Pre-Tox Spray

Think of Pre-Tox Spray as a super detox treatment before you shampoo. While a clarifying shampoo works during the cleansing process, Pre-Tox Spray begins targeting buildup before water ever touches your hair.

Over time, styling products, dry shampoo, chlorine (hello swimmer’s green), hard water minerals, excess oil, and environmental pollutants can accumulate on the hair, leaving it feeling heavy, dull, discolored, and difficult to manage. Pre-Tox Spray helps loosen and lift these impurities so your shampoo can work more effectively.

What makes Pre-Tox Spray unique is its blend of high-performance ingredients:

• Volcanic Ash works like a magnet to help extract impurities, buildup, and metals from the hair's surface. • Moringa Seed Oil delivers nourishing fatty acids and zinc to help maintain softness, shine, and manageability. • Vitamins A, C, and E help defend against environmental stressors and free radicals that can contribute to dryness, dullness, and color fade.

Benefits of Pre-Tox Spray include:

• Helps lift product buildup before shampooing • Targets hard water minerals and chlorine deposits • Refreshes dull, weighed-down hair • Helps improve softness and shine • Prepares hair to better receive conditioners and treatments • Supports healthier-looking, more vibrant color

Think of it as deep cleaning for your hair without ever disrupting your color.

Pre-Tox Spray is designed to be used before shampooing and works best on dry hair.

For best results:

• Apply generously to dry hair prior to showering • Focus on areas prone to buildup, such as the crown and mid-lengths • Allow the formula to sit for 1–3 minutes • Wet hair thoroughly • Follow with your favorite Colorproof shampoo and conditioner

Using Pre-Tox Spray before cleansing gives the Volcanic Ash time to help loosen impurities and mineral deposits so they can be more effectively washed away during shampooing.

Stylist Tip: If you live in an area with hard water or regularly swim, use Pre-Tox Spray before your weekly clarifying routine to help restore softness and shine.

Yes, and that's one of the reasons it has become a favorite among people with color-treated hair. Hard water minerals can cling to the hair cuticle, leaving strands looking dull, rough, and sometimes even causing blonde hair to appear brassy. In addition, styling products and dry shampoo can create additional layers of buildup that make hair feel heavy and lifeless.

Pre-Tox Spray helps target:

• Hard water minerals • Chlorine from swimming pools • Styling product residue • Dry shampoo buildup • Excess oil • Environmental pollutants

Unlike many aggressive detox treatments, Pre-Tox Spray was developed specifically for color-treated hair and works alongside Colorproof's Advanced Color Last System® to help preserve color vibrancy while removing what is damaging or fading hair color.

The ideal frequency depends on your lifestyle, water quality, and styling habits.

Hair Type or Lifestyle | Recommended Use
Frequent swimmers | 1–2 times per week
Hard water households | Weekly
Heavy styling product users | Weekly
Dry shampoo enthusiasts | Weekly
Normal color-treated hair | Every 2–4 weeks
Before intensive treatments | As needed

One of the hidden benefits of Pre-Tox Spray is that it creates a cleaner canvas for masks, conditioners, and leave-in treatments. When buildup is removed, beneficial ingredients can better penetrate the hair rather than sitting on the surface.

Absolutely. In fact, color-treated hair often benefits the most from occasional hair detox treatments.

Many people assume that clarifying or detoxing products automatically strip color, but Pre-Tox Spray was specifically formulated to help remove the things that can make color look dull while supporting color longevity.

Benefits for color-treated hair include:

• Helps remove buildup that can make color appear muted • Supports brighter-looking highlights and less brassy blondes • Helps restore softness and shine • Safe for color-treated, highlighted, and bleached hair • Helps maintain vibrancy between salon visits
