Tinted shampoos from the company are an unusual combination: an excellent tool for cleansing hair and scalp, as well as giving a bright shade to curls.

Advantages
The main advantage of the L'Oreal Professional line is the temporary effect on the hair. For girls, this is a very big advantage: if you need to evaluate how a particular shade will look on the strands, these shampoos are best suited. The use of shampoo allows you to revive the color, makes it possible to overflow several shades, and also improves the condition of the structure of the hair surface.
The advantage is that this composition, having no parabens and acids, does not penetrate inside, but envelops each hair with a protective film, which is dyed. This thickens the curls and gives them volume.
It is not difficult to remove the pigment from the hair: after washing the head (several times), it is removed without a trace. Another plus: this is the absence of ugly residual effects on the curls. Shampoos with the effect of temporary paint from L'Oreal have a gentle composition, and coloring pigments do not damage the protective layer of hairs. Even a caring effect is noticeable with regular use, but the duration of its use should be several weeks.
Structural features and type of hair is also important: for example, the shade will wash off faster from gray strands, and for blondes it is necessary to carefully select the shade so that unpleasant shades do not occur. For dark hair, you can use the most saturated shades of any palette - this will add depth and brightness.

Compound
The composition of tinted shampoos should not contain ammonia and oxidizing elements. The first negatively affects the very structure of the hair - it destroys the keratin layer, and this leads to brittleness and thinning. And the second - thinning hairs.In the correct composition must be present plant extracts - their natural pigments form a thin film of color type on the surface of the hairs, but do not penetrate inside. Due to such inclusions, a temporary staining effect is observed.
For uniform hair color, remember the "golden rule": do not use shampoos earlier than two weeks after perm and other aggressive hair manipulations. Natural pigment can unevenly color hair.
When buying a product, you need to remember that it is still a shampoo, so it should clean your hair without damaging it. To do this, immediately after the water, foaming agents should go in the composition - only laureth sulfates. For example, laurils dry out hair and dehydrate the epidermis of the head. Next should be the cleansing type pubs. Better if it is betaines.
Also, the manufacturer must include nutritional supplements and mineral compounds, such as protein fibers, jojoba oil and avocado - these are fatty acids that can protect hair from the harmful effects of parabens. It is these inclusions that tint shampoos from L'Oreal have.

Reviews
Most reviews about tinted shampoos from L'Oreal are positive. The girls note that the remedy lies flat on natural curls, does not damage them, but, on the contrary, takes care of them. According to some, this remedy is perfect for hair that has never been dyed. The natural shade is preserved as much as possible, and the paint can be washed off in several applications.
As some explain, there are too few shades, so the choice is not very large - many people want a more extensive palette of colors. But there are also explanations: on each shade and type of hair, the shade “plays” in its own way: for some it turns out brighter, for some with overflows, and for some it covers unevenly. The color depends on the level of damage to the curls and their tone.
It is better to keep tint shampoos on the hair for about 20-25 minutes, especially on curls that have never been dyed. Otherwise, the effect of color shading may not even occur.
Some reviews are different from the rest: the girls talk about how the color turned out to be uneven and very different from what was stated on the package. However, such cases are rare.
The red shade is very popular. According to reviews, it is applicable to any color, it looks bright and impressive on curls, but for blondes it turns out to be more pink and it is very difficult to wash out.
In general, the reviews are positive: the shades suit, and the caring effect is observed after using the shampoo for a month. The only thing that sometimes does not suit customers is the high price.
