What is a repigmenting treatment? This temporary treatment deposits pigments on the hair's surface, which is why they wash out with shampoo. Avoid confusing it with permanent coloring, which opens the hair cuticle, dissolves natural pigments, and allows artificial ones to penetrate deeply. A key difference: coloring can sensitize strands due to cuticle opening, while repigmenting treatments nourish and strengthen hair from within.
Who is it for? Repigmenting treatments shine for colored hair, restoring intensity and boosting shine. They also enhance natural hair, adding beautiful highlights.
How do you choose one? Options include shampoos, conditioners, and masks in various shades—consult a pro for the perfect match. Note: these aren't true colorants, so stick to shades close to your natural tone, like avoiding golden blonde if you're a brunette.
How to use it? Apply every two washes (or with each if color fades fast). Use shampoo as usual; for conditioners or masks, leave on for several minutes. Pro tip: wash hands after to avoid staining nails.
