HAIR DETOX 101

Discover how to elevate your colour results with a new express detox treatment

With the demand for colour treatments continuing to soar, stylists remain fully committed to ensuring that they provide their clients with an impeccable colour service. Hair colour is one of the most complex treatments you can do as a stylist, and there are so many variables that can impact the finished result. Enter L’Oréal Professionnel’s new Metal Detox pre-colour treatment, an easy-to-use 3 step routine that helps to neutralise excess copper metals on the hair, leaving hair like a blank canvas; a clean slate to work with.

How does it work?

Think of Metal Detox like a micellar water – in other words, it’s adept at cleansing and removing any unwanted elements from the surface of the hair. Metal Detox consists of a shampoo, cleansing cream and mask. It's powered by the star ingredient Glicoamine. The formula works to detox the hair of unwanted build up before the colour service.

Described as ‘Micellar for Hair’, L’Oréal Professionnel’s Metal Detox pre-colour treatment is the ultimate option for creating a clean base

The shampoo and mask are winners of ‘Best Colour Safe Shampoo and Conditioner’ in the Cosmopolitan Beauty Awards 2021.

THE METAL DETOX SYSTEM

First Step:

1. Metal neutralizer
A pro pre-treatment which neutralises excess copper metal before colour is applied, creating a clean palette. Applied as a spray, it's nofuss and speedy.

Second Step:

2. Anti-metal cleansing cream
A shampoo formula that detoxifies the hair post-colour.

Third Step:

3. Anti-deposit protector
Applied after shampooing, this mask coats the hair shaft and helps prevent new metal particles from coming back.

Discover how easy it is to introduce Metal Detox to all your colour clients

Some clients can be reluctant to try new products, but Metal Detox offers many benefits to the hair and is suitable for all hair types, so we urge you to encourage your clients to try it. No matter how diligent your clients are when it comes to hair care and maintenance, we are all vulnerable to the impact of metals absorbed into the hair from water. While we are mostly familiar with the green tinge that can often be detected on blonde hair, darker hues are not immune, and can also be affected by harsh water and left with visible dullness and a rough texture. An effective way of getting your clients to see the benefits of a pre-colour treatment is by using the micellar water skincare analogy, as most of us are aware of just how beneficial it is for cleansing and prepping the skin.
