The L’Oreal Professionnel Metal Detox Concentrated Oil uses a patented technology that works to strengthen, prevent breakage, boost shine and protect hair against metal deposits.
In case you missed it, there are metals found in our water that are absorbed by our hair. When these levels of metal begin to build up, our hair can lose its shine, and even appear green, grey or flat. Not dissimilar to how a purple shampoo may neutralise brassy tones, the L’Oreal Professionel Metal Detox Concentrated Oil will neutralise unwanted colour (only without leaving behind a residual silver tinge).
Though increased levels of metal in our hair won’t necessarily impact our health, research conducted by L’Oreal Professionel revealed that it will have an impact on the results of hair lightening or balayage. Though the oil will be effective for any shade of hair, it is particularly potent when used on blondes.
The oil’s superstar ingredient glicoamine has been infused into the formulation to efficiently detoxify the hair by neutralising metal deposits within the hair fibre.
Members of the Trial Team had hair types that ranged from colour-treated, bleached and damaged to completely natural. However, even though they all differed in texture and damage levels, each user reported a visible improvement in the quality and health of their hair after using L’Oreal’s oil.
Members of the trial described the oil as thick in consistency, however, those with fine hair were pleased to report that it did not weigh hair down or feel too heavy as other oils typically did. For those who had hair prone to breakage (particularly after years of bleaching) two pumps onto dry hair before bed saw users waking up with significantly stronger, fuller and smoother strands.
Perhaps the biggest win for members with curly hair was the oil’s ability to ward off the frizz-inducing impacts of a humid day. After just one use, the moisture in the air was unable to wreak its usual havoc as members reported their hair remained manageable, silky and just as they left it at the beginning of the day.
For those who preferred to apply the oil to towel-dried hair before styling with heat tools, they were thrilled that this product had the added benefit of heat protection up to 230° C.
So what’s the verdict? Well, based on the appearance and strength of their hair, members were impressed. Though some initially viewed this product as a ‘nice to have’ rather than a need, they quickly changed their minds after realising that this oil acted like an everything-in-one. Considering it did everything from neutralise brassy tones and nourish dry strands to strengthen fine hair and even protect against the damaging impacts of heat tools, it felt like a no-brainer to continue using this oil at the conclusion of the trial.

“On the scent alone I was already sold. So divine. My hair hasn’t looked this good in so long. This product is truly beautiful and for someone who straightens their curls like me and is in a constant battle with humidity this truly is the answer. I adore it, I cannot remember when my hair felt so silky or if it ever has. Knots are NOT a problem and one pump of the nozzle was all I needed on my towel dried hair, I also used it the following day on my dry hair and it calmed down the escapees and provided a sleek finish to my pony tail!” – Justjo, read more reviews here…
“I have been blown away about how soft it leaves my hair and how nourishing it feels. I love that it helps against hair breakage and also has heat protecting ingredients, so it’s like an all in one product. I use it with comfort knowing it is looking after the health of my hair so I will definitely continue to use it and I look forward to seeing further results.” – b_osadczuk, read more reviews here…
“After using this product I noticed less hair breakage! My hair definitely felt a lot stronger! The technology in this product is exclusive to the brand, and I believe that to be a strong selling point for the product! It also has mentioned on the packaging that it is a worldwide discovery with over seven years of research and development! I like how you can use the product daily on dry or towel dried hair, not just wet hair!” – Chloe23, read more reviews here…
“I was sceptical at first but I have to say I Highly recommend this oil. Doesn’t leave the hair feeling oily and no build up from the product. Does not feel sticky but it is thicker then oil. More like a serum. Apply from mid length and ends, and have noticed less breakage. The hair always feels and looks hydrated.” – Batoulz, read more reviews here…
