Wella Professionals Invigo Color Brilliance Colour Protection Shampoo for Fine/Medium Hair (300ml or 1L)
Product description
If you’ve just had your hair coloured, the first wash can make or break how long the shade looks fresh. This Wella Professionals Invigo Color Brilliance shampoo is built around the idea of colour protection plus shine, with a formula aimed at fine to medium hair.
On paper it ticks several of the boxes people tend to care about after colouring: it’s positioned as a colour-protecting shampoo, it uses a low pH approach to help close the cuticle after dyeing, and it includes a “metal purifier” angle to help defend against metals in water that can dull vibrancy.
The essentials
This is a colour protection shampoo for fine/medium hair that’s meant to seal in hair dye and keep colour looking bold. The brand messaging focuses on closing the cuticle after colouring (via a low pH formula), plus helping maintain vibrancy over time.
It also leans into shine and everyday manageability: it cleans while caring for hair, aiming to preserve smoothness and the glossy look you tend to want right after a salon visit. The scent/formula is described as including Lime Caviar and Vitamin E for energising colour protection and shine.
One detail worth taking seriously is the “Metal Purifier” concept. Hard water isn’t a niche problem in the UK—if your water tends to be mineral-heavy, protecting colour from what’s in the water can be the difference between “still vibrant” and “a bit flat” sooner than you expected.
That said, it may not feel like the most dramatic upgrade if you’re looking for a deep repair treatment. This is a shampoo first and foremost, designed around protecting colour and maintaining shine.
What it’s for (and where it fits best)
You’ll likely get the most from this shampoo if:
It makes sense if you have fine to medium hair and want a colour-safe wash that doesn’t ignore vibrancy and shine.
It suits you if your hair colour fades faster than you’d like, especially in the wash cycle, and you’re trying to keep it looking “freshly dyed” for longer.
A good practical micro-scenario: you dye your hair, rinse it out, then wash with this shampoo for the next few weeks. Each time, the goal is that your colour looks more stable and glossy rather than gradually losing its punch.
If you’ve got very coarse, extremely dry, or highly damaged hair, you may find this focuses more on colour protection than on intensive repair—so pairing (or choosing a more conditioning-focused routine) might matter.
What you’ll notice day to day
The most “day to day” payoff is the combination of: cleaning without stripping colour, and helping maintain a vibrant look.
Because the formula is described as low pH and intended to close the cuticle after colouring, it’s aimed at helping lock in the colour deposit after dyeing. Over repeated washes, that’s what you’re buying into: smoother-looking hair and less of that colour fade you can sometimes see and feel.
The Metal Purifier part is another practical angle. If metals in your tap water are an issue, the idea is that your colour is protected from dulling influences in the water, not just from normal wash fade.
Key takeaways
- Designed specifically around colour protection and vibrancy, not just general cleansing.
- Low pH cuticle-closing approach after colouring is central to its positioning.
- Includes a “Metal Purifier” concept for protecting colour from metals in water.
- Targets fine/medium hair, so it’s not aiming to be heavy or overly rich for every hair type.
Worth noting: if you’re hoping for maximum moisture in a single step, a colour protection shampoo can sometimes leave you wanting a stronger conditioner/mask as well. It’s not presented as a stand-alone treatment.

Is it worth it?
This is a solid pick if you want a daily shampoo approach to colour maintenance—especially if your hair is fine to medium and you care about keeping your colour looking vibrant and glossy between salon appointments.
You may want to skip it if your priority is deep repair for very damaged hair, or if you prefer a more treatment-heavy wash routine rather than a colour protection-focused cleanse. It’s also a case of matching expectations: this is a colour-protecting shampoo, so the best results usually come when your routine supports colour-safe washing and appropriate conditioning.
