Why do a hair detox before coloring

1. What is a hair detox?

A hair detox purifies the scalp and lengths using natural ingredients such as green clay or rhassoul. It removes silicone residues, occlusive treatments, mineral oils, and pollution particles that build up on the hair fiber.

2. Why is this step essential before a herbal hair color?

Herbal pigments need a clean and receptive hair fiber to adhere properly. If a residue film remains, the color slides off, looks less intense, and fades faster. Detoxing ensures even adhesion, more shine, and longer-lasting color.

3. The concrete benefits

• Purified scalp, better oxygenation of the skin;
• Lighter, shinier hair;
• Even absorption of herbal pigments;
• Clearer reflections, long-lasting depth and radiance.

4. How to do a hair detox at home

1. Mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of green clay with warm water until you get a smooth paste.
2. Apply to damp hair, from roots to ends.
3. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes (ideally under a towel or shower cap).
4. Rinse thoroughly with clear water, without shampoo or conditioner.

Do it the day before or on the same day as your herbal coloring.

5. How often?

As maintenance, once a month is enough. Before a new coloring — especially after chemical dyes or product buildup — detoxing is essential.
