Whether you love New Year’s resolutions or can’t take the pressure, everyone can agree that fresh, clean hair is essential for starting a new chapter on the right foot.
Ready for the ultimate at-home hair and scalp detox? With Colorproof, you don’t have to sacrifice vibrant hair color to achieve the reset you’re looking for. As always, all of our formulas – even the deep cleansers – both protect and enhance your current shade!
For a fresh and fabulous 2025, here’s a rundown of our favorite Colorproof products for detoxing your scalp, resetting your hair health, and strengthening your color.
How to Give Your Hair a Fresh Start: The Colorproof Guide to Detoxing Your Hair and Scalp
Step 1: Pre-Shampoo Detox
A true hair reset should start before hopping in the shower — one to three minutes beforehand, to be exact! That’s how long it takes for our fan-favorite Pre-Tox Spray to work its magic.
This spray-on solution tackles minerals and hair-dulling gunk without stripping your color. More specifically, it gently removes residue (like sweat and product build-up) and the metals commonly found in hard water, which may be distorting or darkening your hair color without you even realizing it!
Simply spray and saturate it on dry hair, wait one to three minutes, then shampoo as usual in the shower. With lingering residue washed away, your hair will be noticeably brighter and more brilliant.
In other words, Pre-Tox Spray will help you wash away 2024 to make way for a more vibrant 2025!
Step 2: Clarifying Shampoo + Scalp Brush!
Next, instead of using your usual cleanser, consider washing your hair with Clear It Up® Shampoo, our gentle take on clarifying shampoo. Unlike clarifiers you may have used in the past, this formula prolongs the life and vibrancy of hair color (instead of stripping it away!).
Like Pre-Tox Spray, it detoxifies color-dulling build-up and odors, leaving hair clean, soft, and fresher than ever. It also revives limp, tired-feeling hair for a touchable, more manageable finish and features a revitalizing coconut and lemongrass aroma!
To maximize its renewing properties, we also love pairing Clear It Up® Shampoo with our Cleansing Scalp Brush! Designed to stimulate circulation and exfoliate the scalp, this luxury tool helps hair flourish — especially when used during shampooing.
Step 3: Treatment Mask
You’re now ready to move on to the final step of your reset shower: a deep treatment mask. We always recommend using one about twice a week, but now is an excellent time to double-check you’re using the right mask for your hair goals.
- For dry, brittle hair: our Moisture Masque delivers a boost of nourishing hydration on thirsty hair, leaving strands smoother, softer, shinier, and more manageable. If you have split ends, too many tangles, and an overall ‘rough’ texture, this one’s for you!
- For damaged, breaking hair: our two-part Instant Reboot Treatment Masque resets and replenishes damaged hair for a stronger, frizz-free finish with improved manageability. If you’ve over-used heat tools or chemical treatments, give this one a try!
- For brassy blondes: our ultra-pigmented Weekly Blonde Masque is the ultimate Daily Blonde Conditioner for correcting and neutralizing brassy tones. It also helps treat damage caused by lightening and coloring, so you’ll love this one if you’re both brassy and need a recovery conditioner!
Step 4: Scalp Serum + Massage
Hoping to improve your hair growth this year? We have the post-shower treatment for you: Biorepair® Thicken Scalp Serum. Simply apply a few drops into thinning areas along your scalp, massage them in, and let them get to work – no rinsing required.
This powerhouse serum energizes and exfoliates the scalp by removing dead skin cells, build-up, and impurities that impede hair growth. It also works on dry hair, so we recommend using it twice daily.
Of course, this scalp serum works best when paired with our thickening shampoo, Biorepair® Thicken Shampoo, and our award-winning Biorepair® Thicken Conditioner. Together, this 100% vegan, drug-free therapy system creates the optimum environment for hair to thrive thanks to our signature Phyto-CP Complex™ solution.
Cheers to happier scalps and thicker hair in 2025!
Step 5: Leave-In + Stylers
The last step is a must for anyone hoping to enhance their hair health: a leave-in conditioner and — if you plan on using styling tools — a heat protectant.
Think of a leave-in a warm coat on a cold winter day. Without it, you’re left exposed to the elements! No matter your hair color or hair type, our Essential Leave-In will deliver the protection you need. It restores softness, releases tangles, and minimizes static for smooth, manageable hair all day long.
If your hair is particularly damaged, you can also opt for Baobab Recovery Treatment Spray.
Similarly, think of a heat protectant as sunscreen on a beach vacation. Without guarding against heat, your skin and hair can suffer real damage! Luckily, in addition to Essential Leave-In, plenty of our favorite stylers come equipped with protection up to 450 degrees, including:
- Plush Locks Leave-In Smooth that reduce blow-drying time and enhance post-styling shine
- Lift It® Mousse & Super Plump® Whipped Mousse, creamy formulas for boosting body, bounce, and shine.
- Volume Blow Dry Spray & Biorepair® Thicken Blow Dry Spray, heat-activated stylers for long-lasting results.
With these final steps, you can maximize your routine’s results, ensuring each step doesn’t go to waste.
With fresh hair and a fresh year in front of you, we know 2025 will be a year to remember!
