How to Take Care Of Dyed Hair - L'Oreal Professionnel Serie Expert Metal Detox

Hi There..... Do you like to take care of your hair? Have you ever heard of metal detox treatments for your hair?

Perhaps you color your hair, just like me. I don't recall when I started, I only know it was a very long time ago. It almost feels like ages ago. 😁

No, it was not to cover up my grey hair when I started dying my hair first. I just liked blonde more because as a child I used to be outdoors a lot, which made my hair go very light blond. 😊

As I grew older, my hair turned darker. Better dark than grey, I suppose. Then again, you can't see those grey hairs, because they magically all turned blonde. 😜

When I was about 15, we moved to the center of the city. There was a shop in our neighborhood that sold Henna to make your hair lighter or more ginger blonde. 😃

I remember passing there so often on my way to school, staring into the shop window, hesitant to go in. Until one day, I had the guts to go in and buy the stuff. 😀

Ah, brave me, right? Not quite, because it took me several weeks more until I gathered the courage to use the product. I was so afraid of how my hair would turn out. I certainly didn't want to become the laughingstock in class. 😏

Safe to say that after dying my hair for so many years with harsh chemicals, my hair has become dry and frizzy. That's why I was so happy Reviewclub picked me to test the shampoo and mask from the L'Oreal Professionnel Serie Expert Metal Detox line in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍

Metal Detox By L'Oréal

A revolutionary scientific breakthrough that reinforces hair while delivering flawless, lasting color.

After conducting seven years of research and working with hairdressers all over the world, L’Oréal Professionnel Paris has developed Metal Detox, the first protocol to detoxify hair by neutralizing the metal deposits found inside the hair fiber.

The new Metal Detox hair technology addresses a common challenge for hairdressers: even healthy, strong hair can suffer when metal particles inside the fiber react with the oxidant during coloring, balayage, or bleaching, leading to breakage and less predictable color results.

After seven years of collaboration with the University of Ioannina in Greece, our scientists and hair specialists uncovered the root cause of these challenges and developed a solution. 

By studying the structure and composition of hair in detail, the researchers found that the inconsistencies observed by hairdressers were linked to metal particles embedded within the hair fiber, not just those on the surface.

The amount of metal in water differs from place to place. With every wash, tiny metal particles build up inside the hair fiber, particularly impacting porous hair. This not only raises the risk of breakage but also causes metals—especially copper—to interact with the active ingredients in color and lightening products, resulting in unpredictable color outcomes.

The Metal Detox protocol by L’Oréal Professionnel Paris represents the first-ever application for this innovation, through a professional product range built around a three-step process:

Step 1: A pre-treatment that neutralizes metals before coloring, balayage, or bleaching.

Step 2: An anti-metal cleansing cream that purifies the hair afterward.

Step 3: A protective treatment that helps keep new metal particles from reattaching.

My opinion on the L'Oreal Professionnel Serie Expert Metal Detox Shampoo and Mask

I've been using this hair mask in combination with the shampoo for about 2 weeks now, and I'm very happy with it! 😍

The shampoo lets my hair color last longer and gives it a lovely shine. If you combine that with the mask, your hair becomes nice and soft. I also love the smell of these products, spicy with a hint of citrus. 😋

One slight negative was the packaging because the shampoo had fallen over during transport and a small amount of product had leaked out of the container. 😢
