LOr al Professionnel Paris Metal Detox Shampoo - Sulfate-Free Anti-Breakage Shampoo For Damaged or Color-Treated Hair Detoxifies Prevents

After moving somewhere with very hard (and specifically iron filled) water a few years ago, my hair really began to suffer. It started breaking off like crazy, wouldn't (or couldn't) grow fast enough to make up for it, and anywhere my hair was color treated, the dye washed out and was replaced with a nasty bright orange color. I tried everything. Seriously, everything. The Malibu Hard Water kit did absolutely nothing for me, all it did was dry out my hair without actually removing what I needed it to. The filter I put on my showerhead wasn't able to block enough of the iron in the water to make a noticeable difference, no matter what brand I tried. There are only TWO products that have helped with the iron in my hair, and this is one of them. I've been using this shampoo for a few months now (I use it about once a week to try to make it last longer since it's so expensive, but I also only wash my hair twice a week, so every other time) and I've noticed a difference in the quality of my hair. While it's still more prone to breakage than it was before I moved here, it's softer and I don't have to clean my hairbrush as often. The most noticeable difference is that the bright orange iron deposits in my hair are gone now - it's just a faded, normal blonde color. I don't think my hair will ever get back to how it was as long as I'm using this water, but using this shampoo makes it bearable and I no longer feel like I'm under threat of losing literally all of my hair. If you're having issues with iron or other metals in your water affecting your hair, this is the shampoo you want. And if you're really desperate and need extra help, there's one more product that I've found to actually work among the many I've tried: Color Wow Dream Filter Pre Shampoo Mineral Remover. You spray it on your dry hair and wait a few minutes before getting into the shower and rinsing it off, but I usually leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Then you shampoo and condition like usual. This was the only product that worked for me at all before using this shampoo - it made my hair softer and noticeably less orange. The shampoo has been working so well that I haven't bothered to buy more of it and try the two of them together, but if you're in a serious situation with your hair and need help, get both of these products. They're the only ones that have worked for me out of everything advertised for it. (And as a side note, I always chose to purchase the Dream Filter Mineral Remover from Sephora to make sure that I was getting a genuine product. I buy a lot of things from Amazon, but if I read the reviews and get the hint that there might be illegitimate copies mixed into the product supply, I find it somewhere else. I bought the shampoo here because I didn't see anything to indicate that was the case, but you might want to go to Sephora for the other just to be safe. It's usually expensive beauty products that they do this with.) Read more

After my water filter that removes iron malfunctioned, my hair became dry, brittle, tangled, and wouldn’t hold a curl. I didn’t realize at first the cause and was convinced my hair was never going to looks nice again. One wash with this, the orange faded and my hair felt better. Three washes and the orange is gone and my hair has never ever looked or felt so good! Soft and detangled, but not weighed down at all. Holds curl for days! I’m a little concerned the dimethicone might eventually cause buildup but I’ll just alternate with a “cone”-free shampoo if it does. So glad I found this! Wish I had taken before photos! Read more

I purchased this along with the pre-shampoo treatment, the conditioning mask, and the conditioning cream. After looking up specifically how to use them all I finally did my hair treatment last week and was amazed. I have long curly frizzy hair which tends to be dry. After using these products I blew my hair out straight and it was silky soft in a way I’ve never felt it. I used them on my daughter last night and blew her hair out and she loved how her hair felt and also loved the scent. We have hard well water and even though we have a water softener system I still feel like the water is hard and my hair always feels so dry and frizzy. I plan to use these once a week and hope my hair will get healthier and have less breakage. They are a little pricey but I don’t mind since they made my hair feel so amazing. On top of that you don’t need to use a lot of product. I probably have to use more than most people because my hair is long and I have a lot of it but still the shampoo did lather up nicely using only a little over a quarter coin size amount. Highly recommend for anyone with hard water. Read more

I’ve been struggling with my blonde hair and well water and this shampoo is a game changer. It removes all the dullness and brassy tones without stripping my blonde color. My hair feels soft, clean and brighter after each use. A little goes a long way so the value is good. Definitely a must have for anyone with blonde hair and well water. Read more

Great product. We have a well and despite the filtering system, I still get some bold up. This product works great and doesn’t damage your hair. Read more

I love the way my hair feels after use. Hard to say at this early stage, the long term effects it will have. The bottle is 10.1 fl oz and is on the pricey side, but if can detox my hair, I think it's worth it. Read more

This stuff does work! I love the smell and the creamy texture of the shampoo doesn't leave my hair like hay like most detox/clarifying shampoos do. I color my hair an ashy pearl blond, but the hard water often turns it brassy way earlier than it should. After using this and following up with a purple toning shampoo and deep conditioner, my hair was back to the original color once I was done. Really do wish we got a bigger size considering the price, but I'd say if you color your hair and deal with bad hard water, this is well worth a try if you have tried everything else! Read more

I had a metal build up in my hair due to poor water quality in my area. This product coupled with the detox hair mask saved my hair. My hair is soft and manageable again. Read more
