If you’re a newbie to the in-salon treatment scene, something revitalising such as L’Oréal Professionnel’s Metal Detox is a great way to go, as it encompasses so many elements of what we want from our hair in one treatment. Think detoxifying, refreshing, and brightening your existing colour while adding gloss and encouraging up to 87% less breakage*.

Having spent so long indoors, water in our homes is full of far more nasties than you’d think. The UK’s tap water has a 64% concentration of metal in it** causing dryness and quicker colour fade.

In a three-step program of neutralising, cleansing, and protecting containing new beauty buzzword on the block, Glicoamine, you’ll see visible results from one treatment in the form of the glass-like tresses made iconic by the likes of Kim Kardashian.

“It is an active agent small enough to trap and neutralize metal*** inside the fibre,” Charlotte Feltin, Head of L’Oréal Haircare Laboratories, says of the game-changing ingredients in the treatment. “When metal is de-activated, this reduces the risk of breakage during colour services.”

As it’s only available from the professionals themselves (although there are follow-up products to help you continue your new haircare regime at home, with a shampoo and promising to make your hair twice as shiny) it’s the perfect excuse to sit back, relax, and book in for a spring transformation.

A love letter to the hair salon - why we’ll never stop needing IRL pampering
