Did you know hidden metals in everyday water can dull your colour and weaken your hair?
L’Oréal Professionnel’s Metal Detox system targets those metal particles (like copper) to keep hair strong, glossy, and true-to-tone between salon visits. If you love bright blondes, reflective brunettes, or luminous copper, this is your new essential routine.
What is Metal Buildup — and Why Does It Matter?
Each wash, tiny metal particles from water can accumulate inside the hair fibre. On their own they’re invisible, but when they interact with lightening or colour, they can trigger oxidative stress — leading to breakage, brassiness, and faster colour fade. Hard water areas often notice this even more.
Meet L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox
Metal Detox is a salon-developed system that helps neutralise metal particles inside the hair fibre. Result: less breakage, truer colour, and more shine — without weighing the hair down. We use it in-salon at Di Moda before and after colour services, and there’s a simple at-home routine to maintain results between appointments.
The At-Home Routine (4 Steps)
1) Metal Detox Shampoo
- Gently cleanses away impurities while supporting the metal-neutralising step.
- Keeps the fibre feeling clean but not striped, so colour looks fresh and reflective.
2) Metal Detox Mask
- Nourishes and detangles while helping reinforce the fibre for softness and shine.
- Great for blondes and balayage that need slip without heaviness.
3) Metal Detox Leave-In Treatment
- Daily protection against heat styling (up to 230°C) and environmental stressors.
- Helps keep hair smoother, glossier, and easier to style between washes.
4) Metal Detox Oil/Serum
- Finishing step for long-lasting shine and frizz control.
- Layer a drop through mids–ends on dry hair to revive polish on non-wash days.

Stylist Insight from Maree at Di Moda
“Metal Detox is a game-changer for colour longevity and hair strength. We use it before blonding and colour refreshes to help protect the fibre, and I recommend the at-home routine to keep that salon-fresh gloss between visits.”
How to Use the System (Quick Guide)
- Shampoo twice for a thorough cleanse. Rinse well.
- Mask mid-lengths to ends. Comb through. Leave 3–5 minutes. Rinse.
- Leave-In on towel-dried hair before blow-drying (also works air-dry).
- Oil/Serum 1–2 drops on dry hair to seal shine and tame frizz.
Pro tip: If you’ve had the in-salon Metal Detox pre-treatment before colour, this at-home routine helps maintain those results for longer, with less breakage and more gloss.
FAQs
Will Metal Detox make my hair feel heavy?
No — the formulas are designed to be effective but lightweight, so hair feels clean, smooth, and bouncy.
Can I use it with my bond-building or smoothing routine?
Yes. Metal Detox layers well with repair and smoothing systems. Use Metal Detox on wash days; add your favourite reparative mask or smoothing service schedule as advised in-salon.
How often should I use it?
Use the shampoo and mask on wash days. Apply the leave-in before heat styling, and the oil/serum as needed for polish and frizz control.
