PRIMARY USES

1. Removes Metal Particles That Damage Hair and Alter Color
  • What it does: This professional purifying shampoo is specifically formulated to detoxify the hair by eliminating metal particles (such as copper, iron, and nickel) that accumulate inside the hair fiber from water exposure, pollution, and repeated washing . Unlike standard clarifying shampoos that only clean the surface, this formula works deep within the hair structure to neutralize these damaging metals.

For anyone who lives in an area with hard water, well water, or old pipes, this means a shampoo that targets the root cause of metal-induced damage.
2. Patented Glycamine Technology to Neutralize Metal from Within
  • What it does: The formula utilizes a patented Glycamine technology, which actively neutralizes metal inside the hair fiber rather than just rinsing it off the surface .

SECONDARY USES
