Your pipes have been leaching copper into your shower for years, and your hair has been catching it like a sponge. That is why the colour keeps shifting and the ends keep snapping, and it is precisely the problem this Metal Detox trio was built to solve.
TL;DR: The complete three-step Metal Detox routine from L'Oréal Professionnel: anti-metal cleansing cream shampoo, anti-deposit protector mask and the anti-metal high protection leave-in cream. All three run on Glicoamine, a patented molecule small enough to get inside the hair fibre, trap the metal that hard water leaves behind and neutralise it, helping prevent breakage and colour shift. Essential kit for anyone who colours, balayages or bleaches.

The technology behind it
- Glicoamine: the patented active at the centre of the Metal Detox range. Unlike surface treatments, it is small enough to penetrate the hair fibre, where it tracks down metal particles and neutralises their effect from the inside.
- Why metal matters: copper and other metals erode from water pipes and accumulate inside the hair wash after wash. How much you are carrying depends on your hair's porosity and your local water quality, which is why two people booking the same colour can walk out with very different results.
Best suited to: all hair textures, and particularly colour-treated, bleached, highlighted and damaged hair. If you live with hard water, this range was written for you.
How to Use
- Apply the Metal Detox Shampoo evenly to wet hair and work it into a rich foam. Rinse.
- Apply the Metal Detox Mask through towel-dried hair, concentrating on the mid-lengths and ends. Leave on for three to five minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
- On towel-dried hair, warm one to two pumps of the High Protection Cream in your palms and spread evenly from mid-lengths to ends, up to four pumps for longer or thicker hair. Do not rinse. Blow-dry or air-dry as usual.
Pro tip: Run the shampoo and mask for the week before your next colour appointment, not just the weeks after it. Metal sitting inside the fibre is what reacts badly with colour and lightener in the first place, so clearing it beforehand hands your colourist a cleaner canvas and a more predictable result. Mention it when you book, they will be glad you did.
