L'Oréal Metal Detox

L'Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Hair Mask is the protective mask from the Série Expert Metal Detox range. Wash after wash, metal particles in the water, such as copper, build up in the hair. They can lead to breakage and unpredictable results when dyeing, balayage, and bleaching. The mask protects the fiber against the deposition of new metals.

What it does for you

• Stronger hair, with a strengthened fiber that is much more resistant to breakage.
• Less porous fiber, protected against the deposition of new metal particles.
• True-to-tone, long-lasting color, with intense highlights.
• Intense shine and silkier hair, nourished deep down.
• Vegan and sulfate-free formula.

How to use it at home

1. Wash your hair with Metal Detox shampoo, after a pre-shampoo treatment, if you use one.
2. Apply 15–20 ml of mask to wet hair.
3. Distribute evenly through the lengths and ends.
4. Twist the hair and leave on for 2–5 minutes. For more intense hydration, leave on for up to 15 minutes.
5. Rinse, then finish with the concentrated oil or Metal Detox leave-in cream.

For what hair type

For dyed, bleached, balayage, or over-sensitized hair, especially if the water in your area is hard. The metal content in the hair depends on the porosity of the fiber and the quality of the water. The mask does not neutralize yellow tones and does not replace trimming already broken ends.

Active ingredients

• Glycoamine: the patented technology of the Metal Detox range, a molecule small enough to penetrate the fiber and neutralize metals.

What else you need

• Metal Detox Cream Shampoo
• Metal Detox Pre-Shampoo Treatment 250 ml
• Metal Detox Concentrated Oil 50 ml
• Metal Detox Leave-In Cream 100 ml

ProBeauty Tip. If your hair is very porous after bleaching, don't rush: leave the mask on for up to 15 minutes for more intense hydration. On regular days, 2–5 minutes are enough.

L'Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Cream Shampoo is the cleansing shampoo in the Série Expert Metal Detox range. Cleanses hair after any coloring, balayage, or bleaching. The rich cream transforms into a concentrated foam that gently cleanses the hair fiber and removes accumulated metal particles, such as copper.

What it does for you

• Eliminates the buildup of metals and other pollution particles from the hair.
• Uniform, long-lasting, and intensely shiny color after coloring.
• Gentle cleansing, sulfate-free.
• Hair that looks healthier and regains its shine.
• Citrus fragrance with musk notes, easily recognizable.

How to use it at home

1. If you use the Metal Detox pre-shampoo, do not rinse it: apply the shampoo directly over it.
2. Distribute the shampoo on wet hair and emulsify until you obtain a creamy texture.
3. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Continue with the Metal Detox mask.

For what type of hair

For colored, bleached, balayage, or over-sensitized hair. It is also useful for hair weakened by repeated coloring or exposed to metals in the water. The 500 ml refill refills the bottle. It does not neutralize the yellow tones of blonde hair.

Active ingredients

• Glycoamine: the patented technology of the Metal Detox range, a molecule small enough to penetrate the hair fiber and neutralize metals.

What else you need

• Metal Detox Mask
• Metal Detox Pre-Shampoo Treatment 250 ml
• Metal Detox Leave-In Cream 100 ml
• Metal Detox Concentrated Oil 50 ml
• Metal Detox Shampoo, Mask, and Cream Set

ProBeauty Tip. Emulsify the shampoo well with a little water before spreading it. The cream texture transforms into foam and reaches all the hair more easily. If the hair is very porous, apply the Metal Detox pre-shampoo first.

L'Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Leave-In Cream 100 ml is the high-protection cream from the Série Expert Metal Detox range. Concentrated with 1% glycoamine, it removes metals from the hair and protects the fiber from the deposition of new particles. This helps prevent hair breakage and color fading.

What it does for you

• High protection against UV rays, oxidation, brushing, and heat, thanks to UV filters.
• Intense hydration and frizz control, even in high humidity.
• Stronger and shinier hair, with color that lasts longer.
• Easier to style hair, softer and smoother.
• Melting texture, absorbed instantly, that does not weigh down the hair.

