What causes hair breakage and color fading during the summer?

Hair breakage and color fading are primarily caused by the interaction between UV rays, chlorine, and metal particles inside the hair fiber. When copper from pool water accumulates, sun exposure triggers oxidative stress, degrading the hair structure.

How does Metal Detox help with sun damaged hair and chlorine exposure?

The Metal Detox system neutralizes the metal particles that cause oxidative stress. The formula features Glicoamine, which penetrates the hair fibre to trap copper. By removing these metals, the system prevents damaging chemical reactions.

How do you use the Metal Detox system in your summer hair care routine?

Start by washing your hair with Metal Detox Shampoo after swimming in a pool or the ocean. Follow immediately with the Metal Detox Mask on towel-dried hair. Leave the mask on for up to 15 minutes for maximum hydration before rinsing.

Protect your hair from chlorine and sun damage this summer.

Summer is brutal on hair, causing breakage and dullness. 95% of summer hair damage comes from UV rays, salt, and chlorine water, not humidity. The L'Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox system neutralizes metals inside the fibre, stopping damage before it starts for optimal summer hair care.
