L'Oréal Vitamino Color Spectrum: long-lasting radiant colour for every colour type
L'Oréal Vitamino Color Spectrum focuses on several aspects of coloured hair: shine, saturation, contrast, tone and clarity. The full L'Oréal Vitamino Color Spectrum routine is tested for colour retention. The stated results for lasting colour retention apply to the complete routine, not the individual products.
Your shampoo choice depends on your hair colour and the tone you want to correct. For general coloured hair care, use the regular shampoo. If you notice unwanted warm tones, you can choose a pigmented variant: purple for yellow tones in blonde or lightened hair, blue for orange tones in light brown hair and green for red tones in dark brown hair. So mainly look at the undertone you want to neutralise.
L'Oréal Vitamino Color Spectrum contains ferulic acid and citric acid and is developed to keep coloured hair beautiful for longer. Colour pigments may gradually fade from the hair fibre during washing and UV exposure can further affect colour changes. That’s why this range focuses on protecting colour and maintaining a clear, cared-for look.
Use a neutralising shampoo as a targeted step, but not as a standard. If you don’t have unwanted yellow, orange or red tones, the regular shampoo is the better base. Want to compare more? Also check out the collection of shampoos for coloured hair.
Shampoo, conditioner, mask or serum: create your Vitamino Color Spectrum routine
With L'Oréal Vitamino Color Spectrum you can easily create a care routine for coloured hair. Start with a shampoo, then choose a conditioner or mask that suits your hair’s needs, and finish with the Glass Shine Serum. This leave-in serum adds extra shine and helps protect hair while styling.
Keep this in mind when creating your routine:
Choose a neutralising shampoo only if you want to correct yellow, orange or red tones. For general colour care, the regular shampoo is more suitable.
Use conditioner if you mainly want to maintain softness and detangling. Choose a mask if your lengths feel drier and need more intensive care.
Apply the Glass Shine Serum to towel-dried or dry hair. This serum does not rinse out and is the last care step before styling.
The Vitamino Color Spectrum hair mask is used after washing when your hair needs more intensive care. You don’t have to use the mask together with conditioner—usually you pick one or the other. If you want extra shine and care afterwards without rinsing out, use the Glass Shine Serum as a leave-in step.
The serum from L'Oréal Vitamino Color Spectrum is the final step for extra shine, less frizz and protection during styling. The formula offers heat protection up to 230 °C, suitable to apply before using a hairdryer, straightener or curling iron.
How to keep your colour treatment looking fresh longer with L'Oréal Vitamino Color Spectrum
Besides using L'Oréal Vitamino Color Spectrum, your washing and styling habits also play a key role in keeping your hair colour looking great. Frequent washing can speed up colour fading and UV exposure can affect the vibrancy of your colour.
So don’t wash more often than necessary for your scalp and hair. That doesn’t mean delaying washes too long: oil, sweat and styling residues still need to be properly removed. The goal is clean hair with as few unnecessary washes as possible.
If you regularly use a hairdryer, straightener or curling iron, choose a product with heat protection, like the Glass Shine Serum from L'Oréal Vitamino Color Spectrum. Also try not to style hotter than needed to achieve your desired result.
If unwanted warm tones appear again in your coloured hair, a neutralising shampoo may be a targeted addition. Within L'Oréal Color Spectrum, choose purple for yellow tones, blue for orange tones and green for red tones. Use the pigmented shampoo according to package instructions and switch back to the regular shampoo when extra neutralising is no longer needed.
This keeps L'Oréal Vitamino Color Spectrum simple: a cleanser matching your colour, one matching rinse-out treatment step and optionally a leave-in serum. Still unsure? Contact us Team. We’ll gladly help you pick L'Oréal Vitamino Color Spectrum products that suit your hair and care needs.
Frequently Asked Questions about L'Oréal Vitamino Color Spectrum
Want to know more about Vitamino Color Spectrum? Below you'll find answers to frequently asked questions, from the difference with Vitamino Color to tips for use.
What is the difference between Vitamino Color and Vitamino Color Spectrum?
Vitamino Color protects coloured hair against fading, while Vitamino Color Spectrum also pays attention to five aspects of your colour: shine, colour intensity, contrast, hue, and brightness. The formulas also differ: the original line uses resveratrol, while Spectrum combines ferulic acid and citric acid. Both lines care for your hair and keep your colour looking beautiful for longer.
Is Vitamino Color Spectrum suitable for coloured curls?
Yes, Vitamino Color Spectrum also cares for coloured curls and wavy hair, protecting your colour from fading. For curly hair, combine the shampoo with the matching mask. The mask gives your lengths extra hydration, making your curls soft and supple while keeping your hair colour beautifully radiant.
When should you start using the purple shampoo after colouring?
Use the purple shampoo from two weeks after your hairdresser visit, as soon as you notice an unwanted yellow tint in your blonde hair. Leave the shampoo on for two to five minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Alternate with a shampoo without pigments to prevent buildup of pigments and product residues.
Do you need to activate the Glass Shine Serum with heat?
Yes, heat activates the Glass Shine Serum: the ingredient alpha-silane then forms a protective layer around your hair. Apply the serum to clean, towel-dried hair and distribute it over the lengths and ends. Do not rinse it out. Then blow-dry your hair and style as usual.
