Serie Expert [Metal DX] Sulfate-free Metal DX shampoo​

FAQs

• 1. What makes the Metal DX shampoo different from a regular cleansing shampoo?

  Unlike a standard cleansing shampoo that only lifts surface dirt, the L'Oréal Professionnel Metal DX shampoo is powered by patented Glicoamine technology to actively neutralize metal particles inside the fiber. It detoxifies hair post-color while gently cleansing , delivering both purification and protection in one step.

• 2. Is the Metal DX shampoo an effective shampoo for hair breakage caused by hard water?

  Yes. Metal accumulation from hard water weakens the hair fiber over time, causing breakage. This shampoo for hair breakage is clinically tested to deliver 97% less breakage risk* when used as part of the complete Metal DX protocol, restoring elasticity, resistance, and healthy-looking hair.

  *Instrumental test: Metal DX pre-treatment + technical procedure + shampoo + mask.

   

• 3. How does the L'Oréal Professionnel Metal DX shampoo work as a metal detox shampoo?-

  The L'Oréal Professionnel Metal DX shampoo acts as a metal detox shampoo by using Glicoamine, a molecule small enough to penetrate deep inside the hair fiber, to seek out and neutralize accumulated metal particles like copper. This actively detoxifies the fiber and restores its natural shine and health.

• 4. Why is the Metal DX anti-metal cleansing shampoo sulfate-free?

  Being sulfate-free makes this cleansing shampoo gentle enough for color-treated and over-processed hair without stripping moisture or accelerating color fade. The rich cream texture transforms into a concentrated foam that lifts impurities and metal deposits cleanly, without compromising the integrity of chemically treated lengths.

• 5. What texture does the Metal DX shampoo have, and how does it lather?

  The L'Oréal Professionnel Metal DX shampoo is a cream shampoo with a uniquely light gel texture that transforms into a concentrated, rich foam upon emulsion with water. Despite the creamy consistency, it rinses out easily, leaving hair feeling clean, bouncy, and noticeably healthier after just one wash.

• 6. When in a color service should I use the Metal DX shampoo for detox?

  This shampoo for detox is Step 2 in the Metal DX in-salon protocol, used after any color, balayage, or lightening service.

  *No impact on lift, and optimized color uptake.

   

• 7. Is the metal dx shampoo suitable for over-processed or sensitized hair?

  Yes. The Metal DX shampoo is specifically recommended for over-processed hair and is suitable for all hair types.

• 9. Does the Metal DX shampoo help with color longevity after a balayage or lightening service?
