The REF Illuminate Colour line is designed for coloured hair, but works just as well if you have naturally dull hair and want more shine. These are the benefits you'll notice daily:

• Colour stays vibrant longer after each wash
• Hair feels softer and is easier to comb
• Less frizz after drying
• Hair looks shinier
• Gentle cleansing that doesn’t dry out coloured hair
• Vegan formula, cruelty-free
• Both 100 ml bottles fit in your hand luggage
• Suitable for all hair types

1. Wet your hair thoroughly in the shower.
2. Work a generous amount of the REF Illuminate Colour Shampoo 100 ml through your hair, massage well and rinse out.
3. Apply the REF Illuminate Colour Conditioner 100 ml to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair.
4. Leave the conditioner in for 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Want to add extra shine after washing? The Illuminate Colour Instant Shine is a perfect follow-up. Apply it to dry hair for an instantly visible result: more shine without weighing your hair down.

Your colour lasts longer and looks shinier thanks to the organic açai oil in the formula. Açai is rich in antioxidants that protect your hair from external factors like sun and pollution, which speed up colour fading. The conditioner has a mildly acidic pH that helps close the hair cuticles after washing. This is exactly what adds shine and locks in colour. The REF Stockholm shampoo and conditioner are both Vegan and cruelty-free, a conscious choice from this Swedish brand. If you're looking for a Vegan shampoo for coloured hair with shine, this is a solid option that won’t weigh your hair down.

Yes. The line is made for coloured hair but also works well on uncoloured hair that needs extra shine and protection. If you have very fine hair, use a small amount of conditioner and apply it only to the ends, not on the scalp. This prevents your hair from looking flat too quickly.

The shampoo for coloured hair that retains colour works via a Colour Preserve System with sunflower oil and açai oil. This combination protects your colour from washing out and environmentalSi effects. It’s a brand claim, but the ingredients back it up. Don’t expect a miracle after one wash, but with regular use, you’ll notice your colour stays bright longer.

Yes, all REF hair products are Vegan and not tested on animals. The REF Stockholm shampoo and conditioner contain organic plant-based ingredients and no animal components. This also applies to the REF hair products from the Illuminate Colour line.

There are good alternatives on the market, such as L'Oréal ProfesSionnel Vitamino Color and Schwarzkopf BC Color Freeze. These are well established in salons and come with extensive clinical tests. If you have very bleached hair or need very targeted colour care, those lines might offer a bit more. But if you want to buy consciously, want a Vegan formula, and still expect good results, the REF Illuminate Color Duo Travelsize - 2x100ml is a better choice. The REF hair products from this line combine Scandinavian simplicity with profesSisional performance, without unnecessary additives. The Travelsize also makes it easy to test the line without buying large bottles right away. Want to continue with the full set later? Then check out the Illuminate Colour Set with larger bottles for home use.
