Understanding Metal Detox for Hair
Hair breakage following a color treatment might not always be due to the coloring process. It can often be caused by excess metals, particularly copper, in the hair fibers. This copper can accumulate in your hair from water used in daily washing, often due to pipe erosion.
When hair coloring ingredients interact with copper, they can trigger adverse reactions, making the hair more prone to breakage. To counter this, products like L’Oréal’s Metal Detox range have been developed to remove excess metals from hair. Natural remedies like citric acids, lemon juice, and tomato juice can also effectively treat hair to remove these unwanted metal deposits.
