A "color thief" in a nice package? 💆🏼♀️🕵🏽♀️
As an aspiring makeup stylist, I've started to take a closer look at what my favorite products actually contain. I've loved this shampoo for its scent and shine, but now I understand why my brown color (which has bleached hair underneath) fades so quickly. Analysis: The main ingredient is Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). As we learn in training, sulfates are effective at dissolving oils and dirt, but they also open up the hair strand's cuticle. For porous, colored hair, this means the color pigments literally get washed out from the inside. Are sulfates always bad? No, absolutely not! They are great as a 'Clarifying Shampoo' when you need a thorough cleaning of styling residues or have a very oily scalp. But as a daily shampoo to 'preserve color' (as the name Color Vive suggests), it works less well. The shine you experience mainly comes from silicones (Dimethicone) that form a coating on the outside, which 'masks' the fact that the pigments are actually disappearing. Pros: Gives incredible shine and scent. Good pH balance with citric acid (but the sulfate dominates here). Affordable for uncolored hair. Cons: - Too harsh for bleached/colored lengths. - Makes cool/brown tones dull quickly. My tip: Have you spent money on a nice salon color? Invest in a sulfate-free line or a professional shampoo like Metal DX or Vitamino Color instead. Save this one for the times you really need a deep cleanse! #lykosocial #hårvård #beautynerd #makeupstylist #ingrediensnörd #colorvive #hårvårdstips #sulfatfritt #färgathår #beautycommunity #recension #hårrutin1 product in post A "color thief" in a nice package? 💆🏼♀️🕵🏽♀️77 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Why you need Metal DX in your routine 🧬
Did you know that metals in your tap water can be the culprit behind hair breakage or dull color? Every time we wash our hair, tiny metal particles (especially copper) penetrate the hair fiber. When these particles then meet chemical treatments like bleaching or coloring, a negative reaction occurs that can lead to hair strands breaking or the shade becoming uneven. Here’s why Metal DX is a revolution: 2 Glicoamine technology: The mask contains the patented molecule Glicoamine. It is small enough to penetrate deep into the hair strand and neutralize the metals from within, not just on the surface. 2 Reduces breakage: With regular use, the risk of hair breakage is reduced by up to 87-97%. 2 Color protection: By removing the metals, the color becomes more accurate (True-to-tone) and stays shiny twice as long. 2 Quick effect: The best part? It only needs to work for 1 minute to deliver results, making it perfect for a busy morning! How I use it: 1. First wash with Metal DX shampoo to open up and cleanse. 2. Apply the mask to towel-dried hair. 3. Rinse after 1-5 minutes. Do you have hard water at home or do you bleach your hair often? Then this is your new best friend. Available to order here at Lyko! ✨ PS: It also smells so incredibly good. #metaldx #lorealpro #hårvårdstips #lykosocial #glicoamine #hairscience1 product in post Why you need Metal DX in your routine 🧬149 views
