Match a Total Results range to your hair, keep your colour true between visits, and finish with a multi-benefit treatment.

01

Cleanse

Wash with a Total Results shampoo matched to your hair — Mega Sleek to smooth, High Amplify for volume, Moisture Me for dryness.

02

Tone

Keep colour true between salon visits — Brass Off neutralises brass on brunettes, So Silver cools blonde and grey.

03

Treat

Stylist tip — use a toning shampoo (Brass Off or So Silver) once or twice a week rather than daily, alternating with your regular shampoo to avoid over-toning.
