General info
Color Defence is a prescriptive colour maintenance system for coloured hair comprising of a range of non-ammonia temporary toning shampoos and re-hydrators in 9 shades. Not only can it be used as an integral part of the salon's Colour Services but also as a Home Maintenance System to maintain the vibrancy, shine and condition between permanent dye applications. It is designed to enable the colourist to easily mix a shampoo and re-hydrator to match the client’s salon colour.
Permanent colour will fade and become dull over time due to UV light, heat from straighteners, harsh shampoos and chlorine in swimming pools. The use of the Color Defence Colour Shampoo followed by the corresponding Color Defence moisturising option will guarantee an optimal colour and care result refreshing the permanent colour.
The Color Defence Colour Shampoo is a gentle cleansing colour depositing shampoo, which can be used either on its own or after a low pH cleansing shampoo. It contains a UV filter to protect the dyes and the hair from UV-induced fading. The Color Defence Colour Re-hydrator is a non-greasy colour depositing conditioner used to close and smooth the hair cuticle, improving the adhesion of the dyes by locking them in. It contains a mix of active ingredients including wheat protein and ceramides leaving your hair feeling soft and shiny.
The Color Defence System is not intended to replace a permanent or semi-permanent dye – it is meant to intensify, correct or harmonise an existing colour. Both the shampoos and re-hydrators are highly charged with temporary dyes and ultra-shiny particles of pearlized mica which are deposited only on the surface of the hair shaft, and with regular use will intensify the colour obtained. If application is discontinued, the colour will gradually fade and wash out with no unsightly re-growth at the roots. Neither the shampoo nor the re-hydrator contain ammonia, oxidizing agents, sulphates or alcohol and both are compatible with all hair dyes.
