L'Oréal Professionnel Série Expert Metal Detox Profesional Pre-Shampoo Treatment

Pre-shampoo care designed to neutralize metal particles that can be present in water and accumulate inside the hair fibers. These particles can cause hair breakage and color change during dyeing, highlighting, or bleaching. Pre-shampoo therapy can penetrate the hair fiber, neutralize the metals, and protect the hair from their harmful effects. Thanks to this pre-treatment, the hair is stronger, less prone to breaking, and the color is more vibrant and long-lasting.

Metal in water, penetrating inside your hair wash after wash, is one of the major causes of hair breakage. But did you know that porous hair has even higher risk of breaking as it absorbs 2x more water with metal ? Through daily aggressions like chemical processing, heat styling or UV, micro-breaks multiply on the hair surface & cavities occur in the cortex, causing hair to get porous & absorb excess water with metal. This leads to higher risks of breakage.

Key ingredients

• Glicofiller- prevents excess absorption of water with metal

Technology

• Anti-porosity technology - to treat hair when it is the most vulnerable to water : before the shampoo. It is concentrated with 2% Glicofiller, an active that has a dual effect both on surface & cortex, to prevent excess absorption of water with metal :
• On the surface - coats the fiber & refills 1 million hair micro-breaks, in 1 minute.
• Inside the fiber - penetrates the hair & fills down to the cortex. This new pre-shampoo treatment is part of the Metal Detox range, a full anti-metal protocol to stop hair breakage & color shift.

How to use

For optimal result, use in layering before Metal Detox shampoo. Separate wet hair into 2 sections. Apply 2 to 4 pumps per section depending on length. Work the product through lengths and ends for 1 to 2 minutes until a light lather appears. Detangle. Do not rinse. In a layering technique, apply Metal Detox shampoo directly over the top, then rinse ​and follow with the routine Metal Detox.
