close the cuticle and slow residual color fade right after a color service

Cons:

• Its stated color-retention benefits are tied to using the full 3-step Keep Me Vivid system, not this spray alone
• Discontinued, so availability is limited to remaining stock
