L’ORÉAL PROFESSIONNEL SERIE EXPERT METAL DETOX SULFATE-FREE SHAMPOO

L’ORÉAL PROFESSIONNEL SERIE EXPERT METAL DETOX SULFATE-FREE SHAMPOO 

PRIMARY USES

1. Removes Harmful Metal Particles That Damage Hair and Alter Color

• What it does: This sulfate-free professional shampoo is specifically formulated to gently remove harmful metal particles found in water—such as copper, iron, and nickel—that accumulate inside the hair fiber from pipeline erosion and hard water exposure . Unlike standard clarifying shampoos that only clean the surface, this formula penetrates the hair cortex to eliminate these damaging metals .

• How it helps your hair: For the person who lives in an area with hard water, well water, or old copper pipes, this provides a deep detox that removes the hidden cause of damage and color issues. For anyone who has experienced unexplained breakage, dullness, or brassiness despite using quality products, this means a shampoo that addresses the root cause of metal-induced hair problems.

2. Patented Glicoamine Technology Neutralizes Metal from Within

• What it does: The formula utilizes patented Glicoamine technology—a molecule small enough to penetrate the inner hair fiber and trap and neutralize metals inside the hair where they hide . When metal particles mix with oxidants during color, balayage, or lightening services, a negative chemical reaction occurs leading to breakage and unreliable color results; Glicoamine prevents this by neutralizing metals before they can cause damage .

• How it helps your hair: For the person whose hair breaks unpredictably or whose color turns out uneven during salon services, this provides a solution that eliminates the hidden culprit. For anyone planning a chemical service like bleaching or coloring, this means a shampoo that helps treatments perform as expected, with 100% true-to-tone color results .

3. Reduces Breakage by Up to 87%

• What it does: Clinical instrumental testing shows that when used as part of the complete Metal Detox system (Pre-treatment + technical procedure + shampoo + mask), this shampoo helps achieve up to 87% less hair breakage . The formula prevents the hair damage and breakage caused by metals to improve overall hair health .

• How it helps your hair: For the person whose hair snaps, splits, or feels brittle, this provides measurable protection that transforms the health and strength of your hair. For anyone undergoing chemical services, this means a shampoo that dramatically reduces the risk of catastrophic breakage during processing.

4. Helps Maintain Color Vibrancy and Adds Shine

• What it does: By removing metal buildup that causes unwanted brassiness and premature color fading, this shampoo helps maintain color vibrancy and adds shine to colored hair . Metal deposits from hard water can cause color to look dull, brassy, and underwhelming; this detoxifying formula restores brightness and clarity .

• How it helps your hair: For the person whose salon-fresh color fades too quickly or turns brassy within weeks, this provides a solution that addresses the underlying cause. For anyone who wants their color to look vibrant and true between salon visits, this means a shampoo that protects your color investment.

5. Sulfate-Free, Gentle Cream Formula with Rich Foam

• What it does: This sulfate-free cleansing cream transforms from a rich cream into an easy-to-rinse concentrated foam, providing a luxurious cleansing experience without stripping the hair . The formula is designed to be gentle enough for daily or weekly use on color-treated, bleached, or sensitized hair .

• How it helps your hair: For the person whose hair feels stripped or dry after using regular shampoos, this provides a gentle cleanse that removes impurities without compromising hair health.