How to use it at home

1. Wash your hair and towel-dry it.
2. Apply 1–2 pumps to damp hair.
3. Distribute evenly from mid-lengths to ends.
4. If you have long or thick hair, add more, up to 4 pumps in total.
5. Do not rinse. Blow-dry your hair or let it air-dry.

For what type of hair

For all hair types and textures: colored, damaged, bleached, and natural. Works on short or long hair, straight or curly. Use daily, after any routine. It does not replace a mask when the hair needs intense hydration.

Active ingredients

• 1% Glycoamine: the patented molecule of the range, which neutralizes metal inside the hair shaft.
• Ionene: part of the cream's patented technology, along with glycoamine.
• UV Filters: protect the hair from UV rays and the oxidation they cause.

What else you need

• Metal Detox Cream Shampoo
• Metal Detox Mask
• Metal Detox Concentrated Oil 50 ml
• Metal Detox Pre-Shampoo Treatment 250 ml

ProBeauty Tip. On fine hair, start with a single pump and add more only if the ends still feel dry. It is better to add a little at a time than to apply too much at once.

L'Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Pre-Shampoo Treatment 250 ml is the first step in the Série Expert Metal Detox routine. Metals in water are one of the main causes of hair breakage, and porous hair absorbs even more water with metals. The pre-shampoo reduces porosity exactly when the hair is most vulnerable: before shampooing.

What it does for you

• Fills micro-breaks on the surface of the hair strand and inside, with an anti-porosity effect.
• Instantly detangles all hair types and makes washing easier.
• Hydration, smoothness and softness after washing.
• Hair that looks healthier and fuller with continuous use.
• Vegan and sulfate-free formula, with a light gel texture, with no waiting time.

How to use it at home

1. Divide wet hair into 2 sections.
2. Apply 2–4 pumps to each section, depending on the length of the hair.
3. Work the product into the lengths and ends for 1–2 minutes, until a light foam appears. Detangle the hair with your fingers.
4. Do not rinse. Apply Metal Detox shampoo directly over it, starting from the roots, then rinse.
5. Continue with the mask and the Metal Detox oil or cream.

For what hair type

For all hair types: colored, damaged, sensitized, bleached or natural. It can be used at every wash. It is most useful if you have porous hair that breaks easily. It is not a shampoo and does not wash the hair alone.

Active ingredients

• Glycoller 2%: a dual-action active ingredient. On the surface, it coats the fiber and fills micro-breaks, while inside it penetrates into the cortex.

What else you need

• Metal Detox Cream Shampoo
• Metal Detox Mask
• Metal Detox Concentrated Oil 50 ml
• Metal Detox Leave-In Cream 100 ml

ProBeauty Tip. Work in sections and do not skip detangling with your fingers. With the pre-shampoo on the hair, knots come undone more easily before the hair is washed.

L'Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Concentrated Oil 50 ml is the protective oil in the Série Expert Metal Detox range. Enriched with glycoamine, it protects hair from the build-up of metal particles in water. The rich texture absorbs instantly into the hair fiber without weighing it down.

What it does for you

• Protects the hair fiber from the build-up of metal particles.
• Stronger, nourished hair, instantly smoother and silkier.
• Intense, more radiant color, without a greasy finish.
• Frizz control and protection from heat styling tools.
• Hair that looks fuller, with a lightweight texture.

How to use it at home

1. Apply daily to dry or towel-dried hair.
2. Warm 1–2 pumps of oil in the palms of your hands.
3. Distribute through the lengths and ends, from mid-lengths down.
4. Do not rinse. Blow-dry or allow the hair to air-dry.

For which hair type

For color-treated, bleached, or balayage hair, and for any hair that frizzes or has lost its shine. For fine hair, one pump is enough. The oil should not be applied to the scalp and does not replace a mask when hair is very dry.

Active ingredients

• Glycoamine: the patented technology of the Metal Detox range, a molecule small enough to penetrate the hair fiber and neutralize metals.

What else you need

• Metal Detox Cream Shampoo
• Metal Detox Mask
• Metal Detox Leave-In Cream 100 ml
• Metal Detox Pre-Shampoo Treatment 250 ml

ProBeauty Tip. Warm the oil well between your palms before applying. It spreads more evenly and does not leave shiny patches only on the surface of the hair.
