L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Oil is a lightweight finishing oil that reduces breakage by up to 97% while shielding hair from metal-induced damage. It neutralises metal particles that dull colour and weaken strands, adding a velvety, high-shine finish to colour-treated and chemically processed hair.

Benefits
  • Up to 97% less breakage — fortifies against daily stress.
  • Neutralises metals — protects colour and texture.
  • Brilliant shine — a velvety, weightless finish.
  • Colour-safe — preserves vibrancy on dyed hair.
How to use
  1. On clean, towel-dried hair, dispense 1–2 pumps (1 for fine, 2 for thick).
  2. Smooth through mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the scalp.
  3. Style as usual, or use as a finishing touch on dry hair.

Why our stylists rate it
From the Partners Hair team
L'Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Metal Detox Concentrated Oil is an anti-metal protecting oil for all hair types. Part of the Serie Expert Metal Detox range — powered by patented Glicoamine. A lightweight concentrated oil that protects hair from metal-particle deposits while smoothing, replumping, and adding shine, with frizz control and heat protection up to 230°C.

Best for: colour-treated, bleached, or dry hair needing daily shine, smoothing, and metal protection; a finishing and pre-styling oil with heat protection; taming frizz on coloured or damaged lengths; the leave-in step in a Metal Detox routine.
Less suited to: deep internal repair on its own (use the Metal Detox Mask); very fine hair an oil could weigh down (use sparingly); curls needing definition (use L'Oréal Curl Expression); colour vibrancy without metal concerns (use L'Oréal Vitamino Color).

Key actives:
- Glicoamine — patented molecule that traps and neutralises metal inside the fibre and protects from new deposits
- Conditioning oil blend — smooths, replumps, and adds shine

Benefits:
- Protects hair from metal-particle deposits
- 4x more frizz control and heat protection up to 230°C (450°F)
- Instantly smoother, replumped, and more nourished
- Up to 2x shinier with preserved colour
- Lightweight, non-greasy; for all hair types

How to use: Apply daily to dry or towel-dried hair. Warm 1 to 2 pumps in the palms and spread evenly from mid-lengths to ends. Can be used before styling for shine and heat protection. Do not rinse.

Format: 50ml leave-in oil.
